Zapier communication how-to guide
This guide explains how to manage communication from Zapier so you get the right notifications, product emails, and in-app messages without overwhelming your inbox.
Understand Zapier communication types
Before adjusting settings, it helps to understand the main kinds of messages you can receive from Zapier and where they appear.
- Product and feature emails: Announcements about new features, updates, and improvements.
- Account and billing messages: Essential information about your account, subscription, and security.
- Workflow notifications: Alerts related to your automations, such as errors or important status changes.
- In-app messages and banners: On-screen prompts, tips, and guided experiences inside your workspace.
Some messages are required for account security and compliance, while others are optional and can be adjusted or turned off.
How to review Zapier email messages
Email communication from Zapier can generally be grouped into two broad categories: essential emails and optional product-related emails.
Essential Zapier account emails
These messages are tied to your account health and security. They typically include:
- Sign-in and verification emails
- Password reset messages
- Critical billing and payment notices
- Important security or policy announcements
Essential emails are required to maintain access to your account and stay compliant with legal and security standards. These cannot usually be fully disabled but are limited to important updates.
Product and marketing emails from Zapier
Optional product-focused messages can include:
- Feature launch announcements
- Tips for improving your automations
- Newsletters with best practices
- Invitations to webinars or special programs
You can typically manage your consent for this type of email using links at the bottom of those messages. Look for an unsubscribe or manage preferences link in the footer of any non-essential email you receive.
Manage Zapier communication preferences
You can adjust how Zapier contacts you so you only receive messages that matter most to your work.
Update preferences from an email
- Open any non-essential email that you received from Zapier.
- Scroll to the bottom of the message.
- Select the unsubscribe or manage email preferences link.
- On the preferences page, review the categories of communication.
- Clear any categories you no longer wish to receive, then save your changes.
Changes usually apply to future mailings. You may still receive essential account-related messages as needed.
Control in-app messages in Zapier
Communication inside the product can appear as pop-ups, banners, or guided tours. While core notices may still appear when necessary, you can:
- Dismiss one-time prompts by closing them.
- Use links in the message to learn more or take action.
- Adjust notification-related settings where available in your account area.
If a particular in-app experience includes its own settings or opt-out control, follow the instructions in that prompt.
Best practices for Zapier notifications
To keep communication useful and manageable, consider these best practices when working with Zapier messages.
Prioritize important Zapier alerts
Some alerts help you maintain reliable automations. Use your email client’s tools to keep the most important messages visible.
- Create a filter or rule that tags key notifications.
- Mark account and security notices as important.
- Review error or failure alerts promptly to avoid interruptions in workflows.
Limit non-critical communication
Periodic product updates can be helpful, but you may not need every category of message from Zapier.
- Opt out of newsletters you do not read regularly.
- Keep only the update types that directly support your daily work.
- Review preferences a few times a year to confirm they still match your role.
Troubleshoot Zapier communication issues
If you are not receiving expected communication, or if you are getting messages you thought you had turned off, follow these checks.
When Zapier emails are missing
- Check your spam or junk folders.
- Search your email account for messages from the sender address associated with Zapier.
- Add those sender addresses to your safe sender or allow list.
- Confirm that you still have access to the email address linked to your account.
- Review your email preferences using the link in any recent message if available.
Remember that some high-sensitivity emails, such as security alerts, may be sent even if you have limited other categories of messages.
When unwanted Zapier emails continue
If you keep receiving non-essential messages you no longer want:
- Open the latest email and select the unsubscribe link.
- Ensure you complete any confirmation step shown in the browser.
- Allow some time for the change to update across mailing systems.
If multiple mailing lists are involved, you may need to adjust preferences for each specific category.
