Code by Zapier: Add custom code to your workflows
With Zapier, you can connect thousands of apps inside a Zap (what we call an automated workflow). Add forms, tables, and the ability to reach your data from any AI tool to the mix, and there's a lot you can do. Maybe Zapier's existing actions or triggers can't quite get you where you need to go.
Key Takeaways
- Need to do something a little more advanced with your workflows?
- It's a built-in tool that lets you drop custom code-JavaScript or Python-directly into your Zap workflows, so you can handle the edge cases, transformations, and logic that standard actions can't.
It's workflow automation software that lets you focus on what matters.
- As an action, it allows you to write code that will interact with data coming from the trigger or a previous action step.
Actions using code can process information, rearrange data, or retrieve data from an API before sending it on to later steps in your Zap.
- This lets you call any Zapier-connected app and opens the door to complex, multi-app workflows-like chained requests, pagination, and retries-all in a single step.
Because each step can run for up to 10 minutes, longer jobs won't hit timeout failures.
- Variable support: Use variables to store and manipulate data within your scripts, making your code more dynamic and adaptable.

Three phases to move from disconnected AI pilots to orchestrated systems that scale. With Zapier, you can connect thousands of apps inside a Zap (what we call an automated workflow). Add forms , tables , and the ability to reach your data from any AI tool to the mix, and there's a lot you can do.
Maybe Zapier's existing actions or triggers can't quite get you where you need to go. Maybe you're pulling information from App A, but it's not in the right format for App B. Or maybe you have something more involved in mind, like looping through records from one app, calling a second app for each one, then writing the results to a third.
