What's a Zapathon?

A Zapathon is an internal automation competition you host with support from our Success team here at Zapier. Your employees submit Zaps and compete to have theirs selected as the best. Hosting a Zapathon encourages your employees to discover the benefits of automation in a fun and engaging format.

There’s no limit on Zap submissions, which means you can encourage your whole company to use automation.

You choose the best one

Since this is your competition and not ours, you get to decide what the best Zap means for your company. It could be the most creative, the most time-saving, or the one that saves the most money!

The winner receives swag

To help encourage submissions to your Zapathon, we'll send you a form that you can share with the winner. Once they fill it out, we'll send them a free Zapier speaker!

How to host

We've done all the heavy lifting so it's easy to host a Zapathon. That way, you can focus on the important things—like empowering your employees to minimize tedious tasks, collaborate more efficiently, and streamline work processes with automation.

Invite your employees

Start by inviting users to your Zapier account. Company and Team plans allow unlimited users at no additional cost—because we know more employees automating tasks means more time and money saved for your business.

Start inviting

Share resources

After inviting more users to your account, send an email to all Zapathon participants sharing helpful automation resources. That way, your employees will keep using automation after the Zapathon.

Share resources

Encourage submissions

Send a reminder each week encouraging your participants to submit their idea. And yes, we have a Zap to automate that alert in your text/chat app of choice!

Get Zap

Choose a winner

After the deadline, it’s time for you to choose a winner! This part is entirely up to you—you can have a judging panel or have employees vote for their favorite. Once you choose a winner, they can get their free swag by filling out this form with the promo code you give them.
