Get started with the Workflow Element

​
Capabilities

The Workflow Element is the easiest and best way to bring automation to your users, with customizable features that allow your users to discover, use, create, and manage automations without ever leaving your product.

​
Discover

Take advantage of Zapier’s extensive and industry-leading app directory by embedding a customized version of Zapier’s App Directory. Users can search through thousands of available apps to pair with yours and see popular workflows at a glance. Our generator allows you to customize the number of apps that are displayed and allows you to exclude apps by name or by app category.

​
Use

Easily surface pre-built zap templates in your product for your users to use. You can surface the most popular zap templates for your app, or choose specific zap templates to showcase.

​
Create

When clicking on a template or app listing, a modal opens up within your site, prompting users to log in or sign up if they don’t have a Zapier account. Enable Quick Account Creation to make this even simpler for users. Once done, the Zap Editor will open on this same modal, and users can create Zaps.

​
Manage

Once users have created Zaps, they’re able to see them directly inside your product. They can view their Zaps and see their status at a glance without ever having to leave your product

How to Embed the Workflow Element

1

Add your domains

The Workflow Element uses iframes, which are blocked by default for security purposes. Provide us with a list of domains you intend to embed it in and we’ll permit these specific domains. Head to the Zapier Developer Platform, find your app and select settings to get started.

Customize your embed

Customize your embed
The preview shows what your embed looks like for a user logged in to Zapier. The Intro to Zapier is only shown to Zapier users who are not logged in. This is why if you toggle to show the Intro to Zapier, you will not see it appear in the preview, but your users who are not logged in to Zapier will see a short section explaining Zapier at the top of the embed.

Review our security practices

To ensure a consistent experience for your users and avoid common challenges, it’s worth reading over our Security Practices.
Consider augmenting with Quick Account Creation - it makes signing up to Zapier more seamless. Users are able to bypass signup and onboarding and and jump right into creating a Zap with your integration with the click of a button. Note, Quick Account Creation only works if your embed is behind a login wall.
We do not support iframes inside of iframes. If you try to embed the Workflow Element in an iframe, links will open in pop ups rather than in an iframe.
