Zapier Actions Tool

ZapierActionsAdapter

Description

Use the Zapier adapter to list and call Zapier actions as CrewAI tools. This enables agents to trigger automations across thousands of apps.

Installation

This adapter is included with crewai-tools. No extra install required.

Environment Variables

  • ZAPIER_API_KEY (required): Zapier API key. Get one from the Zapier Actions dashboard at https://actions.zapier.com/ (create an account, then generate an API key). You can also pass zapier_api_key directly when constructing the adapter.

Example

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools.adapters.zapier_adapter import ZapierActionsAdapter

adapter = ZapierActionsAdapter(api_key="your_zapier_api_key")
tools = adapter.tools()

agent = Agent(
    role="Automator",
    goal="Execute Zapier actions",
    backstory="Automation specialist",
    tools=tools,
    verbose=True,
)

task = Task(
    description="Create a new Google Sheet and add a row using Zapier actions",
    expected_output="Confirmation with created resource IDs",
    agent=agent,
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()

Notes & limits

  • The adapter lists available actions for your key and creates BaseTool wrappers dynamically.
  • Handle action‑specific required fields in your task instructions or tool call.
  • Rate limits depend on your Zapier plan; see the Zapier Actions docs.

Notes
