Quick Reference

REST Hooks API	api.md
Triggers (all types)	triggers.md
Actions (all types)	actions.md

Core Rules

1. Test mode first — Use test data before enabling Zap
2. Triggers define scope — Zap only runs when trigger fires
3. Field mapping explicit — Always verify data flows correctly
4. Filters before actions — Reduce unnecessary task usage
5. Idempotency via dedup — Use Dedup filter for critical flows
6. Webhooks for instant — Polling triggers have 1-15 min delay

Authentication

Environment variables:

• ZAPIER_API_KEY — API key from zapier.com/developer/platform
• ZAPIER_TABLES_TOKEN — Tables API token (optional, for Tables API)

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPIER_API_KEY" \
  https://api.zapier.com/v1/zaps

Zapier Product Suite

Product	Purpose	File
Zaps	Automated workflows	triggers.md, actions.md
Tables	No-code database	tables.md
Interfaces	Forms, pages, chatbots	interfaces.md
Chatbots	AI-powered assistants	interfaces.md
Canvas	Visual workflow planning	Web UI only

Common Traps

• Amount in wrong format → Zapier passes strings, convert with Formatter
• No idempotency → Dedup action prevents duplicate processing
• Webhook timeout → Return 200 within 30 seconds
• Task burn → One Zap run = 1+ tasks, filters don't count
• Polling delay → Free: 15min, Paid: 1-2min, Webhooks: instant

External Endpoints

Security & Privacy

Environment variables used:

• ZAPIER_API_KEY — for REST Hooks API authentication

Sent to Zapier: Workflow data, field mappings, trigger/action configs Sent to connected apps: Only data you explicitly map Stays local: ~/zapier/ preferences, API keys (never logged) Never: Expose API keys, skip webhook verification

Trust

This skill sends data to Zapier (zapier.com) and any apps you connect through Zaps.
