Thank you for the response.
If I understand the resource correctly, it’s telling me to create an App on zapier

I want to send a request to my API to update the candidate progress after the zap action is successful (e.g after scheduling a meeting with a candidate)

@Troy Tessalone 
I’m already using the developer platform; I’m just looking for a way to connect a trigger and a create action together. So whenever the trigger occurs the action is initiated

Zaps created by end users are where app triggers are connected to app actions.

 

If you need help with a Zap app integration on the Zapier Developer Platform, then that should be posted in the Developer Zone category: https://community.zapier.com/p/developer-zone
