Key Takeaway
Zapier Agents features are now guided into the AI by Zapier step in the Zap editor. Instructions map to the prompt, tools to tool selection, and start conditions to the Zap trigger. Do not treat it as a rename.
Where do the old settings land on the new screen?
Based on the official guide of October 6, the mapping is as follows.
| Old Zapier Agents | AI by Zapier side |
|---|---|
| Instructions | The step's prompt |
| Tools used | Tool selection inside the step |
| Schedule or app event | Zap trigger |
| Calling another agent | Compare with a child Zap's Sub-Zap trigger |
What do you check for records and approvals?
View run records in Zap History, and check per-tool human approval as well. Rather than allowing every app you had connected, keep only the actions this task needs. Besides normal runs, use test data to confirm that the run actually stops when you reject an approval.
Can you replace the old setup right away?
Do not switch right away. Prepare one sample input, the expected output, and an input that should fail, and compare them against the new setup. Match it not only against the mapping table in the guide but also against what your automation actually does. Leave model selection and task billing as items to check before the transition.
