How Zapier works

Zapier creates a "Zap" consisting of a "Trigger" and an "Action" to build an automation process.

Trigger is an event that starts the automation process in Zapier. For example, a trigger occurs when a new email is received or a new file is uploaded. Action is the task performed after the trigger occurs, such as copying an email to another service or saving a file to a specific folder.

• Trigger: Event that starts automation (e.g., receiving a new email)

• Action: Task performed after the trigger (e.g., saving email content to the cloud)

For more detail information, please check Official Zapier Guide.

OFFLIGHT Zapier Integration supports the following Triggers and Actions:

• Trigger: Done task

  • When a task is completed in OFFLIGHT, it triggers the automation process.

  • Example: Send a message to a Slack channel when a task is completed in OFFLIGHT.

• Action: Create task

  • When a trigger is executed in another app, create a task in OFFLIGHT.

  • Example: Create a task in OFFLIGHT when you are mentioned in Discord.

Detailed usage will be explained in the following guide.
