This page documents all available commands in the Zapier SDK CLI.

Installation


Global Options

These options are available for all commands: Boolean flags are presence toggles and take no value: pass --flag to enable it, or omit the flag to use the default. Flags where disabling differs from omitting document a separate disable flag (e.g. --disabled). A value after a boolean flag (--flag false) is rejected as an extra argument.

Accounts

get-profile

Get current user’s profile information Usage:

login

Log in to Zapier to access your account Options: Usage:

logout

Log out of your Zapier account Usage:

signup

Set up Zapier account access and SDK credentials Options: Usage:

Actions

create-action-run

Start an action run and return its ID without waiting for the result. Running an action is asynchronous: this hands back a run ID immediately, and getActionRun fetches the outcome. Reach for this pair when you want to start work and collect it later (fan out many runs, hand the ID to another process, survive a restart). runAction is the one-call form that starts a run and waits for its result. Options: Usage:

get-action

Get detailed information about a specific action Options: Usage:

get-action-input-fields-schema

Get the JSON Schema representation of input fields for an action. Returns a JSON Schema object describing the structure, types, and validation rules for the action’s input parameters. Options: Usage:

get-action-run

Fetch the current state of an action run started by createActionRun. This is a point-in-time read that returns immediately: a run Zapier has not finished executing comes back with status waiting, so call again to check for a result. runAction starts a run and waits for its result in one call. Results are stored for seven days after the run was created. Options: Usage:

list-action-input-field-choices

Get the available choices for a dynamic dropdown input field Options: Usage:

list-action-input-fields

Get the input fields required for a specific action Options: Usage:

list-actions

List all actions for a specific app Options: Usage:

run-action

Execute an action with the given inputs Options: Usage:

Apps

get-app

Get detailed information about a specific app Options: Usage:

list-apps

List all available apps with optional filtering Options: Usage:

Client Credentials

create-client-credentials

Create new client credentials for the authenticated user Options: Usage:

delete-client-credentials

Delete client credentials by client ID Options: Usage:

list-client-credentials

List client credentials for the authenticated user Options: Usage:

Connections

create-connection

Create a new app connection, end-to-end. Mints the start URL via get-connection-start-url, prints it to stderr, opportunistically opens it in a browser when it looks safe to do so (skipping CI / SSH / headless-Linux by default — pass --browser always to force, --browser never to suppress), then polls via wait-for-new-connection until the user completes OAuth and the new connection appears. Returns the connection. This is the right command for most callers. Reach for the lower-level building blocks when you want either of: (a) hand off the URL and not block on completion — call get-connection-start-url alone, no wait-for-new-connection needed, or (b) do something custom between minting the URL and waiting — call get-connection-start-url, do your work (email or DM the URL, render a QR code, etc.), then wait-for-new-connection. Options: Usage:

find-first-connection

Find the first connection matching the criteria Options: Usage:

find-unique-connection

Find a unique connection matching the criteria Options: Usage:

get-connection

Get details for a specific connection Options: Usage:

get-connection-start-url

Mint a short-lived URL that begins an SDK-initiated connection flow. The URL is signed by zapier.com and bound to the current user/account — opening it in a different browser session will fail the binding check. Returns the URL as data so the caller decides what to do with it. Use this directly (rather than the higher-level create-connection) when you want either of: (a) hand off the URL and not block waiting for completion — call this alone, skip wait-for-new-connection entirely, or (b) do something custom between minting the URL and waiting for the connection — call this, then email or DM the URL, render it as a QR code for mobile sign-in, etc., then call wait-for-new-connection. For the common case where you’d just print and poll back-to-back, create-connection is one call. Pair with wait-for-new-connection to detect completion: pass the startedAt returned here straight through (it’s the server’s mint time, so polling isn’t affected by client clock skew). Example (JS):
Options: Usage:

list-connections

List available connections with optional filtering Options: Usage:

wait-for-new-connection

Wait for a new connection to appear for the given app. Polls /api/v0/connections with server-side ordering=-date until the most recent matching row’s date is at or after the started-at timestamp, then returns it. Pair with get-connection-start-url — that mints the URL the user opens, this waits for the resulting connection to land. Errors with a timeout after the configured timeout (default 5 min). Example (JS):
Options: Usage:

HTTP Requests

curl

Make authenticated HTTP requests to any API through Zapier. Pass a connection ID to automatically inject the user’s stored credentials (OAuth tokens, API keys, etc.) into the outgoing request. Use it in place of the native curl command with additional Zapier-specific options. Options: Usage:

list-tables

List tables available to the authenticated user Options: Usage:

update-table-records

Triggers

ack-trigger-inbox-messages

Acknowledge messages from a lease. Acked messages are removed from the inbox; unacked ones return to the available pool when the lease expires. Options: Usage:

create-trigger-inbox

Create a new trigger inbox subscription. Always creates a new inbox; use ensureTriggerInbox for get-or-create on a stable key. Options: Usage:

delete-trigger-inbox

Mark a trigger inbox for deletion Options: Usage:

drain-trigger-inbox

Drain an existing trigger inbox: lease currently-available messages and process them via onMessage. Returns when the inbox is empty, maxMessages is reached, the abort signal fires, or a fatal error rejects. Options: Usage:

ensure-trigger-inbox

Get-or-create a trigger inbox by key. Idempotent on (user, account, key): returns the existing inbox if a matching subscription is registered, creates a new one otherwise. Throws ZapierConflictError if the key exists with a different subscription. Options: Usage:

get-trigger-inbox

Get details of a trigger inbox by ID Options: Usage:

get-trigger-input-fields-schema

Get the JSON Schema representation of input fields for a trigger. Returns a JSON Schema object describing the structure, types, and validation rules for the trigger’s input parameters. Options: Usage:

lease-trigger-inbox-messages

Lease up to N messages from a trigger inbox. Returns messages plus a lease ID; ack within the lease window to remove from the inbox. Options: Usage:

list-trigger-inbox-messages

List messages in a trigger inbox (no payload, status-only) Options: Usage:

list-trigger-inboxes

List all trigger inboxes for the authenticated user Options: Usage:

list-trigger-input-field-choices

list-trigger-input-fields

Get the input fields required for a specific trigger Options: Usage:

list-triggers

List all triggers for a specific app Options: Usage:

pause-trigger-inbox

Pause a trigger inbox; events stop being collected Options: Usage:

release-trigger-inbox-messages

Release messages from a lease back to the inbox without acknowledging them. Released messages become immediately available for re-leasing. The lease attempt still counts against the per-message lease limit; releasing does not refund the attempt. Options: Usage:

resume-trigger-inbox

Resume a paused trigger inbox; events resume being collected Options: Usage:

update-trigger-inbox

Update settings on an existing trigger inbox Options: Usage:

watch-trigger-inbox

Continuously consume a trigger inbox: drain currently-available messages, then subscribe to SSE notifications for new arrivals, until aborted. Stop via the signal AbortSignal or by throwing ZapierAbortDrainSignal from a handler. Transient drain failures (5xx, 429, network blips) retry indefinitely with bounded backoff; real-time wake-up and drain health warnings print to stderr. Resolves cleanly on abort; rejects on a fatal error or a fail-fast handler error. stdout (including —json NDJSON) is unaffected. Options: Usage:

Code Workflows (Experimental)

ℹ️ Experimental. Run commands via the zapier-sdk-experimental binary, pass --experimental to zapier-sdk, or set ZAPIER_EXPERIMENTAL=true in the environment. Flags and behavior may change between versions.

cancel-durable-run

Cancel a run-once durable run in initialized or started status. Returns 409 if the run is already terminal. Options: Usage:

create-workflow

Create a durable workflow container. Starts disabled with no version; publish a version to add code. Options: Usage:

create-workflow-draft

Fork a new draft from the workflow’s current live version (or a blank stub before the first publish) Options: Usage:

delete-workflow

Delete a durable workflow. Throws ZapierNotFoundError if the workflow doesn’t exist; callers wanting idempotency should catch that themselves. Options: Usage:

disable-workflow

Disable a durable workflow so it stops accepting triggers Options: Usage:

discard-workflow-draft

Discard an open workflow draft (soft delete). The draft’s unpublished edits stop resolving; the published version is untouched. Options: Usage:

enable-workflow

Enable a durable workflow so it accepts triggers Options: Usage:

get-durable-run

Get the full state of a run-once durable run, including its operations journal Options: Usage:

get-trigger-run

Get the workflow run associated with a deployed workflow’s trigger. Useful immediately after firing a trigger, when you have the trigger ID but not yet the run ID. Options: Usage:

get-workflow

Get a durable workflow with its current version details and trigger claim status Options: Usage:

get-workflow-draft

Get full details of a workflow draft including source files Options: Usage:

publish-workflow-version

Publish a new version of a durable workflow. Enables the workflow by default. Options: Usage:

run-durable

Run a workflow source file as a run-once durable run on code-substrate-runner (no deployed workflow required). Returns the run ID immediately; poll via getDurableRun for terminal status. Options: Usage:
