Zapier Release Notes

When you turn on or publish a Zap, the Zap editor now checks that the Zap's owner has access to every app connection used in the Zap. If a connection is not shared with the owner, they will not be able to turn on the Zap. The Zap editor will display a message identifying the step and connection that needs to be shared.

Guided templates turn a finished Zap into a guided setup experience for teammates. Instead of sending a bare template outline, you can walk people through connecting their own accounts, choosing which fields they may change, and publishing a fully configured Zap—with your help text at every stage.

What does this mean for you?

• Create a guided template from any Zap — Decide which fields stay locked, which are editable, and what instructions appear for app connections, fields, and variables.
• Share a clear path to a working Zap — Recipients use a wizard to name their Zap, connect apps, fill optional fields, and review before publishing their own copy.
• Manage everything in one place — Open the Guided templates page from the Templates icon in the main navigation to search, filter, share, change ownership, or delete templates you own or that others shared with you.
• Speed up authoring with AI (optional) — While building or using a guided template, you can use Generate with AI to draft titles, descriptions, overviews, and section content, then edit as needed.

Guided templates are different from shared Zap templates: they ship with your field values and configuration, and consumers follow your wizard instead of configuring the Zap entirely on their own.

Starting June 15, 2026, AI by Zapier steps are priced by model tier. The model tier you select determines how many tasks your step uses per run.

Available on plans

Free
Professional
Team
Enterprise

What does this mean for you?

• AI steps are now priced by model tier: Your model tier sets the base cost per run (Standard 1x, Advanced 3x, Premium 5x). Tool calls add to that base cost at the same rate.
• The default tier is Advanced: New steps default to the Advanced tier (3x) to allow you to use tools with your AI by Zapier step. You can switch to Standard (no tools), Premium (tools and more sophisticated reasoning), or connect your own AI account (1x) at any time.
• A per-step task limit protects against unexpected usage: If a step reaches 75 tasks in a single run, your Zap pauses and asks you to approve before continuing.

Availability

Available on Professional, Team, and Enterprise plans. Tool calls are not currently available for Enterprise accounts. Users on Enterprise accounts are still able to use AI by Zapier steps without tools.

Get started

• Add tools to your AI by Zapier step: configure tools, select a model tier, and understand task usage
• AI by Zapier model tier pricing: full breakdown of rates, the task formula, and worked examples

Field mapping in the Zap editor now shows structured data the way it actually exists—as nested objects, arrays, and lists—instead of flattening everything into long, repetitive field names. This makes it easier to find and map the exact data you need when working with complex API responses, webhook payloads, and AI outputs.

What does this mean for you?

• See the structure: A visual data browser shows hierarchical data as collapsible trees instead of flattened lists.
• Easily identify field types: Each field displays its data type (string, number, array, object) so you can map with confidence.
• Get line items easily: Hover on any nested field and click Get all values to map it as line items—no separate Formatter step needed.
• Map what you need: Select a single value, an entire array, or a whole object depending on what your next step requires.

Availability

Enhanced field mapping is available on all Zapier plans. During rollout, a toggle in the field mapping dropdown lets you switch between the nested view and the classic view.

Get started

Learn how to use the nested field mapping view.

Enterprise admins can now set up usage alerts to get notified when task usage exceeds a threshold they define. This helps you catch unexpected spikes early—before they burn through your task allocation or indicate a problem with a Zap.

Available on plans:

Free
Professional
Team
Enterprise

What does this mean for you?

• Catch spikes early. Get email and in-app notifications when task usage exceeds your threshold, so you can investigate before it impacts your account.
• See what's driving usage. Alert emails link to the Alerts page, showing which Zaps are consuming the most tasks.
• Take action quickly. Pause problem Zaps directly from the alert details or adjust your threshold as needed.

Availability

Usage alerts are available now for all Enterprise accounts. Admins, super admins, and account owners can configure alerts in the Admin Center.

Get started

Learn how to set up usage alerts in your Enterprise account.

Code by Zapier action steps can now run for up to 10 minutes with extended runtimes. If your Code steps are failing with timeout errors, you can increase the runtime to give your code more time to complete.

Note

Extended runtimes is in a free phase. After the free phase, this feature will consume additional tasks based on the runtime tier you select.

What does this mean for you?

If you've hit the runtime ceiling on Code steps or had to split logic across multiple Zaps, extended runtimes let you consolidate that work into a single step.

• Longer execution times: Configure a custom max runtime in your Code step settings, up to 10 minutes.
• Multi-API workflows: Chain multiple API calls, process large datasets, or run complex LLM operations without worrying about timeouts.
• Works with JavaScript and Python: Extended runtimes are available for both supported languages.

Availability

Extended runtimes are available for Code by Zapier actions only. Triggers do not support extended runtimes.

Get started

Learn how to configure extended runtimes for Code steps.

What does this mean for you?

Enterprise customers can now connect their own AI model provider to Zapier. When connected, AI inference from supported products routes through your cloud provider account instead of Zapier's built-in models.

If your organization requires AI requests to go through approved cloud infrastructure, you can now meet that requirement while keeping Zapier's AI-powered features enabled across your account.

• Security and compliance — Route AI requests through a provider your organization has already approved, avoiding additional vendor security reviews that can delay AI adoption.
• Governance — Meet your organization's requirements for AI workloads while your team continues using Zapier Agents and Knowledge by Zapier.
• Flexible fallback — Choose whether Zapier's built-in models handle requests when your provider is unavailable, or restrict inference to your provider only.

Supported products and providers

This feature applies to Zapier Agents and Knowledge by Zapier. AWS Bedrock is the supported cloud provider, with Google GCP Vertex AI and Microsoft AI Foundry available to request.

Get started

Admins, super admins, or the account owner can connect a provider in the Admin Center. Learn how to set up your own AI accounts in Zapier or read more about using your own AI accounts in Zapier.

OpenAI is deprecating the Assistants API. Zapier has deprecated all ChatGPT (OpenAI) steps that use it. On August 26, 2026, Zaps using these steps will stop working. If your Zaps use any of the affected steps, update them before that date.

What's changing

The following ChatGPT (OpenAI) steps are deprecated and hidden in the Zap editor:

• Actions:
  • Conversation With Assistant (Legacy)
  • Create Assistant
  • Upload File (when used with assistants)
  • Create Vector Store
  • Create Vector Store File
• Searches:
  • Find Assistant
  • Find or Create Assistant
• Dropdowns used in the steps above:
  • List Assistants
  • List Vector Stores
  • List Assistant Files

These steps are no longer available when creating new Zaps. Existing Zaps that use them will continue to run until August 26, 2026, after which they'll stop working.

Find your affected Zaps

1. Go to your Zaps.
2. In the search or filter, select ChatGPT.
3. Open each Zap and check if any step name matches the deprecated steps listed above.

What to do next

Replace deprecated steps with Responses API-based actions where possible, or redesign the workflow.

Action comparison

Use this table to find the recommended replacement for each deprecated action:

Deprecated action | Recommended replacement
Conversation With Assistant (Legacy) | Conversation
Conversation (Legacy) | Conversation
Summarize Text (Legacy) | Analyze Text
Classify Text (Legacy) | Analyze Text
Analyze Text Sentiment (Legacy) | Analyze Text
Analyze Image Content With Vision (Legacy) | Analyze Images
Extract Structured Data (Legacy) | Extract Structured Data

• Use Conversation for back-and-forth conversations with memory, file search, web search, and MCP tool support.
• Use Send Prompt for simple, one-off prompts that do not need memory.

After replacing the step, remap fields in later steps if needed, then test and publish your Zap.

We're excited to announce that from November 19, 2025, to the end of April 2026, all tasks generated by the Lead Router step will be completely free for users on modern Zapier plans during this promotional period! Build with confidence and seamlessly integrate Lead Router into your workflows, without worrying about task consumption.

[Image: Lead Router Promo - end of April 2026]

What is Lead Router?

Lead Router lets you route leads based on territory, company size, or any custom criteria. Take advantage of this promotional period to test advanced routing scenarios, refine your lead qualification processes, and ensure your sales team receives the right leads at the right time.

Who can route leads for free?

If you're on a modern Zapier plan, you'll automatically get free Lead Router tasks (0 instead of 30 during the promotional period). Users on a legacy Zapier plan also receive a great deal — 1 task per lead during the promotional period, instead of the standard 30 tasks.

Limitations

Free Lead Router tasks are limited to 10,000 leads routed per account per month, during the promo period. Zapier reserves the right to restrict or revoke promotional access in cases of excessive or abusive usage. After the promotional period ends, standard task rates will automatically apply.

This promotion applies only to tasks executed within the Lead Router step itself, not to tasks in the rest of your Zap workflow.

You can now import public npm (JavaScript) and PyPI (Python) packages in your Code by Zapier steps. Use community-tested libraries for tasks like parsing documents, transforming data, advanced date manipulation, and more!

What does this mean for you?

Third-party package support lets you extend Code by Zapier with libraries from the public npm and PyPI registries. You can:

• Add packages directly in the Code editor — Search for and add packages by name, with optional version pinning.
• Import and use packages in your code — Copy the import statement and use the package in your JavaScript or Python code.
• Edit or update packages — Change the package name or version at any time to fix compatibility issues or pin a specific version.

Things to know

• Only public packages from npm (JavaScript) and PyPI (Python) are supported. Private registries are not supported.
• Only ESM (ECMAScript Module) JavaScript packages are supported. CommonJS (CJS) packages will not work.
• Native modules that require compiled binaries or system-level access are not supported.
• Package install and code execution have separate time limits per run. Execution time limits vary by plan. Install time limits are 120 seconds for Enterprise and 30 seconds for all other paid plans.
• Zapier does not scan packages for security vulnerabilities. Review the package's security posture before using it.
