Zapier creates an automated workflow between apps with Triggers and Actions.
Trigger
A Trigger is an event in an app that starts the Zap. Once you set up a Zap, Zapier will monitor the app for that event. For the "Save new Slack messages from #general channel to Miro card widget" example, you can receive a lot of messages in Slack, but the Zap is not triggered until a message pops up in the #general channel.
Action
An Action is an event that completes the Zap. For the Slack to Miro card widget Zap example, the action is saving the message to Miro.
⚠️ Now Miro works only as an Action in Zapier. You can do three Actions there: Copy board, Create board, Create card widget. To create a Zap you need to click Make a Zap! button on the right-top corner of the Zapier page interface, and you will be directed to Zap Editor.
