Zapier Table records can trigger or continue Zaps.
You can trigger Zaps for the following events:
- Trigger Zap Button Clicked: triggers when a "Trigger Zap" button is clicked.
- New or Updated Record: triggers when a record is created or updated.
- New Record: triggers when a record is created.
- Updated Record: triggers when a record is updated.
You can also continue Zaps using the following actions:
- Record Button Click: releases a held Zap when a "Continue Zap" button is clicked.
- Create Record: creates a new record.
- Update Record: updates an existing record.
- Create Table: creates a new table.
- Delete Record: deletes a specific record from a table.
- Find or Create Record: searches for a value within a specific field. If the value is not found, it can create a new record.
It's not possible to recover a deleted record.
Create Zaps from your table
Once the table is created, you can use it in your Zaps.
Create Zaps from the Connected Zaps list
- Click the Zaps
icon at the top right of the table view.
- Click Create Zap.
- In the dialog box, select one of the following:
- Create blank Zap: a Zap with no trigger or action selected is created.
- Trigger when new records are added to this table: a Zap using New Record trigger is created.
- Trigger when changes are made to records on this table: a Zap using Updated Record trigger is created.
- Automatically add records to this table from a form or app: a Zap with Create Record action is created.
- Click Create Zap.
A new Zap will be created, and you can continue to set up your Zap trigger or action.
From a specific field
- Click the name of the field you'd like to use to trigger a Zap.
- In the dropdown menu, select Create Zap.
The Zap will be pre-populated with the Updated record trigger. You can then set up your action.
You can also create a Zap when adding a new field to a table, from the Zap tab.
Send records to Zaps
When you insert a record in a table the Record Status field is set to pending by default. Pending records are only sent to a Zap when you click Send to Zap or if you set the table to automatically send records.
Trigger or continue a Zap from a button field
Button fields allow you to run triggers or actions on a Zap whenever you click a specific button on a table.
There are two types of button fields: Trigger Zap or Continue Zap.
Trigger Zap
This type of button sends the specific record to a Zap as a trigger.
- Click the plus sign
that appears on the right side of a table.
- In the Field Type menu, select Button.
- Select Button in the Field Type dropdown menu. Trigger Zap is the default button type.
- Enter a label for the button. This will appear in the field for each record.
- Click Create.
- Once the field is created, click the Zap tab to start a new Zap for that button. A pre-populated Zap will be created and you can set up your actions.
Continue Zap
This button sends an action to a Zap. You can define up to two different actions for the same field.
- Click the plus sign
button that appears on the right side of a table.
- In the Create Field sidebar, enter a name for the field.
- In the Field Type menu, select Button.
- In the Type of Button menu, select Continue Zap.
- Enter a label for the button. If using a second action, enter a label for the secondary action button.
- Click Create.
- Once the field is created, click the Zap tab to start a new Zap for that button. A pre-populated Zap will be created and you can set up your actions.
- Continue Zap buttons only become available once the Zap has been triggered.
- All actions after "Continue Zap button clicked" will be held until that button is clicked.
