Code Step (Zapier)

also Code by Zapier

A Zapier action that runs custom JavaScript or Python to transform data or perform logic that built-in steps can't.

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.
