Troubleshooting

If requests fail, run

zero doctor check-connector --env-name ZAPIER_TOKEN

or

zero doctor check-connector --url https://actions.zapier.com/api/v2/check/ --method GET

How to Use

All examples below assume you have

ZAPIER_TOKEN

set. Authentication uses the

x-api-key

header.

1. Check API Key

Verify that your API key is valid.

bash

curl -s "https://actions.zapier.com/api/v2/check/" --header "x-api-key: $ZAPIER_TOKEN" | jq .

2. List Exposed Actions

Retrieve all actions you have configured and exposed in your Zapier AI Actions dashboard.

bash

curl -s "https://actions.zapier.com/api/v1/exposed/" --header "x-api-key: $ZAPIER_TOKEN" | jq '.results[] | {id, description, params}'

3. Execute an AI Action

Execute a configured action using natural language instructions. Replace

ACTION_ID

with the action ID from the list above.

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://actions.zapier.com/api/v2/ai-actions/ACTION_ID/execute/" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "x-api-key: $ZAPIER_TOKEN" -d '{"instructions": "Send a message saying hello to the #general channel"}' | jq .

4. Execute with Parameter Hints

Supply parameter hints to guide the AI in filling action fields. Supported modes:

locked

(use exact value),

guess

(AI matches text),

choose_from

(AI selects from list),

ignored

(skip parameter).

Write to

/tmp/zapier_request.json

:

json

{
  "instructions": "Send an email about the weekly report",
  "params": {
    "to": {
      "mode": "locked",
      "value": "team@example.com"
    },
    "subject": {
      "mode": "locked",
      "value": "Weekly Report"
    }
  }
}

Then run:

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://actions.zapier.com/api/v2/ai-actions/ACTION_ID/execute/" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "x-api-key: $ZAPIER_TOKEN" -d @/tmp/zapier_request.json | jq .

5. Preview an Action (Dry Run)

Preview what the action would do without actually executing it. Add

preview_only=true

as a query parameter.

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://actions.zapier.com/api/v2/ai-actions/ACTION_ID/execute/?preview_only=true" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "x-api-key: $ZAPIER_TOKEN" -d '{"instructions": "Create a new row in the Sales spreadsheet with name John and amount 500"}' | jq .

6. Execute a V1 Exposed Action

Execute an action using the V1 endpoint. Replace

ACTION_ID

with the exposed action ID.

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://actions.zapier.com/api/v1/dynamic/exposed/ACTION_ID/execute/" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "x-api-key: $ZAPIER_TOKEN" -d '{"instructions": "Send a Slack message to #dev saying deployment complete"}' | jq .

Guidelines

Configure actions first: Before using the API, you must configure and enable actions in the Zapier AI Actions dashboard. The API can only execute actions you have set up
Use natural language: The
```
instructions
```
field accepts plain English descriptions of what you want to do. The AI interprets and maps instructions to the correct action parameters
Parameter modes: Use
```
locked
```
mode when you know the exact value,
```
guess
```
when the AI should match text to available options, and
```
choose_from
```
to provide a list of valid IDs
Preview before executing: Use
```
preview_only=true
```
to verify the AI correctly interprets your instructions before running the action
Response statuses: Check the
```
status
```
field in responses - values are
```
success
```
,
```
error
```
,
```
empty
```
, or
```
preview
```
Rate limits: Zapier enforces rate limits on API calls. Implement backoff if you receive HTTP 429 responses
Action IDs: Each configured action has a unique ID. Use the list endpoint to discover available action IDs
