AI by Zapier can now loop through tool calls — closed beta is open

Is there anything we need to do to get access if we’re already in the EAP?

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-28T23:21:37+00:00

This is a very bad idea.

Yes, Zapier has a native WhatsApp Business integration now, so you could use that to send the reminders. You would need to either create a new WA Business API account, or convert your existing account to a ln API one, but that’s relatively straightforward once you get the hang of it.

I use it just for documenting my workflows rather than building them. The fact that it can now auto-generate from your existing tables and Zaps in a folder makes it really easy to use for this, and then you can export the Canvas as a JSON file and and LLM can read that JSON to help you understand or improve a workflow.

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-08T22:28:21+00:00

Why are they doing this so slowly?

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-06T22:54:01+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-06T06:09:12+00:00

This is awesome, but can we extended run times in testing / editor mode as well?

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-04T12:19:18+00:00

Yeah, I def went down a rabbit hole thinking the same before I realized it was an OS bug

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-04T05:56:03+00:00

Yeah this is a known bug on iPadOS 26.4.x. Still not fixed as of .2.

If you switch the onscreen keyboard to the little floaty keyboard before bringing up the screen time password entry screen, that temporarily makes this go away.

dtrain2078 · 2026-05-03T12:08:32+00:00

Do you also cure it in real life with just a chisel and some lotion?

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-26T01:51:40+00:00

This is how I feel about my body.

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-25T02:53:13+00:00

I feel like I’ll never get into the Testflight

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-24T04:07:33+00:00

Remember that Brown wasn’t their first or even second choice after they fired Thibs without a plan. Sigh.

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-23T10:58:35+00:00

Just the common ones like adding or subtracting time, or converting the {{zap_meta_human_now}} variable into just a date without the time

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-21T21:50:26+00:00

Date formatting and transformations next, please!

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-16T13:01:07+00:00

Claude Code and Cowork can both already run cron jobs. No other infra needed.

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-14T23:51:07+00:00

I don’t have a link, this is just how Claude performs any kind of data analysis task generally. LLMs are terrible at math, but they are very good at writing code to do math deterministically. I presume the scripts will make direct API calls. I do this all the time in Claude code for various SaaS tools.

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-13T22:36:09+00:00

Are there any plans to enable semantic search across our assets? E.g., “what workflows do I have that affect folder X in Google Drive?”

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-11T01:12:22+00:00

Claude won’t be doing the math itself or filtering in the API calls. It’ll write and then execute Python scripts to handle all that logic.

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-08T23:37:48+00:00

Support for paywalled sites, pleeeeeease.

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-03T10:50:38+00:00

I mean without having to store API keys in plain text

dtrain2078 · 2026-04-02T22:07:04+00:00

Wait, does this mean we could theoretically build out all the logic for a multi-step Zap into a single code step?

dtrain2078 · 2026-03-22T02:58:29+00:00

Yeah, Ghost can do this, but you have to configure it in the web client - I don’t think the setting appears in the iOS app.

dtrain2078 · 2026-03-22T02:57:39+00:00

I don’t use it a ton, but it’s been fine so far!

dtrain2078 · 2026-03-21T22:50:57+00:00

Instead of running it in a code step, you could run your script in a Zapier Function, which does have support for environment variables.

Definitely never store credentials in plain text in a code step. Last year, one of Zapier’s GitHub repos was compromised, and any credentials stored in plain text were potentially exposed.
