You want each rule to be one readable sentence with a wait and an “only if still unpaid” check.
When you do need another app, the SoloWOS webhooks work with Zapier, so you keep Zapier for the few cross-app jobs.

Stay with Zapier if

Your automations connect apps outside SoloWOS, like Google Sheets, Slack or your email platform.
You need multi-step workflows with filters, branches and data formatting.
You already run dozens of zaps for other parts of the business.
