How to Add a Checklist to a Page in Zapier Interfaces

This guide explains how to add, configure, and manage a checklist block on a page in Zapier Interfaces so you can capture task progress and completion in a structured way.

By the end, you will know how to insert the checklist block, customize its fields, and connect it with other interface components for better data collection and review.

Before You Start in Zapier Interfaces

To follow these steps, you need an existing interface and at least one page where you can place building blocks. The checklist block is available within the Interfaces editor and can be added to any standard page layout.

Make sure you have permission to edit the interface and that you understand how your team plans to use the checklist data, such as for tracking project tasks, onboarding steps, or quality checks.

Add a Checklist Block in Zapier Interfaces

Use the Interfaces editor to place a checklist block on your page. This block lets users check off items and submit their selections.

Steps to Insert the Checklist Block

1. Open your interface in the Interfaces editor.

2. In the left or right sidebar, locate the block library.

3. Find the Checklist block in the list of available blocks.

4. Drag the Checklist block onto your page layout, or click it to add it to the selected section.

5. Position the block where you want it to appear on the page.

Once the checklist block is visible on the page, you can configure its fields and behavior using the settings panel.

Configure Checklist Block Settings in Zapier Interfaces

After you add the checklist, you can adjust its settings to control how it looks and functions for your users.

Basic Checklist Options

Use the block settings panel to configure core options, such as:

• Title: Add a clear title for the checklist so users understand what they are checking, such as “Onboarding Tasks” or “QA Review Steps”.

• Description or Help Text: Give short instructions that explain how to use the checklist and what users should do after marking items complete.

• Required setting: Decide whether users must complete specific checklist fields before they can submit the page or form.

Add and Edit Checklist Items in Zapier Interfaces

A checklist block is made up of individual items that users can mark as done. You can customize each item in the block.

1. In the checklist settings, find the section for items or options.

2. Click to add a new item, then enter the label text, such as “Reviewed requirements” or “Updated documentation”.

3. Repeat to add each item you want users to see.

4. Use drag handles (if available) to reorder items into a logical sequence.

5. Edit any item label by clicking it and updating the text.

6. Remove unwanted items using the delete or remove control next to the item.

Keep item labels short, action‑oriented, and specific so users can quickly understand what each step means.

Control How Users Interact with the Checklist in Zapier Interfaces

You can refine how users work with the checklist, including whether they can select multiple items or must complete all items.

Submission and Validation Settings

Depending on the configuration of your page, the checklist may be linked to a submit button or form event. In the checklist settings, review:

• Required fields: Choose whether the checklist must have a minimum number of checked items before submission.

• Validation messages: Configure any error or helper text that appears when users try to submit without completing required items.

• Default state: Decide whether items are unchecked by default or if some items start pre‑selected for the user.

Layout and Display Options

Within the Interfaces editor, you can fine‑tune how the checklist appears on the page:

• Width and alignment: Adjust block width or alignment so the checklist fits naturally with other blocks on the page.

• Grouping with other blocks: Place the checklist alongside text blocks, headings, or form fields to create a clear workflow section.

• Responsive layout: Preview your interface at different screen sizes to ensure the checklist remains easy to use on desktop and mobile.

Use Checklist Data in Zapier Interfaces

The checklist block creates structured data you can use elsewhere in your interface.

Connect Checklist to Other Blocks

In the Interfaces editor, you can often connect block values to other blocks or logic. For a checklist, common options include:

• Displaying selected items in a summary block or confirmation message.

• Using checklist values as input conditions for showing or hiding other blocks.

• Passing checklist results into data tables or records within your interface experience.

By linking the checklist with other blocks, you can build guided workflows, approvals, or review processes that are easier for users to follow.

Pair Checklist Blocks with Automations

If your interface is part of a broader workflow, you can feed checklist data into your automated processes. Once data from a submitted page is available, it can trigger further steps, updates, or notifications in your automation design.

Best Practices for Checklists in Zapier Interfaces

Well‑designed checklists are easier to understand and more reliable for tracking task completion.

• Keep lists focused: Use separate checklists for different stages or teams instead of a single long list.

• Use consistent language: Start items with action verbs such as “Review”, “Confirm”, or “Upload”.

• Avoid ambiguity: Make sure each item can be clearly marked as done or not done, without interpretation.

• Test with users: Preview the interface and run through the checklist as a user would to confirm that the flow is clear.
