AI agents for Zapier

Keep your Zaps — give them a reasoning layer. AGNT connects to Zapier so agents can read what happens there, reason about it, and act — with a receipt for every run.

Zapier and AGNT, in brief

What it does	Lets an AGNT agent read from and act in Zapier.
Connects with	An API key held in the local vault
AGNT node	zapier-action, zapier-trigger
Runs when	A Zap forwards an event
Typical build time	Two minutes
Where data goes	Nowhere by default — AGNT runs on your machine and credentials never leave it.

What you can automate

Reacts when…

a Zap forwards an event

Agents can…

receive from and trigger Zaps

Teams use it for

agents as the thinking step inside Zaps
migrate gradually, not big-bang
reach long-tail apps through existing Zaps

Build it: the Zapier workflow

Design goal for Zapier: agents as the thinking step inside Zaps; migrate gradually, not big-bang; reach long-tail apps through existing Zaps. The template below supplies configurable nodes, not the complete logic for those goals.

Use this Zapier setup template to arrange the schedule, input review and API operation. Configure the account-specific fields and add your own decision and approval controls before activation.

Configuration example for Zapier. API and model calls may send data to your selected providers.

Zapier — read, decide, actSetup template · configure before activation

This is a schema-checked starting point, not an end-to-end tested automation. Replace every CONFIGURE_ value, choose the operations you intend, connect credentials and map source outputs into later inputs. An edge orders steps; it does not supply a condition, an approval gate or a field mapping. Add and test those controls explicitly before any write. Cloud APIs and model providers may receive data. Keep the workflow inactive until tested with fixtures.

Configure Zapier Trigger

Receive events from 6,000+ apps via Zapier. When something happens in your connected apps (new email, form submission, sale, etc.), this trigger fires your workflow.

webhookUrl — Copy this URL into your Zapier webhook action. In Zapier, add a 'Webhooks by Zapier' action and paste this URL. Current example: CONFIGURE_WEBHOOKURL.
authType — Authentication method (recommended: Bearer for security) Current example: None.

Configure Zapier Webhook

Send data to 6,000+ apps via Zapier webhooks. Trigger actions like sending emails, creating tasks, posting to social media, and more by sending JSON data to your Zap's webhook URL.

zapWebhookUrl — Your Zap's webhook URL. In Zapier: 1) Create a new Zap, 2) Choose 'Webhooks by Zapier' as the trigger, 3) Select 'Catch Hook', 4) Copy the webhook URL and paste it here. Current example: CONFIGURE_ZAPWEBHOOKURL.
payload — JSON data to send to Zapier. Example: {"email": "user@example.com", "name": "John Doe", "amount": 100}. This data will be available in your Zap for mapping to other apps. Current example: CONFIGURE_PAYLOAD.

Keep the Zaps, add a mind

Existing Zaps represent real working integrations, and replacing them wholesale is a project nobody needs. Inserting an agent as the reasoning step inside a Zap adds judgment to automation that already runs.

A migration path rather than a cliff

It also serves as a bridge. Long-tail applications with no native integration remain reachable through an existing Zap while the workflows that matter most move onto native connections at whatever pace suits.

What the Zapier node actually exposes

Send data to 6,000+ apps via Zapier webhooks. Trigger actions like sending emails, creating tasks, posting to social media, and more by sending JSON data to your Zap's webhook URL.

Full Zapier Webhook parameter reference

Parameter	Type	What it does
`zapWebhookUrl`required	string	Your Zap's webhook URL. In Zapier: 1) Create a new Zap, 2) Choose 'Webhooks by Zapier' as the trigger, 3) Select 'Catch Hook', 4) Copy the webhook URL and paste it here.
`payload`required	string	JSON data to send to Zapier. Example: {"email": "user@example.com", "name": "John Doe", "amount": 100}. This data will be available in your Zap for mapping to other apps.

Every parameter above is read from the shipped zapier-action node, so it cannot drift from the product.
