How to use the Zapier February 2024 updates

The February 2024 product updates for Zapier introduce changes in the editor, Zap history, and on-site help, and this guide explains step by step how to use them effectively.

All instructions below are based strictly on the official February 2024 product update information and will help you understand where to click, what changed, and how to adapt your existing workflows.

Overview of Zapier February 2024 changes

In February, the platform introduced several improvements designed to make building and managing workflows faster and clearer. The main areas affected are:

• Location and behavior of the Zap editor in the browser
• A redesigned Zap history experience with clearer navigation
• On-site help and resource center placement

Before you start, sign in with your existing account so you can immediately see the updated interface as you follow the steps.

How to open and use the updated Zapier editor

The way you access and view the builder has been adjusted to make it easier to focus on one workflow at a time.

Step 1: Open a Zapier workflow from your dashboard

1. Log in to your account in your browser.
2. From the main dashboard, locate the Zaps list in the left navigation.
3. Click the name of the workflow you want to edit.

After you select a workflow, the editor now opens in a focused layout so you can concentrate on triggers, actions, and test data without visual clutter.

Step 2: Navigate the updated Zapier builder layout

Once the editor opens, use these elements to work with the new layout:

• Side navigation: Use the left side menu to return to other areas such as Home or Zaps when you finish editing.
• Top controls: Use buttons near the top to publish, turn the workflow on or off, or exit back to the dashboard.
• Step list: In the center area, review your trigger and action steps and expand each card for configuration.

The core building behavior is the same, but the environment is streamlined to reduce distractions while you are editing.

Step 3: Add or reorder steps in the updated builder

1. In the editor, scroll through the list of steps.
2. Click + where you want to add a new action or filter.
3. Select the app and event, then follow the configuration prompts.
4. Drag and drop step cards, if supported, to change the order of actions.

The new layout keeps these options visible as you scroll, so you can more clearly see how your trigger and actions connect.

How to use the new Zapier Zap history experience

The Zap history view has been redesigned to make it easier to understand what happened when a workflow ran and to locate specific runs.

Step 1: Access Zapier Zap history

1. From the main navigation, open the Zap history area.
2. Wait for the run list to load; it now appears with an updated layout.

Each entry in the run list includes key details such as status, time, and the name of the workflow that ran.

Step 2: Filter and search in Zapier Zap history

Use the controls in the redesigned history interface to narrow down results:

• Apply filters to view only successful, stopped, or errored runs.
• Adjust date ranges to focus on a specific period.
• Use search options, when available, to find runs for a specific workflow.

The filters are arranged to help you quickly answer questions like “Did this workflow run today?” or “Which runs failed this week?” without needing to leave the history page.

Step 3: Inspect individual Zap runs

1. Click on a specific run in the list to open the run details.
2. Review each step’s status inside the run detail view.
3. Look at the input and output data sections to understand what information passed through each step.

This more guided view helps you troubleshoot issues efficiently by following the path of a single run from trigger through all actions.

How to access help content and the Zapier resource center

The location and behavior of in-product help and the resource center on the site have been refined so guidance is easier to find while you work.

Step 1: Open the help menu in the interface

1. While signed in and viewing any main page, look toward the lower corner or edge of the screen for a help or question-mark icon.
2. Click the icon to open the help panel or resource center.

This panel offers curated links that align with the product areas you are currently using.

Step 2: Use Zapier help and resource center tools

Inside the panel, you may find:

• Links to relevant documentation for creating and managing workflows
• Short explanations related to the page you are on
• Options to explore additional resources, such as best-practice guides

Use these links to move directly from the product interface to a specific article that explains the feature you are using.

Step 3: Bookmark key help pages for later

1. When you open a help article in a new tab, review the steps provided there.
2. Bookmark frequently used topics so you can come back while building or troubleshooting.
3. Return to the product interface and test the instructions from the article in your own workflows.

This workflow—switching from building to reading documentation and back—takes advantage of the updated resource placement across the site.

Where to find official Zapier February 2024 details

Tips for adapting your workflows to the Zapier changes

After you become familiar with the new layouts and navigation, take time to update how you work so you can benefit from the improvements.

• Review critical workflows: Open your most important automations in the editor and confirm you recognize where each key control now lives.
• Update internal documentation: If your team uses internal guides with screenshots, plan to refresh them so they match the new interface.
• Train collaborators: Share a brief walkthrough with teammates so new users are not surprised by the updated builder or history views.
• Use history proactively: Make it a habit to check the new history interface when changing major workflows, so you can confirm everything runs as expected.

By following these steps and exploring each updated area, you can smoothly transition to the February 2024 interface and continue building and maintaining reliable automations.
