# Automating Close with Zapier

In addition to integrating with other apps, you may want to automate specific actions within Close. For this reason, we allow you [to link Close with itself](https://zapier.com/apps/closeio/integrations) in Zapier.

* Changing the Lead Status in Close when you get a response to an Email Sequence
* Creating a new Task in Close when a new Lead is created
* Randomly assigning leads in Close
* Pause an Email Sequence using various triggers

and much more.

Pretty cool, right? We think so.
