Customize Zapier Interfaces
Zapier Interfaces lets you design branded, user-friendly experiences for your workflows, and a key part of that is customizing the interface name, subdomain, and home page. By adjusting these settings, you can present a polished, consistent entry point for anyone who uses your forms, apps, or internal tools.
This guide walks you through how to change each of these elements so your workspace and projects reflect your organization’s identity and navigation preferences.
Understanding naming and domains in Zapier Interfaces
Before you begin, it helps to understand what each of these options controls inside Zapier Interfaces:
- Interface name: The label displayed in your workspace and, if selected, in the main navigation bar of your project.
- Subdomain: The beginning portion of the URL where your interface is hosted (for example,
your-name.interfaces.zapier.com). - Home page: The default page that loads when someone visits the root URL of your interface.
These options are managed per interface, giving you flexibility when you are building multiple projects under one Zapier workspace.
How to change an interface name in Zapier
Renaming an interface is often the first step toward organizing your workspace. A clear, descriptive name makes it easier for teammates and end users to find the correct project in Zapier Interfaces.
Steps to rename your interface
- Open your Zapier account and go to Interfaces from the left-hand navigation.
- In the Interfaces list, locate the project you want to edit.
- Click the interface to open the builder.
- In the top-left corner of the interface builder, find the current interface name.
- Click directly on the name field to edit it.
- Type your new interface name.
- Press Enter or click outside the field to save the new name.
The updated name appears in your workspace list, and, if the interface is pinned to your navigation bar, users will see this new label in the project navigation as well.
Set or edit the subdomain for your Zapier interface
Each interface gets its own subdomain, which forms part of the URL that visitors will use. Customizing this value can help you create a more recognizable, shareable link inside Zapier Interfaces.
Subdomain behavior in Zapier
Keep these points in mind when working with a subdomain:
- Each interface can have its own unique subdomain.
- The subdomain appears before
.interfaces.zapier.comin the URL. - There may be character or uniqueness requirements, so choose a concise, descriptive term.
Steps to change your interface subdomain
- From your Zapier dashboard, go to Interfaces.
- Select the interface whose URL you want to customize.
- In the builder, look for the settings panel that includes subdomain options.
- Find the subdomain field and click to edit it.
- Enter your desired subdomain, following any prompts about allowed characters or availability.
- Save your changes.
Once updated, share the new interface URL with your users. If you previously distributed the old link, make sure to update any internal documentation or external pages so visitors reach the correct Zapier interface.
Choose a home page in Zapier Interfaces
The home page determines which page users see first when visiting your interface’s root URL. Picking the right home page is crucial for guiding visitors through your Zapier-powered workflows.
Why the home page matters in Zapier
Choosing the correct home page can help you:
- Direct users to a specific form, dashboard, or app view.
- Highlight key information or calls to action tied to your Zapier automations.
- Keep navigation simple for people who only need a single, primary page.
Steps to set or change the home page
- Open Interfaces in your Zapier workspace.
- Click the interface you want to configure.
- In the interface builder, review the list of pages in the left-hand or top navigation area.
- Select the page you want to use as the home page.
- Locate the setting or toggle labeled as the Home page option.
- Enable or activate this option for your chosen page.
After you save your changes, visiting the base URL of the interface will automatically load the new home page. This lets you create straightforward entry points for both internal teams and external users.
Best practices for Zapier interface branding
Changing the name, subdomain, and home page is part of a larger strategy to maintain consistent branding and navigation inside Zapier Interfaces. Consider these suggestions when planning your structure.
Naming best practices in Zapier Interfaces
- Use simple, descriptive names such as Customer Onboarding Portal or Support Intake Form.
- Match interface names with related Zaps or workflows to reduce confusion.
- Avoid internal-only abbreviations that new users might not understand.
Subdomain and URL strategy in Zapier
- Align subdomains with project or department names, for example,
support,sales, orops-dashboard. - Keep subdomains short and easy to spell, especially if they will be read aloud or printed.
- Update any documentation or help articles that reference the interface URL after you change the subdomain.
Home page planning for Zapier projects
- Choose the page that represents the most common task or workflow as your home page.
- Use clear headings and navigation links from the home page to any secondary pages.
- Test the experience by opening the interface in an incognito window to see what new users will encounter first.
Troubleshooting common changes in Zapier Interfaces
Occasionally, updates to name, subdomain, or home page settings may not immediately appear as expected within Zapier.
Updates not showing immediately
- Refresh your browser: Clear the cache or perform a hard refresh if you still see the old value.
- Check permissions: Make sure you are editing the correct interface in the right workspace.
- Verify saved changes: Confirm that you clicked the appropriate save button for the settings panel.
Subdomain or URL issues in Zapier
- URL not loading: Confirm you typed the subdomain correctly and included
