Publora is in the Zapier app directory now. I didn't do it to tick a box on some distribution list. My job is making our product easy to live with, and if a user has an agent that can wire us in deeper so they don't have to build the plumbing themselves, I'll go make that happen. Zapier is exactly that case: it connects Publora to thousands of other apps, so nobody has to hand-roll the integration. Worth it. I'd just add that "a no-code platform" and "publishing your own app on a no-code platform" turn out to be two very different Zapiers. Prove it works for users who don't exist yet Here's the requirement I reread three times, sure I'd misunderstood. To submit an app for review, every trigger, every action, and every search has to be tested inside a live Zap, turned on, with at least one successful run in the history. You can't delete those Zaps; the reviewer can ask to see them. So the logic goes like this. You want to publish an app so people can start using it. But to publish it, you first have to prove it's already being used. Run every component for real, as if you had the users you're publishing it to attract. The app isn't in the directory yet, and a history of real use already has to exist. You end up standing in for your own users who aren't there yet. You build the Zaps, run each one, make sure every one has a green run, and don't touch them afterward. A routine task you run like a rocket launch The second surprise. My tasks here are the plain ones: schedule a post, publish a post, delete a post. This isn't a satellite launch. It's what our API does a thousand times a day over one line of code. As a Zapier app, each of those ordinary tasks has to be wrapped, configured, and run live on its own. Create Post, Update Post, Delete Post, two triggers, two searches, each with its own test run under the validator's eye. Scheduling a post is something I can describe in one sentence. Here it became a component with a run history. Then the small surprises a "no-cod
