# Integrating and automating with third party apps

Buffer's API is now available on all plans, making it easy to connect Buffer with the tools you already use to automate tasks and build custom workflows.

Buffer integrates with a range of automation and AI tools, including:

* **Zapier** — see our [Zapier integration with Buffer](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/using-zapier-with-buffer-EapRng2lI7) article
* **IFTTT** (via native integration)
* **Make** (via native integration)
* **n8n** (via API)
* **ChatGPT** and **Claude** (via MCP)
* **TRMNL** — display your Buffer queue counts, next scheduled post, and last sent post on a [TRMNL](https://trmnl.com) e-ink device. Install from [trmnl.com/recipes/376448](https://trmnl.com/recipes/376448); the plugin is forkable, so you can plug in your own Buffer OAuth credentials and customize what appears on-screen.
  * For help with the plugin or a fork you've customized, start with TRMNL's community. If your Buffer connection looks like the problem, email us at [hello@buffer.com](mailto:hello@buffer.com).

In these tools, you can create workflows that start with a trigger in one app and automatically complete an action in Buffer — things like sending tagged articles from Feedly to your queue, sharing new blog posts, or copying posts to a Google Sheet.

For more advanced custom integrations, see [Using Buffer's API](https://support.buffer.com/en-us/articles/what-is-buffers-api-GtIYIQilz5).
