Learning Recap: Zapier Fundamentals Today I

Learning Recap: Zapier Fundamentals Today I began learning Zapier, an automation tool that connects apps so repetitive tasks can run without manual effort. I went from a brand-new account to building and testing a fully working automation. What I Practiced

✅ Created a Zapier account and explored the Dashboard

✅ Understood the core Trigger → Action concept behind every automation ✅ Built a Zap from scratch using the Zap Editor

✅ Selected and configured a Trigger app (Schedule by Zapier — set to run “Every Day”)

✅ Configured trigger settings, including time of day and weekend behavior

✅ Ran a live test on the Trigger step and confirmed it passed

✅ Selected and configured an Action app (Email by Zapier — “Send Outbound Email”)

✅ Filled in action fields: recipient, subject line, and email body

✅ Ran a live test on the Action step and confirmed the email was sent successfully

✅ Understood the difference between publishing a Zap and keeping it as a draft

Skills Practiced • Workflow automation logic (Trigger → Action) • No-code app integration setup • Step-by-step configuration and troubleshooting • Live testing and validation of automated workflows
