# Integration platforms

**Answer:** Use Zapier for event-driven no-code flows on the main record types. Use the Power Platform connector inside Microsoft tools when getting, creating, updating or deleting five record types is enough; it has no triggers. For anything else, including webhooks, business actions and other entities, build on the API.

Coevera can be connected without writing code, or with very little. When a platform stops short,
the API takes over.

## Platforms

### Zapier

The **Coevera** app on Zapier has triggers, actions and searches for accounts, appointments,
contacts, custom entities, leads, opportunities, products and tasks.

- Triggers for new and updated records.
- Create and update actions, plus creating product line items.
- Searches and search-or-create steps, including **Find Owner**.
- Signs in with an API application.

Read the guide: [Zapier](/integrations/zapier/).

### Microsoft Power Platform

A connector for Power Automate, Power Apps and Copilot Studio (Premium) and Logic Apps
(Standard), listed by Microsoft under the company's former name.

- Get, create, update and delete, by record ID.
- Accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities and tasks.
- No triggers.
- 100 calls per connection per minute, a limit set by Microsoft.

Read the guide: [Microsoft Power Platform](/integrations/power-platform/).

### Build on the API

The REST and GraphQL APIs reach every entity and field in a space, custom entities included.
[Webhooks](/webhooks/overview/) report record changes as they happen, and GraphQL carries
[business actions](/get-started/rest-or-graphql/#business-actions) such as qualifying a lead or
moving an opportunity. Start with the [quickstart](/get-started/quickstart/), and see the
[recipes](/recipes/overview/) for complete programs.

Platforms without a Coevera listing, such as Make, Tray or n8n, connect through the
[REST API](/reference/rest/): call it from their HTTP modules with an API application's
credentials ([authentication](/get-started/authentication/)).

## Before you connect a platform

Zapier and the Power Platform connector both sign in with an **API application**: its user name
and password, the space ID and the service URL, all shown under **Show Access** for the
application. Create one application per platform and give it only the
[permissions](/get-started/permissions-and-scopes/) its flows need. The
[quickstart](/get-started/quickstart/#get-api-credentials) shows where to create it, and
[authentication](/get-started/authentication/) how to rotate its credentials.
