"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data,” a famous detective once said. "Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."
While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote those words a long time ago, in a far different context, they still apply to the working world today. Making sound business decisions, whether it be about your product, your customers, or your employees, requires good data.
Qualtrics is a software company that helps businesses get that data. With a suite of products that serve research teams, HR teams, and teams on the frontline with customers, Qualtrics enables teams to send surveys and gather responses to get the data they need to make informed decisions.
That data can't sit in Qualtrics forever, though. It needs to be distributed, taken in, and acted on for it to have any value. By automating parts of your Qualtrics workflow with Zapier, you can make sure you're putting all of your data to good use, leading to smarter, more informed decisions.
Zapier is the leader in workflow automation—integrating with thousands of apps from partners like Google, Salesforce, and Microsoft. Use interfaces, data tables, and logic to build secure, automated systems for your business-critical workflows across your organization's technology stack. Learn more.
