Tool mentioned: Zapier

Short answer: Zapier is great for fast, low-to-medium volume AI support; build a custom connector for high volume, strict security, or complex routing.
- Scale: Zapier has task limits and per-action costs; custom connectors scale without per-task billing.
- Maintenance: Zapier reduces dev time; custom needs ongoing engineering and monitoring.
- Security: Zapier stores credentials (third-party access); custom gives full control for residency/audit needs.
