Scenarios

Non-Conformance to CAPA Closure

Quality Finding → Zapier Form → Quality Record → Risk Classification → CAPA Creation → Human Approval → Corrective Action → Evidence → Effectiveness Review → Closure

Participants automate a non-conformance lifecycle while retaining quality-professional control over severity classification, root-cause acceptance, CAPA approval, effectiveness verification, and final closure.

Audit Findings to Management Quality Review

Audit Findings → Zapier Tables → Action Assignment → Scheduled Follow-Up → Overdue Detection → Escalation → Evidence Collection → Quality Dashboard / Review

Participants build a recurring audit-follow-up workflow that tracks corrective actions, highlights overdue findings, captures evidence, and prepares structured information for management quality review.

## Current Capability Reference

Zapier currently supports **Filters and Paths** for conditional workflow logic, while **Human in the Loop** can pause a Zap for human review, additional information, or approval before execution continues. ([Zapier Help][1])

**Zapier Forms** can collect quality information and trigger workflows, while **Zapier Tables** provides automation-oriented record storage that can start workflows when records are created or updated. ([Zapier Help][2])

**AI by Zapier** now supports AI-powered steps with tools and agentic workflows; Zapier notes that this is where capabilities previously associated with standalone Zapier Agents now run. ([Zapier Help][3])

**Zapier Functions was retired for most accounts on September 1, 2026.** Current curricula should use **Code by Zapier** rather than designing new workflows around Functions. ([Zapier Help][4])
