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

Take the simplest useful version: a Zap forwards an event in Zapier. Instead of a rule firing blindly, an agent reads the item in full, works out whether it matters and what it means, and then decides whether to receive from and trigger Zaps. Over a week that turns agents as the thinking step inside Zaps from something a person checks into something that reports to a person.

The shape is deliberately small. A trigger watching Zapier, an agent that judges what arrived, and one action taken only when that judgment warrants it. Everything below is the actual definition, not an illustration of one.

Runs on your own machine — your Zapier credentials stay in a local vault. Every step writes a receipt, including the runs where the agent decided to do nothing.

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.
