Element types in Zapier Canvas

In Zapier Canvas, you can add steps and elements that correspond to a part of your process that requires action from a person, team, or app. Using different elements ensures you capture the various aspects of your processes on your canvas. Learn how to create a canvas.

Default steps

Use a Default step for actions that depend on a person or team to be completed. You can also add Zapier products, third-party apps, or a Zap to your step.

Split path

Split paths allow you to add decision points that lead to different scenarios, depending on the contents or results of the previous step. The Split path is represented by a question mark within a diamond shape. You can add several paths to one split path.

 Zapier Assets

From the toolbar, you can also create steps that have a Zapier product pre-selected, such as Zaps, Tables, or Chatbots. You can select from an existing asset or create a new one.

Text boxes

You can add boxes with text anywhere on your canvas with the Text tool that appears in the toolbar. When you add a text box, you can use the formatting toolbar to:

• Change the font size and color.
• Change the formatting style.
• Add links to text.
• Add bulleted, numbered, or task lists.
• Change the background color.

Tip

You can also add images to text boxes by dragging and dropping them from your computer or from a webpage.
