Create drafts of your Zaps

Create a draft of an existing Zap

When you go to the Zap editor, you’ll see you are in read-only mode. To start a draft:

• Click Edit Zap.
• You can click Save & exit draft at any time to go back to read-only mode. A (has draft) label will be added to the name of your Zap. Drafts are also automatically saved as you work on them.
• You can also discard the draft by clicking the three dot icon at the top right of the screen and selecting Discard draft.

Note

When you reopen a Zap, it will be shown in read-only mode. If you click Edit Zap, you’ll be prompted to continue editing the draft or discard it. Discarding a draft is permanent and no changes are made to the existing Zap.

How to publish a draft

To publish your draft, click Publish, in the Zap editor. This will replace the original Zap.

If your Zap is off but has a draft, you’ll be asked if you want to publish the existing Zap or the draft.

Note

• If the Publish button is greyed out and doesn't allow you to publish the draft, one of the steps may need attention.
• Steps associated with a Zap that has changed significantly will not replay. This includes changes to:
  • The order or number of steps in the Zap.
  • The apps used in the Zap.

Create a draft of a new Zap

After you create a new Zap, if you leave the Zap editor, a dialog box will appear. You can:

• Save draft to keep the current draft.
• Discard draft to discard the current draft.
• Cancel to continue editing your draft.

Delete a draft

You must publish a Zap at least once before you can delete a draft. To delete a draft:

• Click Edit Zap.
• In the editor sidebar, click the Versions icon .
• Your draft will appear at the top.
• Click the trash icon next to the draft.
• Click Delete.
