Do you need to get data from one app to another? If so, it's time to check out Zapier.
You might be moving data manually from, let's say, your shopping cart to your CRM or from Evernote to Google Docs, or something like that. Zapier allows you to automate the process with what they call a Zap.
In the Zapier app, click Make a Zap, and you'll see two dropdown menus: Trigger app and Action app. Your trigger app is the one where the data is stored and your action app is the one where you want the data to be moved to.
Continuing the shopping cart example above, you would choose your shopping cart app as the trigger app. Zapier support BigCommerce, Ontraport, Infusionsoft, Shopify, Magento, and more. It will then ask you for details about the transaction and the type of data you want to port over. Your action app will be your CRM, and Zapier supports dozens of them. It will ask you for your user ID and password for each application and some more specifics about the type of data you want to transfer.
You can run your zap one time or every fifteen minutes, depending on the nature of your data transfer. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- From Evernote to Google Calendar, add an event.
- From your blog to Facebook, post your latest blog entry.
- Create QuickBooks Online sales receipt from PayPal
- Create QBO customer from Salesforce (or other CRM)
- Create Constant Contact contact from QBO customer
- And several thousand more combinations!
The admin time you will save will amaze you. Data entry and moving data around is truly becoming a thing of the past. You can go to Zapier.com and create a free trial. There is a charge for a larger number of zaps.

Unfortunately, spam is an inevitable part of today's digital world. The bad news is if you have your spam settings set too tightly, you will lose good emails. If you receive new prospects via email, you may miss out on good clients and revenue. If you have your settings too loose, you have to take up extra time to wade through the spam emails.
Here are some tips and facts that can help you control it.
Anti-virus software
Desktop-based (not cloud-based) anti-virus software is a must anyway, and most have an anti-spam component that can be activated to mark spam and move it to a junk folder in your Outlook or email software. You can then periodically review and delete the items in the junk folder.
Web hosting software
Many website hosting packages come with SpamAssassin which you can set up via your website's control panel. You can choose whether to delete the spam and you can set the level of deletion which is based on an email scoring system as to how spammy it is. Your webmster can help you set this up.
Third-party email
About half of all businesses have gone to third-party email solutions such as Google mail, Rackspace, Office 365, and many others. Many of these have built-in spam protection on their servers.
Gmail, which is free, is also very popular and filters the spam automatically. You can set up your gmail account so that it sends from your business email.
Challenge and response software
Some business owners have gone to a challenge and response software such as SpamArrest. All emails coming in require validation via a captcha (those boxes that have you prove you're a person and not a robot by entering letters and numbers) on the sender's part.
Old email addresses
Older email addresses are subject to more spam than newer ones. Also, if you use common emails such as info@yourdomain.com, you probably get more spam than most. Start over every 3-5 years with new emails. It is worth the time.
Too many email addresses
Spam will come in to all the email addresses you use, so if you have two email addresses, you may get twice as much spam. Keep the number of email addresses you use to an absolute minimum.
Scrapers
Avoid placing your email address on your website or in public forums where it can be "scraped" by robots that will place your email on lists without your permission. Even so-called reputable companies employ scrapers; it's more common than we'd like to think.
Also, some of the more aggressive websites will capture your domain and/or email address from cookies, so beware. With Google Chrome, you can browse "incognito," and we recommend you do that.
If you're challenged with spam, try one or more of these ideas to save time.
