Update to the latest app version in Zaps

Zapier will attempt to automatically update your Zaps to the latest version when an app is updated. When Zapier can't update your Zaps, existing steps can continue to use the app's previous versions, but it will no longer be supported or available for new steps. The app version may also get deprecated. Once the deprecation date has been reached, Zaps that still use the version will be paused.

Depending on the app version update, there are two ways in the Zap editor to
update your Zaps:

  • Assisted update.
  • Unassisted update.

Assisted update

If a new app version is available, you’ll see a callout box in the Zap editor asking you to update. If you use private apps and have been granted access to multiple app versions, you can switch between them.

Unassisted update

If you see no prompt to upgrade your Zaps in the Zap editor, you’ll need to manually update your Zap to use the latest app version.
