Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Are you a productivity enthusiast or a business professional looking to streamline your tasks with Zapier? If so, you've probably created Zaps that are intricate and involved, which lead you to a common question: 'How do I copy a Zap step in Zapier?' This is a particularly handy feature when you want to replicate previous steps within a new or existing Zap, saving time and maintaining consistency in your automations.


Copying a Zap step is a straightforward process that amplifies your efficiency. Let's break down the procedure:



  1. Select Your Zap: Log into your Zapier account and navigate to 'My Zaps.' Here you'll find all your current Zaps. Click on the Zap you wish to modify.



  2. Edit the Zap: Once inside the chosen Zap, next to each step, you'll find an options menu (typically represented by three dots or a gear icon). Click on this menu to reveal several options.



  3. Copy the Step: Look for an option that says 'Copy to...' - this feature allows you to duplicate the desired step. Once selected, you will be prompted to choose where to place the copied step, whether in the same Zap or into a different one.





  1. Adjust the Copied Step: After copying, you might need to make slight modifications to the step configurations to suit its new position. Remember to replace or reconfigure any fields, templates or customized data that are specific to the new setup.



  2. Test Your Zap: Always test your Zaps after making changes. This ensures your workflow runs smoothly, and the copied step is integrated correctly.



  3. Save Your Changes: Once everything is working correctly, don't forget to save your Zap. Now your automation is more potent than ever, with the newfound ease of duplicating steps.




Understanding how to copy a Zap step can vastly improve your experience with Zapier, allowing for more efficient Zap management and configuration. This knowledge ultimately equates to saved time, the most precious resource for businesses and individuals alike.


Remember; the ability to copy a step depends on the complexity of the Zap - some steps, especially ones with custom code or unique API calls, may require more in-depth tweaking to clone successfully. But with this guide, even the most intricate Zaps can be managed with ease.
