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.

Triggers when a new contact is added.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Update Participant
Triggers when a participant is updated.
Try ItTriggerInstant - Create or Update Email
Add a new email on a contact or update an existing one based on the provided ID.
ActionWrite - Add Contact to Group
A contact can either be "Added" "Removed" or "Pending" in a group. CiviCRM only considers them to be "in" a group if their status is "Added".
