Zap is an integration between two or more services, which runs automatically on the Zapier platform.

Configuring a Zap is a pretty straightforward process. On-screen instructions provide assistance. To get started, you can use one of the Zap templates. Using a template is typically quicker than hand-crafting your Zap from scratch.

Manual configuration

If needed, more detailed instructions for configuration steps are below.

From your Zapier Dashboard, create a new Zap by clicking the Make a Zap button.

Step 1: Set Trigger

• Choose App: Choose a trigger app - for example, Google Calendar.
• Choose Trigger: Select a trigger within the app - for example, Event Start.
• Connect Account: Connect your account for the select trigger app.
• Set Up Options: Set up options, if needed, and test the step.

Note: actions and triggers for TMetric require choosing an account. What is an account you can learn from this topic.
