When to use a HIPAA-compliant Zapier Alternative
Montana Scher

Zapier is a game-changer for automating workflows across thousands of tools. But if you're in healthcare and dealing with PHI, Zapier isn’t an option—it’s not HIPAA-compliant. That’s where platforms like Morf Health come in, offering secure, healthcare-specific automation without the compliance headaches.
Why Use a HIPAA-Compliant Automation Tool Like Morf?
1. Connect Your Tools Without Custom Development
If you're using multiple applications to delivery care and run your business—EHR, RCM, patient messaging, lab ordering, etc…—you need them to talk to each other. Morf makes that easy. Instead of hiring engineers to build (and maintain) custom integrations, Morf handles the data flow automatically.
For example, when a patient signs up, Morf can:
✅ Create a patient record in your EHR
✅ Trigger insurance eligibility checks
✅ Send automated reminders via SMS and email to complete pre-visit forms
✅ Generate a clinical note based on the patient’s responses
2. Automate the Repetitive Stuff
Healthcare teams are stretched thin. Morf can automate manual tasks, reminders, follow-ups, and internal notifications so your team can focus on care—not admin work.
3. Keep Your Data Clean & Synced
With multiple tools in play, it’s easy for patient data to get out of sync. Morf ensures your source of truth (EHR, CRM, or another system) always has the latest info by keeping everything updated in real-time.
Why Not Just Use One All-in-One Solution?
It’s tempting to look for a single tool that "does it all," but the reality is, no platform excels at everything. Prior auth, lab ordering, patient intake, scheduling—each has its own complexities, and the best providers specialize in a few core things.
Instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all platform with weak functionality, Morf helps you use best-in-class tools while keeping them seamlessly connected. This way, you get top-tier solutions and they work together effortlessly.
How Morf Stands Out from Keragon, Zapier, and Awell
There are a few HIPAA-compliant automation tools out there, but Morf is different because it’s built for visibility, troubleshooting, and direct communication.
🔹 Unified Patient Profiles → See every action tied to a patient in one place. This makes it easy to track the activity of your patients, troubleshoot any issues, and monitor your workflows.
🔹 Built-in Forms & Messaging → Morf includes an advanced form builder for branded forms and lets you send SMS and email messages natively—no extra tools required.
🔹 Full Automation Platform → Unlike Zapier (which isn’t HIPAA-compliant), Morf is built for healthcare. And compared to Keragon and Awell, Morf gives you more control over patient engagement, workflow visibility, and data accuracy.
