Using Zapier Chatbots During the Trial
After activation, you can start building and testing conversational automations. Use the trial window to understand how chatbots interact with your existing workflows and data.
Create Your First Zapier Chatbot
To build your first chatbot, follow this type of flow:
- Open the chatbots section from your Zapier dashboard.
- Click the option to create a new chatbot or template.
- Choose a use case that matches your needs, such as support, lead capture, or internal tools.
- Configure prompts, responses, and any connected apps.
- Test your bot and adjust conversation flows based on results.
Focus on a simple use case at first so you can see how the add-on works before building more advanced workflows.
Connect Chatbots to Existing Zapier Workflows
To get the most out of the free trial, link your chatbots to existing automations.
- Trigger workflows when a user submits information in a chat.
- Send collected data to spreadsheets, CRMs, or other apps.
- Use automation steps to enrich or route chatbot data to the right destination.
This approach shows how the chatbots add-on complements the rest of your automation setup.
Zapier Trial Limits, Billing, and Renewal
Your chatbot add-on trial has time and usage limits, plus clear billing rules so you stay in control of costs.
Check Zapier Chatbots Trial Duration
The trial runs for a fixed period. You can typically see the end date in your account:
- Open your account or billing settings.
- Look for the subscriptions or add-ons area.
- Find the entry for the chatbots add-on and review any notes about trial status and end date.
Make a note of this date so you can decide whether to continue before the trial converts to a paid add-on, if applicable.
Understand Zapier Chatbots Usage Limits
The trial may include usage caps such as:
- A maximum number of conversations or interactions.
- Limits on the number of active chatbots.
- Restrictions on certain advanced features.
If you reach a limit, you may see warnings or temporary restrictions. Use these signals to decide whether you need a higher-tier plan or a different configuration.
Manage Billing for the Zapier Chatbots Add-on
During or after the trial, you can review and manage billing options in your account.
- Go to your billing or plan settings.
- Locate the chatbots add-on line item.
- Check whether the add-on is scheduled to convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial.
- Update your payment method, change plans, or disable the add-on according to your needs.
Make changes before the trial expires if you do not want to continue, or confirm your subscription if the add-on is now part of your long-term automation strategy.
