Can I check if a specific Zap failed recently through the agent?

Yes. The `get_zap_history` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the job history for any specific Zap ID, showing you which runs succeeded and which encountered task failures so you can monitor health through chat.

How do I find out which third-party apps are connected to my account?

You can use the `list_connected_apps` tool. It will return all applications currently authenticated in your Zapier account, such as Slack, Google Sheets, or Gmail, so you can see what is available for automation.

Is it possible to search for workflow ideas via conversation?

Absolutely. Use the `search_zap_templates` tool and provide a query string. Your agent will search the Zapier directory and return pre-made template ideas to help you build new automated flows quickly.
