Create and share your Zap template Optional: Update sharing option Limitations

You can share a copy of your Zap as a template so anyone with the link can use it. The template is a basic outline of each step in your Zap, with apps and events for your trigger and actions pre-populated. When you share your template with other users, they can then connect their own accounts and finish filling in each step.

Example

You have a Zap that triggers whenever you receive a new email with an attachment from Gmail, then uploads the attachment to Dropbox. You can share a copy of the Zap so others can use the Zap with their own Gmail and Dropbox accounts.

Tip

If your account is on a Team or Enterprise plan, you can share your Zap with other members of your account so they can collaborate with you.

Create and share your Zap template

In the top menu of the editor, click the down arrow ICON next to the name of your Zap. A dropdown menu will open.
Click Create template.
You'll be redirected to a new tab or window to set up your template.
In the Zap title field, enter a name for your Zap template.
In the Zap description field, enter an explanation of what the Zap does.
(Optional) To preview your shared Zap template, click Preview.
Click Share. This will open a dialog box.
In the top box, you can see who the Zap is shared with. By default, it is shared publicly with all Zapier users.
(Optional) Click change to change sharing settings for the template.
- Publicly shared: this is the default. Anyone on the internet can discover and make a copy of your Zap.
- Anyone with link: the Zap can only be viewed and copied by Zapier users you send the sharing link to.
- Only your team: anyone in your Zapier account can view and make a copy of the Zap. This option is only available for Teams and Enterprise accounts.
- Turn off: the Zap can't be copied.

The Zap URL field contains a link to your template. To copy your Zap URL to your clipboard, click the Copy icon . You can also share the link by email, Slack, Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and LinkedIn. When you share your link, anyone with access who clicks the link can create a Zap from your template.

Optional: Update sharing option

After you create your shared Zap, you can update who can view and copy your shared Zap. By default, it's shared with anyone who has the link. To update your sharing options:

In the top menu of the editor, click the Zap details icon.
In the Create a template section, click Create template.
You'll be redirected to a new page to manage your template.
In the top box, click Change and select a new sharing option:
- Publicly shared: this is the default. Anyone on the internet can discover and make a copy of your Zap.
- Anyone with link: the Zap can only be viewed and copied by Zapier users you send the sharing link to.
- Only your team: anyone in your Zapier account can view and make a copy of the Zap. This option is only available for Teams and Enterprise accounts.
- Turn off: the Zap can't be copied.

Tip

If you have a Team or Enterprise plan, you can also allow specific members of your account to access your Zap link. Those members will receive an email invite with the share link.

Limitations

Zap templates include all steps and their app and app event selections. They do not include any values you've entered into fields.
If you turn off sharing for a Zap, anyone who already had the link will see a message informing them that sharing has been disabled for the Zap, with options to browse other Zap ideas or create their own Zap.
Zaps with paths, code steps, private apps, legacy apps, legacy triggers, or legacy actions cannot be shared as copies.
Accounts on a Free Legacy plan can’t share Zaps that use Webhooks by Zapier. Review your plan.
By default, shared Zaps are visible through their sharing link, and will appear on pages related to the apps used in the Zap. Your connected accounts, Zap history and data will not be shared.

If you have any feedback on sharing a copy of your Zap, or need to report a shared Zap that contains spam or malicious content, contact Zapier support.
