WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
Business professionals and operations teamsLindy automatically categorizes incoming emails by priority, drafts contextual responses in your voice, and sends replies without manual intervention. Over a week, this reclaims the 5-10 hours that would normally go to email sorting and writing, letting professionals focus on higher-value work instead of inbox management.
Executives and knowledge workersBefore each meeting, Lindy pulls relevant context from your calendar and CRM, prepares talking points, and sends them via iMessage. After the meeting, it records notes, identifies action items, and distributes summaries automatically. This eliminates manual pre-meeting research and post-meeting follow-up work.
Sales and operations teamsText Lindy with a request like "Update all Q2 deals in Salesforce to reflect the new close date" or "Book a 30-min slot with the finance team next week." Lindy reads your Slack and calendar, makes the updates, and confirms completion, all without leaving your messaging app.
RevOps and sales teamsZapier enables revenue operations and sales teams to automate lead management workflows across multiple applications, ensuring leads are captured, qualified, and routed to the right team members without manual intervention. With features like Lead Router Beta that turns complex lead routing into one simple step, teams can streamline handoffs between marketing and sales, automatically update CRM systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and ensure no lead falls through the cracks. This automation helps drive more conversions by reducing response times and ensuring proper lead distribution based on predefined criteria.
