How Zapier Works

In Zapier, you automate workflows between different online tools using Zaps. They consist of two key components: triggers and actions.

Triggers are events that initiate a Zap; they tell Zapier when to start working. You can think of them as the starting point, the "if" statement of your automation. For example, a trigger could be:

  • A new email in your Gmail inbox.
  • A new message in your Slack channel.
  • A topic updated in ClickHelp.

Actions are the tasks Zapier performs after a trigger occurs. They are the "then" part of your automation. Actions can be anything from sending a notification to creating a new file or updating a record.  Some examples of actions include:

  • Creating a new document in Google Drive.
  • Adding a new item to a Trello board.
  • Exporting a publication in ClickHelp.

Zapier offers thousands of trigger and action options across various apps, allowing you to automate countless scenarios and customize your automation to your specific needs.
