How to Use the Latest Zapier App Updates

The latest Zapier app updates add new triggers, actions, and options that help you automate more tasks without code. This guide walks you through how to use each new feature, based strictly on Zapier’s official update details.

Below, you will learn how to set up and use the new options for YouTube, Basecamp 3, Odoo ERP Self Hosted, Facebook Lead Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Outlook, and Google Workspace Admin.

Getting Started with the New Zapier Features

Before using these updates, make sure you can edit or create Zaps in your Zapier account and that you have the correct permissions in each connected app.

1. Sign in to your Zapier account.
2. Open an existing Zap or create a new one.
3. Select the updated app as your trigger or action step.
4. Look for the new options described in this guide.

Each section below focuses on how to configure one of the new or improved features so you can start using them right away.

How to Use the New YouTube Zapier Trigger

A new trigger lets you start Zaps when a YouTube Channel Section is published.

Set Up the YouTube Channel Section Published Trigger in Zapier

1. In Zapier, create a new Zap.
2. Choose YouTube as the trigger app.
3. Select the trigger event related to Channel Section Published (the new option).
4. Connect your YouTube account if you have not already.
5. Configure any available filters or channel details.
6. Test the trigger to pull in a sample channel section.

After the trigger is set, add action steps such as posting to a project management tool, sending a notification, or logging the event in a spreadsheet.

How to Use the Updated Basecamp 3 Zapier Action

Basecamp 3 now supports managing important fields when you create or update items via Zapier.

Configure the Company Name and Account in Zapier

1. Open your Zap and select a Basecamp 3 action step.
2. Choose the relevant action event (for example, creating or updating an item).
3. In the action setup screen, look for the new fields:

• Company Name
• Account

4. Map data from your trigger step or type fixed values for these fields.
5. Test the action to confirm that the Company Name and Account are applied correctly.

Use this to route tasks to the right account or client automatically when your Zap runs.

How to Use the Odoo ERP Self Hosted Zapier Update

Odoo ERP Self Hosted now includes support for organizing records more precisely when used in Zapier Zaps.

Work with the New Model and Group by Model Fields

1. Edit a Zap that uses an Odoo ERP Self Hosted action or create a new one.
2. Select Odoo ERP Self Hosted as the app.
3. Pick the needed action event (such as creating or updating records).
4. In the setup section, fill in the new fields:

• Model – specify the Odoo model you want to work with.
• Group by Model – choose how records should be grouped or organized.

5. Map any required data from previous steps.
6. Test the action to ensure the records are created or updated in the correct model and groups.

This helps you keep Odoo data structured without manual sorting.

How to Use the Facebook Lead Ads Zapier Improvement

Facebook Lead Ads in Zapier now offers better error messages when a trigger test fails.

Handle Facebook Lead Ads Trigger Tests in Zapier

1. Create or open a Zap with a Facebook Lead Ads trigger.
2. Select the desired lead form and page.
3. Click Test Trigger.
4. If the test fails, review the new, more detailed error message.
5. Adjust permissions, page access, or form selection based on the error details.
6. Run the test again until Zapier successfully pulls a sample lead.

These improved errors make it easier to identify misconfigurations, so your lead-based automations can run reliably.

How to Use the LinkedIn Ads Zapier Update

LinkedIn Ads triggers in Zapier now provide the ID of the forms that generate each lead.

Capture the LinkedIn Lead Form ID in Zapier

1. Set up or open a Zap with a LinkedIn Ads trigger that receives new leads.
2. Test the trigger to pull in sample lead data.
3. In the sample output, locate the Form ID field.
4. Use this Form ID field in downstream actions to:

• Filter leads by specific campaign forms.
• Route leads to different CRM pipelines based on the form used.
• Segment reporting or notifications.

By mapping the Form ID in your actions, you can build more granular workflows around each lead form.

How to Use the Microsoft Outlook Zapier Enhancement

Microsoft Outlook actions in Zapier can now save more than 100 recipients.

Send Outlook Emails to Large Recipient Lists via Zapier

1. In your Zap, choose a Microsoft Outlook email action.
2. In the To, Cc, or Bcc fields, enter or map your full recipient list.
3. Previously, large lists could be limited to 100 recipients. With the new enhancement, longer lists are now supported.
4. Compose your email subject and body as usual.
5. Test the action to verify that all intended recipients are included.

This update is especially helpful for notifications or internal broadcast messages managed via automation.

How to Use the Google Workspace Admin Zapier Update

Google Workspace Admin’s Create Group action in Zapier now allows multiple Google admins to manage the same group.

Add Multiple Owners to a Google Workspace Group in Zapier

1. Create or open a Zap that uses Google Workspace Admin with the Create Group action.
2. Fill in the group’s basic details, such as name and email address.
3. Look for the field that controls Group Owners or admins.
4. Add multiple owner email addresses instead of a single one.
5. Map these from prior steps or enter them manually.
6. Test the action to confirm the group is created with all listed owners.

This makes it easier for multiple administrators to manage access, membership, and settings for the same group.
