This embeds the _create_ inside the _search_ step to find or create items in one step of the Zap. ## Add a *create* action * Add a relevant *create* action to your integration. If your *search* action is looking for contacts, say, you would need a *Add New Contact* action to pair with it. Open your integration's *Actions* page in a new tab and add a new *create* action if your integration does not have an appropriate one already. ## Configure the *search* action * Back in your new *search* action's settings, check the *Pair an existing search and a create* box * Select the relevant action from the *Create Action* menu and add a new label that Zapier will show on this step if users choose to have the action create new items as well.

* When users use the search action in a Zap, Zapier will show your core *search* action settings that you set in the *Input Designer* by default. Then, if users click the checkbox to create an item if nothing is found, Zapier will load the *create* action's input fields inside the search action so users can fill both out.

* Configure the rest of your search action as normal, including the [Test API Request](/integrations/build/test-triggers-actions) and [Output](/integrations/build/sample-data) sections. *** *Need help?
