Define the trigger
Choose the supported polling or event behavior and provide stable identifiers for source records.
- Receives
- Application event or polling result
- Produces
- Recognizable trigger record
Zapier integration.
Connect recurring operational tasks through clear triggers, searches and actions.
Let’s connectTriggers and actions with stable record identity
Define what counts as a new event and what the action should do when the destination record already exists.
Resolve the target
Search using an agreed business key before selecting a create or update action.
- Receives
- Trigger context and matching rule
- Produces
- Target record decision
Maintain the integration
Test authentication, required fields and behavior when the app or source schema changes.
- Receives
- Action result and app version
- Produces
- Maintained workflow contract
Step 1 of 3
Inspect the data contract.
Select a field to examine its owner, permitted changes and conflict handling. Clear ownership keeps updates consistent across systems.
| Field or object | Accountable owner | Mapping and control |
|---|---|---|
| Source application | Stable across repeated polling of the same record. | |
| Business owner | Defines when an action updates rather than creates. | |
| Integration maintainer | Tracks changes to fields and behavior. |
Resolve the important decisions.
Trigger semantics
Polling and instant triggers have different latency and delivery behavior. Choose from the operational requirement.
Search confidence
A search result is useful only when the matching rule is appropriate for the business identity.
Validate before handover.

Test an example workflowPlatform documentation
A connection with a clear purpose.
Supported app integrations or a custom integration built with the visual builder or CLI.
We begin by identifying the business process this connection supports. Source ownership, permissions and the expected update behavior are documented before data starts moving.
The data behind the workflow.
TriggersActionsSearchesConnectionsApp versions
Object and field availability depend on the platform edition, API permissions and the agreed use case. Mapping defines which system owns each value and how changes are reconciled.
Decisions worth making early.
Scope & access
Check trigger behavior, record identifiers and the implications of repeated events.
Data & behavior
Test authentication and field changes before deploying a new integration version.
From mapping to a maintainable connection.
Discover the workflow
Agree the trigger, source of truth, receiving system and the person accountable for exceptions.
Validate the contract
Confirm permissions, object mappings, identifiers, consent and API behavior using a representative test environment.
Test real scenarios
Exercise expected updates, duplicates, missing data, access failures and vendor rate limits.
Document and enable
Hand over field mappings, credentials ownership, monitoring guidance and recovery procedures.
The engineering detail.
Read the contracts, controls and failure behavior behind a maintainable implementation.
