HEARD: The Zapier audit that cuts task spend 30% in an afternoon.

HEARD: The Zapier audit that cuts task spend 30% in an afternoon.
A source running ops at a 40-seat shop walked us through their quarterly cleanup. It's boring and it works.
— Sort all Zaps by task usage, descending — the top 10 eat 80% of your bill
— Kill any Zap with a trigger fired but zero meaningful filter pass-through
— Replace multi-step lookups with a single Formatter step where you can
— Move high-volume triggers off polling onto instant webhooks
— Tag every Zap with an owner; orphaned Zaps are where spend hides
The biggest leak they found: a 'sync' Zap running every 15 minutes that nobody had owned since 2024. Watch this.
