Change ownership of shared Zaps

You can change ownership of a shared Zap to another user, as long as they are also a member of the same Team or Enterprise account.

Note

Zapier is rolling out a new way of viewing and managing all assets in your account. It is being rolled out to users in stages through the end of 2025. If you do not see the new design, your account has not been migrated to the new experience yet. You can continue to refer to this guide for changing Zap ownership settings.

Limitations

Permissions

• You can only assign a single owner to a Zap at a time.
• The owner of the Zap, as well as account admins, super admins, and the owner can change ownership of a shared Zap. Learn more about managing your Team or Enterprise account roles and permissions.
• Zaps with Catch Hook and Catch Raw Hook triggers use a unique URL to receive webhooks. The URL will change when the Zap is transferred to another user. This is because the URL contains the owner's Zapier ID. To ensure the Zap continues receiving webhook requests, you must update the URL in the app where it's used. Otherwise, the Zap won’t trigger.
• After transferring ownership of a Zap, the new owner will automatically gain access to the shared folder and any shared app connections used in the Zap.
  • Private app connections used in the Zap are not shared.

Private folders

• You cannot share a Zap in a personal folder.
  • You must move the Zap into a shared folder before you can share it.
  • Super admins and account owners can move Zaps from private folders into shared folders.

Zap history

• Transferring ownership of a Zap does not impact the Zap's history or held Zap runs.
  • Any user who has permission to view the Zap can still review them.

Webhooks by Zapier

Zaps that use the Webhooks by Zapier Catch Hook and Catch Raw Hook triggers use a unique URL to receive webhooks. The URL only changes if the Zap is transferred to another user. This is because the URL contains the owner's Zapier ID. 

To ensure that the Zap continues receiving webhook requests if a Zap is transferred to a new owner, you must update the URL in the app where it's used. Otherwise, the Zap will not trigger.

Email by Zapier

When you transfer ownership of a Zap containing the Email by Zapier New Inbound Email trigger, the email address used for the trigger will change automatically to create the new owner's email address. To ensure the Zap continues to work, update any external systems that send emails to the Zap. Otherwise, the Zap will not trigger.
