I'm curious - given that they support hundreds of integrations across so many platforms, all with their own product roadmaps etc, how does Zapier actually develop and maintain these integrations?

What happens if Google or Trello or Salesforce changes their APIs? How does Zapier keep up?

We maintain the ones we built originally, but new ones are typically maintained by the app/service in question. At some point, the question of maintaining and updating "X,XXX" integrations with a comparatively small team does arise, so the idea of the partner owning and being responsible for the integration begins to make sense.
Thanks - so the integrations could also be maintained by the partners. That makes a lot of sense.
