Managing automations across your business processes can often feel overwhelmingโ€”especially when itโ€™s hard to remember what you named your Zaps or how each automation fits within your broader workflows. Without a clear way to see how your automations interact, small adjustments can feel risky, potentially affecting downstream systems.

Puzzleโ€™s Zapier integration changes that by giving you a visual representation of how your automations work within your processes. You can easily sync your Zaps, find what you need, and make changes with confidence, all within the Puzzle canvas.
