Tips:

Use Zapier Copilot (the chat box at the top of a new Zap) to build automations in plain language instead of configuring each step by hand — describe the whole workflow in one sentence and it sets up the trigger and actions for you. Be specific: name the apps, the trigger and each action.
Copilot drafts, you confirm — review each step before switching the Zap on; the free plan (~100 tasks/month) is enough to test.

Good prompts:

“When a new row is added to my Google Sheet of workshop sign-ups, send the person a confirmation email in Gmail and post their name in our project Slack channel.”
“When I receive a Gmail labelled ‘invoice’, save the attachment to Google Drive and add a row to my expenses spreadsheet.”
