Zapier API
Zapier API is a platform that allows developers to programmatically create, manage, and automate workflows (called Zaps) that connect different web applications without writing code. It provides RESTful endpoints to interact with Zapier's automation engine, enabling integration of custom apps or advanced automation scenarios beyond the standard no-code interface. This API facilitates building complex multi-step workflows, handling triggers and actions across thousands of supported apps.
Developers should learn the Zapier API when they need to automate business processes across multiple SaaS applications, create custom integrations for internal tools, or extend automation capabilities beyond Zapier's visual builder. It's particularly useful for scenarios requiring conditional logic, data transformation, or connecting to apps not natively supported in Zapier's library, such as proprietary systems or legacy software.
