Trigger every time a zap is turned on

Hello, 

I want to execute certain actions every time a zap is turned on and off. I have found a working trigger offered by zapier but that only works for the action fo turning off a Zap. The alternative for when a Zap is turned on is triggered only if the Zap has been created and activated subsequentially. But this doesn’t work for me because I want to receive a call at a specific endpoint when a user has activated a Zap without creating it.

Has anyone found an alternative solution?

Hi @vanessa 

Is it only for 1 Zap?

If so, you could log every Zap Run into a GSheet and use that to get an idea of when the Zap was ON, granted it won’t be a true timestamp for when the user turned the Zap ON.

It is for multiple stand-alone zaps.

I could do that, but it wouldn’t be applicable in my environment. What I need is to receive a request at a specific endpoint each time a zap is turned on.

There is no such Zapier Manager trigger available or other Zap app trigger available for this event that I’m aware of.
