I spent the last year+ building this alongside @justindeal, @smbriones, and github/stevemolitor and we're very happy to see this finally ship today.
Before, Zapier was only 1-to-1 integrations which limited it's power. Multi-Step Zaps open up a huge array of more useful Zaps like...
- looking up data inside other apps to use in the workflow
- if an item isn't found when looking it up, create it
- transforming that data inside of Zapier (like dates, string manipulation)
- executing custom javascript code in between steps (can do manipulation, API calls, etc.)
This is the biggest change to the product since we launched the company back in 2011.
Interested in the build process? Here's a look at how it came together: http://blog.invisionapp.com/rede...
I'm excited to answer questions. Especially ones about the build process (like how we ran a 3 month beta). I'll be watching this thread throughout the day!
