Hi all, I’ve been enjoying making some smart automation using conditional paths, but where a certain path builds out to several actions, I am getting frustrated by the lack of copy functionality - we can copy Zaps, but not parts of Zaps? Have anyone figured out a way around this, to reduce configuration effort / time?
Hi
Paths cannot currently be copied.
Better approach would be to have separate Zaps per Path, since Zaps can be copied/cloned/duplicated.
An advanced approach is to use webhooks to chain Zaps together.
This is accomplished via the Webhooks app: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help
Zap 1
- Trigger: ???
- Action: Webhook - POST (to webhook URL generated from Zap 2)
Zap 2
- Trigger: Webhook - Catch Hook (generates webook URL to use in Zap 1)
- Action: ???
6. Optional: Trigger multiple Zaps with webhooks
If you have multiple webhooks you want to trigger from the same event in your app, you can combine their URLs into a single URL. For example, if you have three Zaps, the URLs would look like this:
https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/zbB61
https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/kzXC4
https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/2Ajjn
You can take the last part of each URLs and combine them into a single URL like this:https://zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/zbB61,kzXC4,2Ajjn
Requests sent to this URL will trigger all three webhook URLs at once.
