About the Developer Discussion forum

Welcome!The Developer area of the Zapier community is a place for dev-to-dev discussion about connecting your API to the Zapier Platform, and integrating Zapier into your product with our Partner API and embed SDK.  Bring your questions as you get started with our developer tools, building and testing your integration.  Share your expertise as a Zapier developer by answering questions and sharing your tips.  While Zapier engineers will certainly be hanging out here and participating in conversations, this forum is driven by community participation.  When you ask questions here be sure to share enough context so that another developer without access to the private details of your account can provide an answer that’s generally applicable to other developers with the same question.  So when should you ask a question here, and when should you contact Zapier support?Great questions for this community: “How can I do ____ with the Zapier developer tools?”  For example, “use my GraphQL API to

Zap vs Agent

When do you build a zap vs when do you build an agent?I’m in the early, early phase of building an agent for some tasks and I’m feeling like it would make more sense to use a zap for things that don’t require context or interpretation. I could easily see myself building an agent and going overboard or over complicating something by using an agent. What are some of the questions or “tests” do you use to determine if you need a zap or an agent?

Seeking Recommendations for Customer Service Automation

Hi everyone,I’m exploring ways to improve our support workflow and reduce response times. We’re particularly interested in solutions that can handle routine inquiries, ticket routing, and follow-ups efficiently.I’ve been reading a lot about AI-driven chatbots, CRM integrations, and automated messaging platforms, but the options seem overwhelming.Could anyone share their experience with reliable systems or software? Specifically, I’m curious about the best tools for customer service automation that balance ease of use, affordability, and scalability.Any insights, pros/cons, or real-world examples would be incredibly helpful.

Zapier Google OAuth for users with restricted scropes

I am currently developing an app that integrates Google OAuth with restricted scopes, such as Gmail Compose. Currently I am handling OAuth process in my app, however I ran into an issue that I am required to undergo security assessment when verifying Google App. I am exploring the option of using Zapier to handle these Google actions on behalf of my users to simplify the OAuth process. I imagine that the flow would look something like this:User connects his Google account via Zapier provided Google OAuth screen; User invokes “Create draft” or some other action in my system and calls Zapier webhook with some required data; Zapier creates a Gmail draft for that specific users.So my question is - is it possible to fully rely on Zapier's native Google integrations to handle OAuth and Google API actions for all my users without requiring my app to undergo Google's OAuth verification and third-party security assessment or would this assessment be required regardless when working with restric

How does Zapier still not have the "Go To" or "Jump to" function?

Surely it’s a basic coding necessity to be able to “go to” or “jump to” a section of the code, yet Zapier somehow hasn’t added this functionality.Why is it that Zapier doesn’t seem to think that this feature would be handy when it forms the basic structure of many other coding systems ( i.e. it existed in BASIC back in the early 80s), and when there are already so many threads asking about this function?When can we expect them to add this simple function?!?! Not having the option of it makes the code so convoluted and bulky, and time consuming to edit.

Suggesting a system variable for the current day of the week in Zapier

This solution has been provided to run Zaps only during business hours: The issue is that I still need to use a formatting step to get my filter ready for this which could be tiresome if I have a series of Zaps I need to set this up for.Would it instead be possible to just set up the current Day of the Week as a System variable?This would mean I simply add into my filter to be to continue if {{current_day_of_week}} exactly matches Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday.Hell, I could also do it the other way to make it so that it continues if {{current_day_of_week}} does not exactly match Saturday or Sunday.If instead of getting the days as texts and instead numbered Monday - Sunday as 1 - 7, we could instead simply set it to continue only if {{current_day_of_week}} is less than 6. Either of theses would be an amazing feature which would provide tons of versatility while removing the need to have repeated formatting steps to convert the current date into a day of the w

How Do You Manage API Integrations Efficiently Across Multiple Apps in Zapier?

Hi everyone,I'm working on automating workflows that involve several cloud-based apps and custom APIs, and I’m looking for tips on effective Integration API Management within Zapier. Specifically, how do you handle authentication, rate limits, versioning, and error monitoring when dealing with multiple APIs through Webhooks or Code steps? Are there best practices or third-party tools you’ve used to improve visibility and control over your API-based Zaps? I’d love to hear how you manage complex integrations and maintain stability as your workflows scale.

Chatbot placement on website- need control of where it is placed

We need to be able to have control over where the chatbot is being placed on the websites for the customers we are building them for. Currently, it appears there is a DOM being used that forces the chatbot to be placed in the lower right-hand corner. Many times, potential clients already have existing information popups located there. Yet, at the same time, they could use an intelligent chatbot. For example, one website I'm looking at this morning is already having a live chat in the bottom right-hand corner, and I want to offer the company an intelligent chatbot and place it in the bottom left-hand corner, but I don't have the control to do that. or do I?

Zapier + AI integrations = budget chaos. How do you track costs?

Zapier's pricing is per task, Claude charges per token, OpenAI has different rates... anyone else feel like they need a PhD in billing to understand their AI automation costs?I'm running Zapier workflows with GPT-4, Claude, and custom APIs. Using AICosts.ai to have a single source of truth. Each service bills differently and I'm constantly surprised by charges I forgot about.Question for the community: How are you tracking costs across Zapier + all your AI integrations?

Help shape a new Zapier integration for syncing bank transactions - feedback wanted

Hi everyone!I’m the founder of a popular financial data syncing app, and we’re currently building a new Zapier integration that will let users automate workflows based on changes to their bank transactions.We’re planning to support triggers like: When a new transaction appears When a transaction is updated (e.g., a pending charge is finalized) When a transaction is removed or reversed Our goal is to make it easier to automate financial tasks, whether that’s logging expenses, tracking cash flow, flagging specific charges, or syncing to tools like Google Sheets or Notion.Right now, we’re looking for folks who are willing to share their workflows and feedback on what kinds of triggers, filters, or actions would be most useful. We’ll use that input to shape the integration, and you’ll get early access to use it for free.If you’ve been wanting something like this, or have ideas for what would make it truly useful in your setup, feel free to comment or DM me. I’d love to hear from you!Th

Agentic AI with Zapier for Retention Workflows - Leveraging AI Inside Real Word Feedback

Hi everyone, excited to join the community.At Hashlogics, we’ve been actively building AI powered retention and loyalty systems using Zapier as the core automation layer. Our current focus is around agentic workflows where AI agents trigger personalized actions across tools like Slack, Notion, and email, based on live user behavior.One scenario we’re testing: A user event enters via webhook Zapier calls a GPT based agent for segmentation and intent detection It then routes the response to dynamic follow up actions through Slack or scheduled sequences All results are logged in Notion for async visibility We’re deliberately keeping the setup lean and dev friendly so it’s scalable without depending on a complex custom backend. I’ve personally blocked time to handle this sprint and would love to connect with anyone solving similar challenges, especially around: Structuring testable Zapier workflows for AI agents Handling unpredictability in LLM outputs Keeping tone and logic cons
