Create Zaps by describing your workflow

You can create a Zap by describing your workflow in plain language. Tell it what should start your automation, what you want to accomplish, and which apps to use—it will build a Zap for you. Your Zap opens in the Zap editor, so you can tweak anything before you publish.

Early Access

This feature is available through the Zapier Early Access program. This feature has limited availability and is in active development.

Write a strong workflow description

A strong prompt reduces incorrect or unexpected results and helps you get better results sooner. Zapier checks whether your prompt includes the following criteria:

• What starts it? The trigger event, such as a new form submission, incoming email, or calendar event.
• What's the goal? What should be accomplished when the Zap runs?
• Which tools? Mention the apps you want to use.
• What happens? The actions and outcomes you need.

Create a Zap by describing your workflow

1. Go to Zapier and, in the builder prompt text field, describe your workflow in plain language. You can also have the builder generate a prompt by clicking the AI icon .
2. Click the Send button to start generating your workflow.
3. The builder will display a list with all the necessary steps to complete the workflow. Click Connect button at the bottom of the screen to connect the apps for the workflow.
   • Click Skip if you'd like to do this later or select an existing connection. When you click Skip, the builder will ask you if you'd like to connect an account later or use an existing connection. You can also provide it with different instructions at this point, such as changing the app used in that step.
4. Once all apps are connected, click Test to check that the workflow is working. The builder will display all information related to each step and ask you to approve any actions that create or submit data.
   • Click the Stop icon at any time to stop the test.
5. Once the test is successful, click Publish Zap.

Limitations

• Paths and conditional logic are not supported yet. You cannot create Zaps with Paths or request conditional logic, such as "if X, do Y; otherwise do Z". This feature will be added in the future. You can add Paths and conditional logic when the Zap is ready, using the Zap editor.
• Results may need refinement. The generated Zap may require adjustments. Your Zap opens in the Zap editor so you can adjust any step, field mapping, or connection.

Edit your Zap after building

The builder creates your Zap in the Zap editor. After you publish, you can visit the Zap editor to: 

• Add, remove, or edit steps. 
• Change apps or actions. 
• Map fields between steps. 
• Add filters or paths.
