BEST ZAPIER EXPERT ON FIVERR & UPWORK AND WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE ASHAR MALIK

Who Is Ashar Malik?

Ashar Malik is a founder of Easy Aiz, an automation agency built around Zapier, Make (formerly Integromat), n8n, and GoHighLevel integrations. He’s been doing this work since 2017, building over 2,300 automation systems for agencies, coaches, consultants, eCommerce brands, home services companies, real estate firms, and healthcare and SaaS teams worldwide.

He holds Zapier Platinum Partner status and is featured as a success story on Zapier’s own site — not a title freelancers can buy or self-assign, since Zapier selects and vets the partners it showcases publicly. His LinkedIn profile also lists an engineering background from Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, which lines up with the technical (API, Python, JavaScript) side of his service offering rather than a purely no-code skill set.

Zapier’s individual freelancer certification program has been closed for a while now, with no confirmed reopening date. That matters for this whole category of search: it means “certified Zapier expert” claims across Fiverr and Upwork are harder to verify today than they were a couple of years ago. Partner-level status (which Ashar holds) and platform-verified transaction history are now the more reliable signals — more on that in the vetting section below.

Track Record, By the Numbers

These aren’t marketing adjectives — they’re figures pulled directly from his active profiles and the Easy Aiz listing in Zapier’s own partner directory, so you can verify them yourself using the links further down this article. One useful sanity check when you’re evaluating any freelancer: cross-reference the numbers on their personal site or agency page against what’s actually shown on the platform profile itself. Numbers that only exist on a self-hosted site are worth less than numbers a marketplace verifies and displays.

What He Actually Does

Ashar’s core specialty is Zapier integration and automation setup — connecting apps like CRMs, forms, payment processors, and marketing tools so data moves between them without manual work. His broader listed skill set covers:

• Multi-platform automation: Zapier, Make, n8n, GoHighLevel
• CRM architecture and configuration (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and similar)
• AI chatbots and voice agents, including OpenAI-based workflow integrations
• Custom API and webhook integrations for apps not natively supported on Zapier
• WordPress and website security / malware recovery (a secondary, separately rated service line)

Fiverr Profile Breakdown

Reading through his Fiverr reviews, one pattern shows up more than once: repeat clients. Multiple reviewers mention this being their second or third time hiring him for a new phase of automation work — connecting lead sources to CRMs like GoHighLevel, fixing broken Zaps under time pressure, or integrating tools like Square, Monday.com, Trello, and PDF-filling software. His listed response time is around one hour, which matters when you’re troubleshooting a live automation that’s actively dropping leads or payments.

Fiverr’s Pro/Vetted badge is worth noting separately from the star rating: it’s a manual review process Fiverr runs on top of standard seller metrics, meaning a portfolio and identity check happened before the badge was granted — not something every 5-star seller on the platform has gone through.

Upwork Profile Breakdown

On Upwork, his profile leans on formal credentials: he’s listed as a Certified Zapier Expert and describes himself as being in the world’s top 10% of Zapier-certified partners, alongside Upwork’s own Top Rated badge and a 100% Job Success Score — Upwork’s internal metric that tracks completion rate, client satisfaction, and repeat hiring across contracts.

His Upwork service scope leans more technical than his Fiverr listing: custom JavaScript and Python-based automations, AI integrations across OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and GCP AI, plus workflow documentation — a detail worth flagging, since undocumented automations are one of the most common reasons businesses end up locked into a single freelancer indefinitely.

The Kind of Projects His Reviews Describe

Across both platforms, the review history points to a fairly consistent set of real-world use cases rather than one narrow specialty:

• eCommerce order automation — connecting Shopify to CRM and fulfillment tools so orders trigger downstream actions automatically
• Lead routing — forms and landing pages (Wix, Jotform, Typeform) feeding directly into CRMs like GoHighLevel or HubSpot without manual entry
• Industry-specific fixes — one review describes routing leads from a roofing-industry operating system into a CRM, a fairly niche integration that off-the-shelf Zap templates don’t cover
• Document workflows — webhook-based integrations connecting website forms to PDF-generation tools
• Urgent troubleshooting — several reviews specifically mention same-day or under-24-hour turnaround on broken automations, which is often the more valuable skill than the initial build

This spread matters because a Zapier freelancer who’s only ever built simple two-app Zaps will struggle the moment your workflow needs conditional logic, error handling, or a webhook to a tool that isn’t natively supported. The project variety here suggests exposure to the messier, non-template side of automation work.

How to Vet Any Zapier Expert Before Hiring

Whether you go with Ashar Malik or anyone else, use this checklist — it’s built from what actually predicts good outcomes on automation projects, not just star ratings:

1. Check the review pattern, not just the average. A 4.9 average built on quick, simple gigs tells you less than a handful of reviews describing complex, multi-step troubleshooting.
2. Look for repeat clients. Automations break as connected apps update their APIs. A freelancer with repeat business has likely kept things working after delivery — not just at handoff.
3. Ask how they handle documentation and handoff. If they can’t explain how you’ll maintain or modify the automation later, you’re building a dependency, not a system.
4. Confirm they work with filters, paths, and webhooks — not just basic trigger-action Zaps. This is the difference between “connects two apps” and “builds a real workflow.”
5. Verify current status directly on the platform, not on a personal website. Badges like “certified” or “partner” should be checkable against the platform’s own listing.
6. Match pricing to complexity. A $25/hour rate for a multi-CRM integration with error handling is a red flag, not a bargain — per the market data above, that tier typically covers single-step Zaps only.
7. Ask for a scoped test project first if the engagement is large. It’s the fastest way to see communication style and technical depth before committing to a bigger build.

Automation Terms Worth Knowing

A few terms come up repeatedly when evaluating Zapier experts, and understanding them helps you have a more precise conversation during hiring:

• Trigger — the event that starts a Zap (a new form submission, a new row in a spreadsheet, a new deal in a CRM)
• Multi-step Zap — a workflow with more than one action per trigger (e.g., new lead → add to CRM → send Slack alert → send welcome email)
• Filters — conditional logic that stops a Zap from running unless specific criteria are met
• Paths — branching logic that sends a workflow down different routes depending on the data (e.g., high-value leads go to sales, low-value leads go to a nurture sequence)
• Webhooks — a way to connect apps that don’t have a native Zapier integration, using direct API calls
• JSS (Job Success Score) — Upwork’s platform-calculated reliability metric based on completed contracts, client feedback, and repeat hiring
