Even with thousands of apps, triggers, and actions available on Zapier, sometimes you want your Zap to perform an action that isn't yet available "out of the box."
 
We're introducing API requests as a beta feature, currently available for 127 apps that now offer "API Request" as an action. This allows you to make raw HTTP requests within the Zap editor.
 
With an API request, you can:
  • Create your own actions if an app on Zapier doesn't offer what you need.
  • Use your personal app connection accounts to automatically set the authentication header.
  • View full API responses.
Learn how to set up your API request action.
