Zapier

Complete Zapier reference. See auxiliary files for detailed operations.

Quick Start

# Test API connection
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPIER_API_KEY" \
  https://api.zapier.com/v1/profile

Setup

On first use, read setup.md. Preferences stored in ~/zapier/memory.md.

When to Use

Any Zapier operation: create Zaps, manage Tables, build Interfaces, configure webhooks, integrate 6000+ apps, automate workflows.

Architecture

├── memory.md      # Account context, common Zaps
└── zaps/          # Documented configurations

Quick Reference

| Topic | File | |-------|------| | Setup & memory | setup.md, memory-template.md | | REST Hooks API | api.md | | Triggers (all types) | triggers.md | | Actions (all types) | actions.md | | Filters, Paths, Formatters | logic.md | | Webhooks (Catch Hook, send) | webhooks.md | | Zapier Tables (database) | tables.md | | Zapier Interfaces (forms) | interfaces.md | | Popular integrations | integrations.md | | Patterns & recipes | patterns.md |

Core Rules

1. Test mode first — Use test data before enabling Zap
2. Triggers define scope — Zap only runs when trigger fires
3. Field mapping explicit — Always verify data flows correctly
4. Filters before actions — Reduce unnecessary task usage
5. Idempotency via dedup — Use Dedup filter for critical flows
6. Webhooks for instant — Polling triggers have 1-15 min delay

Authentication

Environment variables:

• ZAPIER_API_KEY — API key from zapier.com/developer/platform
• ZAPIER_TABLES_TOKEN — Tables API token (optional, for Tables API)

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPIER_API_KEY" \
  https://api.zapier.com/v1/zaps

Zapier Product Suite

| Product | Purpose | File | |---------|---------|------| | Zaps | Automated workflows | triggers.md, actions.md | | Tables | No-code database | tables.md | | Interfaces | Forms, pages, chatbots | interfaces.md | | Chatbots | AI-powered assistants | interfaces.md | | Canvas | Visual workflow planning | Web UI only |

Common Traps

• Amount in wrong format → Zapier passes strings, convert with Formatter
• No idempotency → Dedup action prevents duplicate processing
• Webhook timeout → Return 200 within 30 seconds
• Task burn → One Zap run = 1+ tasks, filters don't count
• Polling delay → Free: 15min, Paid: 1-2min, Webhooks: instant

External Endpoints

| Endpoint | Purpose | |----------|---------| | https://api.zapier.com/v1/* | REST Hooks API | | https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/* | Incoming webhooks | | https://tables.zapier.com/api/v1/* | Tables API | | Connected apps | 6000+ via Zapier |

Security & Privacy

Environment variables used:

• ZAPIER_API_KEY — for REST Hooks API authentication

Sent to Zapier: Workflow data, field mappings, trigger/action configs Sent to connected apps: Only data you explicitly map Stays local: ~/zapier/ preferences, API keys (never logged) Never: Expose API keys, skip webhook verification

Trust

This skill sends data to Zapier (zapier.com) and any apps you connect through Zaps.
