12 Commits • 2 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025 highlights: Implemented core CLI and schema workflow enhancements to accelerate development cycles and strengthen release reliability for the Zapier Platform. Key features include Push CLI enhancements with snapshot-based versioning for development/testing and robust, label-based versioning with length validation, accompanied by documentation and examples. Also delivered significant schema/versioning work with coordinated bumps across CLI/core/schema, improved documentation for viewing different schema versions, and clearer upgrade messaging. Built reliability improvements moved version validation into the build process and aligned version data to package.json to prevent esm/app command issues. Strengthened documentation across the project and improved error messaging to aid developers during upgrades. Overall, these changes enable faster iteration, safer previews, and more predictable releases across platform versions.

May 1, 2025For May 2025, the Zapier Platform team delivered key developer-centric improvements in zapier-platform. Key features delivered include: 1) Deployment Status Mapping Simplification: Removed the deploymentToLifecycleState function; state now uses v.lifecycle.status directly for mapping deployment statuses, reducing code complexity and maintenance burden. Commit: 52bcb1d3310432c0272766a4d95ef57a6495df1b ("remove deployments"). 2) Windows Path Support for ESM Imports: Enhanced local development to support Windows paths for ESM imports; ensures the CLI resolves and imports modules correctly on Windows. Commit: acc3aa3691e629f829876d92bbc514428dcdc12e ("Path support for windows"). 3) Zapier CLI Deprecation Reason Requirement: Introduced a --reason flag and user prompt for deprecation; improves clarity, traceability of deprecation events, and updates documentation. Commit: fce6680a093477520c10661d5dcbee741312205b ("Prompt user for deprecation reason during deprecate").
