E66: Is Zapier Worth It?


Listen Later

In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, we break down one of the most common questions mortgage brokers have: Should you be using workflow automation tools like Zapier, Make (Integromat), or N8n in your business?

Tom dives into:

  • Pros and cons of the top platforms
  • Real-world examples from the mortgage industry
  • A checklist to know if automation is right for you
