Code Step (Zapier)

In plain English

A Code step lets you add a short piece of JavaScript or Python to a Zap when the built-in steps can't do what you need.

Analogy

Like a custom power tool you reach for when the standard kit won't do the job.

Why it matters

Code steps unlock data transformations and custom logic when no off-the-shelf Zapier action fits.

In practice

A JavaScript Code step that parses a raw string into structured fields before the next action.
