Can we migrate from Zapier to Make.com mid-modernization?

Yes, but the migration cost is non-trivial — 4 to 8 weeks of scenario rebuild and validation. Plan the platform decision at the start to avoid the migration.

What if we already have Zapier flows running?

Migrate the HR-orchestration flows to Make.com over a planned migration window. Keep the long-tail Zapier flows in place if they cover non-HR integrations.

Does Make.com require developer involvement?

No. The visual scenario builder is operated by the HR operations team without code. The Make.com strategic HR case demonstrates the operational footprint.
