Import your existing zaps, keep all your logic, and add AI agents to every step. No rebuilding. No migration scripts. Just upload and go.
From your Zapier dashboard, go to My Zaps, click the three-dot menu on each zap, and select Export. You'll get JSON files containing your zap definitions — triggers, actions, filters, and mappings.
Works for all Zapier plans including Free.
Navigate to Spirals → Import in your Helix dashboard. Upload your Zapier export files. Helix parses the zap structure and proposes a spiral equivalent — triggers become spiral triggers, actions become steps.
Helix preserves your existing logic and suggests agent-powered improvements.
The import gives you a working spiral that mirrors your original zap. But here's where it gets better: Helix agents will suggest enhancements. Add an agent review step before sensitive actions. Add pattern detection. Add adaptive error handling.
This step is optional — your spiral works immediately without enhancements.
Run your imported spiral and watch the UCF dashboard. You'll immediately see harmony, friction, throughput, and other metrics that Zapier never showed you. Use these to identify bottlenecks and optimize.
Every run generates coordination data you can learn from.
Enable scheduling, webhooks, or triggers. Your spiral now runs with agent-powered adaptive error handling — when something fails, an agent diagnoses and retries instead of the workflow just stopping.
Set budget caps to control LLM spend per execution.
| Feature | Zapier | After Helix import |
|---|---|---|
| Import existing workflows | Manual rebuild | One-click import |
| AI agents at each step | Single AI Action (extra cost) | 24 agents included |
| Error recovery | Stops on failure | Agent auto-retries |
| Cost visibility | Task-based billing | Per-execution LLM tracking |
| Coordination metrics | Not available | 6 UCF dimensions |
| Persistent memory | Not available | Cross-run agent memory |
No. The import preserves your triggers, actions, filters, and field mappings. Your workflow logic is intact. You can enhance it with agents afterward, but the base functionality works immediately.
No. Helix supports the same integrations your zaps use — GitHub, Slack, Gmail, Stripe, Discord, and 120+ more. Reconnect your accounts in the Integrations hub and your imported spirals will use them.
Zapier execution history stays in Zapier. Helix starts fresh with its own execution tracking and UCF metrics. If you need historical data, export it from Zapier before canceling.
Yes. Many teams run both during migration — Zapier for legacy workflows, Helix for new or migrated ones. This lets you validate Helix spirals before decommissioning Zapier.
The import will flag any zap steps that don't have a direct Helix equivalent. You can either simplify those steps or use Helix's API integration to handle custom logic.
