# Zapier trigger

> Start a Cassidy Workflow from any Zapier-connected app event.

The Zapier trigger lets you run a Cassidy [Workflow](/workflows/overview) from a Zapier Zap. Use it to connect Cassidy with any of the 5,000+ apps Zapier supports — for example, starting a Workflow when a new form response comes in or when a CRM record is updated.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a Zapier trigger">
    Create a new [Workflow](/workflows/building) with a **Zapier Trigger**, or change an existing Workflow's trigger type to **Zapier Trigger**.

  <Step title="Create a Zap">
    In Zapier, create a new Zap. Choose a trigger event for your Zap (for example, "New Form Response in Google Forms"). Then for the action step, select **Run Workflow in Cassidy**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map the input fields">
    In the Zapier action step, map the input fields of your Cassidy Zapier Trigger to the corresponding data from your Zap trigger event.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish and activate the Zap">
    Click **Publish** to save and activate your Zap. Make sure it's turned on so it triggers your Cassidy Workflow when the specified event occurs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the rest of your Workflow">
    Back in Cassidy, use the inputs from Zapier in the rest of your Workflow. The Workflow automatically runs when triggered by the Zap.
  </Step>
