Plan ahead: Retries can create duplicate actions, so track each event and check whether it already ran before trying again.

A prompt to build your own version of Zapier

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Zapier-style app, first version

Build a web app for people who want to automate tasks between their apps. The main screen should show saved workflows with their trigger, action, and latest test result. Let me create or edit a workflow by choosing a sample trigger and action, then mapping fields between them. Use a new spreadsheet row and sending an email as the first sample connection. Add a Test workflow button that simulates a run and shows the data passed between steps. Include a run history with clear success and error details. Use a clean white layout with blue accents. Include realistic sample data and clearly label all connections and runs as simulated.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
