Introduction

This guide walks through the entire process of building an automated workflow for your users to use -- front picking apps, adding authentication, filling inputs and publishing.

How to Build a Workflow

Fields and Fieldsets

An Action is an operation that can be performed against a third-party API; either a `READ` or a `WRITE`.

Selecting an Action

Support users in selecting 3rd party authentications, either through an existing authentication or by adding new.

Selecting an Authentication

Creating workflows using the Zapier Workflow API is a recent addition, and there are some known limitations.

Known Limitations

Listing apps available on Zapier is a simple way to show users all of what's possible on Zapier

Retrieving Apps on Zapier

Listing a users zaps reveals existing workflows created by users.

Retrieving a list of users Zaps

Zap templates are pre-made Zaps that help users discover popular use cases for automating their work. Each template features a specific use case and the apps needed for it to work.

Retrieving Zap Templates

With an embedded Zap editor in your product, your users can create and edit their Zaps without leaving your app.

Embedding the Zapier Editor

The Workflow Element is a prebuilt UI component that offers the quickest—and easiest—way to surface your Zapier integration directly within your own product.

Embed the Workflow Element

Keeping our elements secure and usable is critical at Zapier

Insights are available to review the performance of your embed, and track usage growth.

Embed Insights

Prefills allow you to define the input fields on behalf of the user, simplying the experience of setting up their Zap.

Pre-filled Zaps

Quick Account Creation is a seamless, accelerated sign-up feature allowing first time Zapier users to skip the standard sign-up procedure and onboarding survey. Enabling Quick Account Creation as part of your embed tool code helps provide a more frictionless experience for end users.
