Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
- Break Ended
Triggers when an employee ends a break — either by returning to work or by clocking out while on the break.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Employee Added
Triggers when a new employee is added to the company.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Employee Clocked Out
Triggers when an employee clocks out at the end of a shift. Editing a finished shift, starting a break, or switching jobs does not trigger this.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Missed Clockout
Triggers when an employee is still clocked in past the point the shift should have ended, which usually means they forgot to clock out. Checks the last 48 hours.
Try ItTriggerPolling
- Break Started
Triggers when an employee starts a break.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Employee Clocked In
Triggers when an employee clocks in from the mobile app, the web app, a clock app, or through the API. Time entered by hand on the dashboard does not trigger this.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Employee Deactivated
Triggers when an employee is dismissed or deactivated. Useful for offboarding steps such as revoking access.
