## What it does

Zapier MCP provides access to thousands of individual actions, yet Claude resets its context between conversations and cannot trigger pre-configured Zapier routines on its own. This skill introduces a local memory layer using reference files such as `references/mcp-patterns.md` and `references/zaps.md`. Whenever you instruct Claude to prefer a specific spreadsheet or research tool, it updates those documents directly via file editing tools.

It also handles webhook-based automations by routing POST requests to your predefined Zapier endpoints. Because webhook URLs include secret authentication tokens directly in the URL string, saving them in local files means you must exclude `.claude/` from Git commits or install the skill globally under `~/.claude/skills/`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Zapier, Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill development/zapier-workflows
```

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill zapier-workflows -a claude-code
```

3. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/zapier-workflows/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/zapier-workflows/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/zapier-workflows/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/zapier-workflows/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install davila7/claude-code-templates zapier-workflows
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/zapier-workflows/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --path cli-tool/components/skills/development/zapier-workflows
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/zapier-workflows/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/skills/development/zapier-workflows

## When to use it
- trigger multi-step Zapier workflows through webhook POST requests
- persist MCP action choices across independent terminal sessions
- keep a persistent catalog of Zap endpoints and usage guidelines
- teach Claude new tool rules through conversation without manual file edits

## Example prompts
- Run my daily digest automation in Zapier
- Record new project expenses into Google Sheets instead of Notion
- Save this Zapier webhook URL to track inbound leads
