Task (Zapier)
In Zapier, a task is one action a Zap successfully completes, and it is the unit Zapier bills against your plan.
Analogy
Like a metered phone call: every connected action ticks the counter.
Why it matters
Tasks drive Zapier's cost, so designing Zaps to minimize unnecessary actions keeps your plan affordable.
In practice
A Zap that creates 3 records per run uses 3 tasks each time it fires.
