Difference between a zap and a task in Zapier?
Two main concepts in Zapier are tasks and zaps - but what's the difference? Lets explore!
What's a zap in Zapier?
A zap is the name of an automated workflow in Zapier.
It's the 'recipe' for what you want to happen.
A zap has a 'trigger' - the app event that starts the workflow.
Then a zap includes one or more search and action steps. This takes care of what you want the workflow to do.
