Nope! Zapier makes it easy for you to move data between your apps without being a developer. We may need you to locate information for certain accounts, but we'll guide you through any additional steps. Our Support team is also here to help you via email should you need assistance.

An app is a web service or application, such as Google Docs, Slack, or Salesforce. Zapier offers integrations for more than 9,000 apps and helps you easily move data between them to automate repetitive tasks. Premium apps are select apps exclusively available to users on paid Zapier plans.

A Zap is an automated workflow that connects your apps and services together. Each Zap consists of a trigger and one or more actions. When you turn your Zap on, it will run the action steps every time the Zap is triggered.

Tasks are used when a Zap successfully moves data or completes an action for you automatically. For example, if your Zap has an action to create new Google Contacts, each contact created will use one task. Some apps or actions may use more than one task when completed successfully. If the action isn't successfully completed, it doesn't count against your task limit.

A trigger is an event that starts a Zap. Once you turn on a Zap, Zapier will monitor for that trigger event. For example, if you create a Zap that sends a message to a Sales rep each time you get a new lead, the trigger is a new lead entering your lead management app. Triggers don't count toward your task limit.

Zap is our term for the automated workflows you set up to connect your apps. A trigger is the event that starts your Zap. Actions are events that happen automatically after your Zap is triggered. For example, in a Zap that sends a message to a Sales rep each time you get a new lead, the trigger is the new lead entering your lead management app, and the action is the Slack notification sent with the new lead's info. When Zapier performs an action successfully, it counts as a task. Each successful action in a Zap counts as a separate task.

Zapier never charges you a task to check for new data—only when a Zap successfully completes an action for you. For instance, say you want an automated workflow to check—or poll—your Dropbox account every five minutes for new files. Then, if a new file appears, the workflow will send you a Slack message. In this case, sending the Slack message about the new Dropbox file counts as a task.

The number of tasks you need depends on the number of active Zap workflows you have and how frequently those Zap workflows run to automate your work. The more actions your Zap workflows complete, the more tasks you'll need.

But don't worry! When you reach your plan's task limit, we'll notify you via email. When you reach your plan's task limit, we'll also switch you to pay-per-task billing.

We'll email you when you're close to reaching your plan's task limit, and then again when you reach it. If you're eligible for pay-per-task billing, we'll switch you to pay-per-task billing once you reach your plan's task limit so your Zap workflows continue running. Pay-per-task billing is charged at a rate of 2.5x the cost of a base task on your subscription.

When you're on pay-per-task billing, we'll email you if you're close to your plan's maximum task limit (3x your task subscription) and then again when you reach it. Once you've reached your maximum task limit, your Zap workflows will pause until the start of your next usage period. If you're not eligible for pay-per-task billing, your Zap workflows will pause once you reach your plan's task limit until the start of your next usage period.
