This product is in open beta. It’s available for use but still in active development and may change.

In Zapier Functions, secrets let you securely store data, such as an API key, which can be referenced in your Functions code files.

Click + Add secret. A dialog box will open.
In the Secret name field, enter a name for your secret.
In the Secret value field, enter the value you want to encrypt.

Whenever you want to use the encrypted secret, enter the following code in your code file:

os.environ["<name of your secret>"]

Replace <name of your secret> with the name you created for it.

You can also copy the reference from the Secrets menu.

From the code editor, click the Secrets icon on the left. A sidebar will open.
Click the Copy icon. The code will be copied to your clipboard.
Paste the code into your code file.

You can edit a secret at any time.
