Stop copying data between apps. Create Swiss QR invoices, import expenses, and sync accounting data automatically—no coding required. Connect to 8,000+ business tools.
Zapier is an automation platform that connects your business apps together. It works through simple "if this, then that" commands called Zaps.
Here's how it works: When something happens in one app (like a new customer in your CRM), Zapier automatically triggers an action in another app (like creating an invoice in Magic Heidi).
No technical skills needed. You set up automations with a visual interface—no code, no developers, no complicated setup.
With over 8,000 app integrations, Zapier helps businesses automate repetitive tasks that waste time and create errors. For Swiss freelancers and small businesses, this means less admin work and more time for billable projects.
Manual invoicing wastes hours every week. Copying data between apps creates errors. Chasing payments takes time you don't have. Magic Heidi's Zapier integration eliminates all of it.
Magic Heidi connects to Zapier through a simple API key. Once connected, you can automate your entire invoicing and expense workflow. Every invoice includes compliant Swiss QR codes—mandatory since September 2022.
Getting started takes less than five minutes. After setup, your automations run 24/7 in the cloud.
Open Magic Heidi and generate your API key in Settings > Integrations. Takes two clicks.
