Zapify Templates: 32 Prebuilt WordPress Automations

Building an automation from scratch means choosing a trigger, wiring up actions, and mapping every field. Templates skip that: Zapify ships 32 prebuilt automations you can start from. Open Zapify → Templates, pick one, and Zapify creates a ready-to-edit draft on your site with its own new IDs — nothing runs until you have reviewed it and set it live. Templates are a free feature.

What is a Zapify template?

A template is a prebuilt automation — a trigger, its actions, and their configuration — that you can turn into a working automation in one step. Using a template creates a draft automation on your site with fresh IDs. Anything that needs a choice only you can make — which form, which course, which spreadsheet — is left blank, and Zapify prompts you to fill it in when you try to go live.

How to use a template

1. Open Zapify → Templates (or the Automations screen and switch to the templates view).
2. Browse or filter the gallery. Each card shows the integrations the template needs, with their marks.
3. Filter by category — CRM, Forms, Content, Courses, E-commerce, Users, Webhooks — or search titles and descriptions.
4. Click a template to create a draft automation from it.
5. Fill in any blanks Zapify flags (the specific form, course, or spreadsheet), then set the automation Live.

Integrations you have not installed are still shown, dimmed and labelled, because a template you cannot use yet is worth knowing about. A template that needs something you have not got is listed with Needs X, and its button is disabled until X is available.

What you get from a template

Using a template produces a draft automation complete with its triggers, actions, and configuration. It does not go live automatically — the draft state means you can read through every step, adjust it, and only then activate it. Fields that depend on your specific setup are left blank so you cannot accidentally point an action at the wrong record; Zapify names the missing pieces when you try to go live.

Some of what is included

The 32 templates span several categories. A sample:

• Getting started — welcome new users by email; email yourself when a post is published; keep a note of every new comment.
• E-commerce — thank a customer after they buy; note a refund on the order; post new WooCommerce orders to Slack; keep a sheet of every purchase.
• Forms — forward a Contact Form 7 entry; forward a Gravity Forms entry; log every Fluent Forms submission; send a WPForms entry to a webhook; collect Fluent Forms entries in a sheet.
• Courses — enrol a buyer in a LearnDash course; let people enrol themselves with a button; notify the team when someone finishes a course; follow up on a quiz result; welcome someone to a group.
• Content — file new posts under a category; thank someone when their comment goes live; keep a record of post edits; summarise a new post with AI.
• Users — welcome someone given a new role; announce new sign-ups in Slack; let a member request a callback.

Some of these (Slack, AI, Google Sheets, and LearnDash steps) rely on PRO integrations, so those templates need Zapify PRO to run even though the gallery is free to browse.

Save and share your own automations

In PRO, an automation can be exported to a JSON file and imported elsewhere — the same format templates use. Export strips IDs, counters, and timestamps, because they mean nothing on the destination site, and it drops the webhook key, because an export is a file people email to each other and a live webhook key does not belong in one.

Conclusion

Zapify's 32 templates are the fastest way to a working automation: open Zapify → Templates, pick one, and edit the draft it creates. Templates are free, though any template built on a PRO step needs a PRO licence to run.

FAQs

Are Zapify templates free?

Yes. Browsing and using the 32 templates is a free feature — using one creates a ready-to-edit draft automation on your site. The exception is a template built on a PRO step (for example a Slack, AI, Google Sheets, or LearnDash action): the template is still free to create, but it needs Zapify PRO to run. The gallery labels each template's required integrations.

How many templates does Zapify include?

Zapify ships 32 prebuilt automation templates, spanning categories such as Getting started, E-commerce, Forms, Courses, Content, and Users. You can filter the gallery by category or search titles and descriptions to find one that fits your workflow, then create a draft automation from it in one step.

Does using a template start running automations immediately?

No. Using a template creates a draft automation with its own new IDs — nothing happens until you review it and set it live. Fields that depend on your setup, like the specific form or course, are left blank so an action cannot point at the wrong record. Zapify prompts you to complete those blanks when you try to activate the automation.

Why is a template's button disabled?

The template needs an integration you have not installed or activated yet. Zapify shows such templates with a Needs X label and disables the create button until X is available. Integrations you do not have are still displayed, dimmed, so you can see what a template would require before installing it.

Where do I find the Templates screen?

Go to Zapify → Templates in the WordPress admin, or open the Automations screen and switch to the templates view. Both show the same gallery of 32 prebuilt automations, with cards indicating each template's required integrations and marks.
