THE ZAPIER MONTHLY

FEBRUARY 2016

 
 

This month: Supercharge your Zaps with Search Actions, explore 21 new Zapier apps, and download the only customer support guide you'll ever need. Here's what happened at Zapier in February.

 
 

Search Actions: Track Down Data with Your Zaps

Last month we released Multi-Step Zaps. They unlock possibilities like chaining many Actions to one Trigger, or transforming data with custom code.

But Search Actions might be the most powerful addition. They help you find and update existing data, so your apps stay in constant conversation.

Now you have another layer of knowledge to play with. Tapping into real-time data means you can revise entries on the fly, or snag recent info about a contact. It's a custom search engine for your team's tools.

 
 

Here's how it works: Tell us what you're looking for, and your Zap will dig it up. You'll see searches as a choice when you're adding an Action step to a Zap. Just pick an app and we'll show you the options.

Once your Zap uncovers a match, you can use the result throughout the rest of your workflow.

 
 

Plus we built in fallbacks in case a search comes up short. At the bottom, you'll see an option to create data if it doesn't exist yet. Check the box, and your Zap will set up a new contact, invoice, project, or whatever if it can't find a relevant result.

 
 

Like any good detective, Zaps need a clue to start the investigation. Each app accepts different inputs: it could be a name, title, email address, or other bit of data. Once you plug in a query your Zap will do its best to match you up with the right result.

Search Actions aren't available on every integration yet, but we're working on it! Here's an up-to-date list of Zapier apps that support searching.

Get More Done in March

Let's do some back-of-the-napkin math. There are 1,440 minutes in a day, and 365 days in a (normal) year. That means by saving four minutes per day, you'll reclaim 24 hours in a snap.

Sweet deal, right? These resources will help you rescue that time.
