How to use Zapier
Create a Zap by picking a trigger app and event and one or more action steps, mapping fields between them. Note that each step that runs consumes a task, so a five-step Zap uses five tasks per run and cost scales with complexity. Start on the free tier to prototype, then upgrade when you exceed the monthly task cap.
Best for
The largest app-integration catalog. Non-technical users automating SaaS workflows quickly. Simple, reliable multi-step automations with no infrastructure.
How it behaves
Bills per task, meaning every successful action step, so cost scales steeply with workflow complexity. Task overages are billed above the base rate, and annual billing saves roughly a third.
Tips
Keep Zaps lean, every step is a billed task. Prototype on the free tier before upgrading. Use its huge app catalog rather than custom code.
Pricing
Free tier with 100 tasks a month. Professional starts around $20/mo billed annually for 750 tasks, and Team runs higher, with Enterprise custom.
