Creating Your First Zap
To create your first Zap, follow these simple steps:
- Choose a Trigger App: Select an app that will start your automation. For example, Gmail can be your trigger app.
- Set an Event: Define the specific event that acts as the trigger. This could be receiving a new email.
- Define the Action: Determine what you want to happen next. For instance, you could send a Slack message automatically when a new email is received in Gmail, or log a new form response in Google Sheets.
