Zapier is very easy to use - everything you want to do/learn is in the no-code interface page, no need for reading documentation. This (as a developer myself) seems very complex to use. I have to read each integration's library, and also use Typescript (why not JS or something more popular?), at which point, I may aswell just write code and use an API.

We think Zapier is a fantastic product and we've used it ourselves many times. But it's more focused on simpler use cases and we found ourselves hitting the wall and then being frustrated that there wasn't a good alternative that could live in our code.

You can use JavaScript and will have a great experience – all of our code is in TypeScript which means you get a really nice experience as either a JS or TS developer.
