Overview
The Directus Zapier integration provides two main components for workflow automation:
Directus Actions enable you to perform operations on your Directus data including creating, reading, updating, and deleting items across collections, managing users and invitations, and handling file uploads and imports. Actions support both simple form-based operations and advanced raw JSON operations with full access to Directus's native filter syntax, logical operators (_and, _or), relational queries, aggregation, and query parameters.
Directus Triggers automatically start Zaps when events occur in your Directus instance. Set up triggers for item creation, updates, and deletion across any collection, user management events, and file uploads. Triggers use webhooks that are automatically created and managed in your Directus instance, enabling real-time automation and event-driven workflows.
