Triggers and Actions

What is a Zap?

In Zapier, a "Zap" is the an automation unit that connects two or more web applications to perform a specific task. It's a trigger-action workflow that says: "When something happens in App A, do something in App B" in the format of: When [Trigger] → Then [Action]

Anatomy of a Zap:

  1. Trigger: An event that starts the Zap. (e.g., "New email received in Gmail")
  2. Action: The task performed in another app. (e.g., "Send notification to Slack")
  3. Connection: The link between the trigger and action apps.

Example: When [Trigger: Form is submitted in App A] → Then [Action: create a Lead in AccuLynx]
