הוראות עבודה

1. Zapier Building Blocks

• Trigger — אירוע שמתחיל Zap (New email, Form submission).
• Action — מה Zap עושה (Create row, Send Slack, etc.).
• Filter — תנאי להמשך (continue only if X).
• Path — branching logic (if X then A, if Y then B).
• Formatter — data transformations (text, dates, numbers).

2. Trigger Types

Polling Triggers (default)

• Zapier בודק כל 1-15 דק' (תלוי בtier).
• מתאים ל-tools without webhooks.
• חיסרון: latency, יותר Tasks.

Instant Triggers (Webhook-based)

• Real-time.
• מתאים ל-tools that support webhooks.
• יתרון: מהיר, פחות tasks.

תמיד תעדף Instant אם אפשר.

3. Multi-Step Zaps

Best Practices

• Trigger + מקסימום 5-7 actions per Zap.
• מעבר לכך — split ל-multiple Zaps connected via Webhooks.
• שימוש ב-Storage by Zapier למצב persistent.

4. Paths (Conditional Branching)

Trigger: New Lead
├── Path A: Lead value > $10K → Notify Sales VP
├── Path B: Lead value $1K-10K → Round-robin SDR
└── Path C: Lead value < $1K → Auto-nurture sequence

5. Filters — Quality Control

Filter: Only continue if:
- Email contains "@" (valid)
- Lead source ≠ "spam"
- Country = "Israel"

חוסך Tasks ומונע junk data.

6. Formatter — Data Transformations

Common Uses

• Phone formatting: +972545551234 → 054-5551234.
• Date formatting: 2026-05-07 → 7 במאי 2026.
• Text: lowercase, uppercase, capitalize.
• Numbers: round, calculate.
• Lookup tables: IL → Israel.

7. Zapier AI Actions

built-in (2024+)

• Text generation (OpenAI/Anthropic).
• Image generation.
• Summarize.
• Extract structured data.

דוגמה: Auto-categorize support tickets

Trigger: New Zendesk ticket
Action: Zapier AI — Classify (urgency: high/med/low)
Path A (high): Slack alert + assign to L2
Path B: Standard queue

8. Storage by Zapier

• Persistent key-value store.
• שימושים: counters, last-run timestamp, deduplication.
• 1MB limit per value.

9. Tables (Database)

• Built-in DB.
• אלטרנטיבה ל-Airtable for simple use cases.
• Triggers from Tables.
• Pricing: included on Pro+.

10. Interfaces (Internal Apps)

• Build forms / dashboards.
• Connect to Tables + Zaps.
• Use case: Internal tools without code.

11. Tasks Optimization — חיסכון

Tasks = הצעד הראשי בחיוב

• Multi-step Zap with 5 actions = 5 tasks per run.
• 1,000 runs × 5 tasks = 5,000 tasks/month.

Strategies

• Filters early — exit before expensive actions.
• Single-step where possible — merge actions.
• Batch processing — combine triggers when possible.
• Polling → Webhooks — instant + cheaper.
• Schedule-based — run consolidated daily/weekly.

12. Error Handling

Auto-Retry

• Zapier מנסה שוב 3 פעמים אוטומטית בכישלון.

Manual

• Subscribe ל-error notifications.
• Re-run failed Zaps from Zap History.

Best Practice

• "Catch errors" path → Slack/Email alert.

13. Advanced — Webhooks by Zapier

Catch Hook

• Endpoint לקבלת data חיצוני.
• שימוש: מ-מערכות שלא ב-Zapier integrations.

Custom Request

• POST/GET/PUT לכל endpoint.
• שימוש ב-API שאין לו integration.

דגלים אדומים

• 🚨 Polling on high-frequency — Tasks waste.
• 🚨 No filters — junk runs.
• 🚨 No error handling — silent failure.
• ⚠️ 20+ steps in 1 Zap — split it.

פרומפט לדוגמה

Lead form → Slack + CRM + Email. בנה Zap.

Tasks התפוצצו ל-50K/חודש. מה לעשות?
