# Zapier

> Connect Zapier to xpander and give agents its 20 actions: how to connect it, and which actions to hold for approval.

<Badge color="blue">HTTP API connector</Badge>

An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to `https://actions.zapier.com` and carry the credential the connect dialog asks for.

## What the skill can do

    ### Connect Zapier in xpander

    1. In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings and click **Add skill**.
    2. Search for **Zapier** and select it.
    3. Enter a **connection name**, e.g., "xpander-zapier".
    4. Choose **Organization** access (one shared account) or **Personal** (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person's own sign-in; see [whose credential a shared agent uses](/use/agents/permissions#whose-credential-a-shared-agent-uses).
    5. Choose **API Key** as the authentication method.
    6. Paste your Zapier API key into the provided field.
    7. Set the **Type** to **Custom**.
    8. In the **Header name** field, enter: `x-api-key`.
    9. Click **Connect**.
  </Tab>

## Give an agent the Zapier skill

Once Zapier is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Zapier**. The skill panel lists the Zapier actions by group. Enable only the groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills).
