I need to create a Zap to add new registrants (contacts) to GoToWebinar from a Google Sheet.
If I paste 500 new rows (contacts) in my Google Sheet at one time, does Zapier count this as 1 task or 500 tasks to add these contacts to GTW?

Hi
Article about Tasks: https://zapier.com/help/manage/history/learn-about-tasks-in-zapier
Article about rate limits: https://zapier.com/help/troubleshoot/behavior/rate-limits-and-throttling-in-zapier
NOTE: If you have a large number of items (100+) that trigger a Zap at once, Zapier holds them for you and sends you an email requesting your confirmation.
This helps to prevent a large number of actions from running by mistake and protects your task limit.
Thanks for the reply
I did read these articles, and I guess my answer is it will cost me 500 tasks for 500 rows added to my Google Sheet. This will get expensive since my list is closer to 10,000 contacts that I want to import/register in my GTW account.

NOTES:
The value proposition of automation:
Thanks for clarifying, that makes more economic sense. My Zap is only one action step!
So it will only cost me 1 task each time I update my Google sheet (or when the trigger/action runs), whether I add 1 row or 1000 rows at a time. Correct?

Examples
Say you add 5 rows, that’s 5 Tasks, if your Zap has 1 action step that runs successfully.
Say you add 100 rows, that’s 100 Tasks, if your Zap has 1 action step that runs successfully.
