How do you practice using Zapier when you don’t have any clients yet? I know the basics of using Zapier, but I don’t have the confidence to look for clients because I haven’t actually done real work with it. Are there any practice tasks for this?

Hi
I’m sharing this based on my own experience, if you follow it and give just 2–3 hours daily, you’ll learn Zapier easily.
- Start with Zapier’s own free learning platform: https://learn.zapier.com/
- Explore triggers and actions of popular apps (Shopify, Gmail, Google Sheets, Docs, Airtable, HubSpot, etc.)
- Use Zapier’s 14-day free trial and set a goal to reach at least an intermediate level within that time
- You can practice with free apps like Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Calendar — no client needed
- To simulate real client requirements, use ChatGPT with this prompt:
“I want you to act like a real client who needs Zapier automation.
I will give you the names of some apps (it could be 2, 3, or more).
Your task is to generate 5 realistic client requirements that combine these apps in practical ways.
Make the requirements sound like real-world client requests, not just generic ideas.
Here are the apps: [APP 1], [APP 2], [APP 3] ...”
- Keep giving it different apps, and it will generate new practice scenarios for you eg: Here are the apps: gmail, google sheet.
- For each requirement:
- Sketch the flow or try building it directly in Zapier
- Learn how to apply logic (e.g., using “Filter by Zapier” effectively)
This process will help you move past beginner level quickly
Best of luck with your journey, and remember, the community is here if you need help!
