How to migrate from Zapier to Samsarix Spirals

Why migrate?

Zapier already offers workflow history, error-handling tools, AI features, Copilot, and Agents. A migration should therefore start with a concrete need—not the claim that the source platform has none of those capabilities.

Samsarix is a fit to evaluate when you want its explicit 24-agent roster and handoffs, six UCF coordination signals, model-spend controls, or user-controlled cross-run context. Keep any Zap that does not gain enough from those differences to justify a careful cutover.

Step 1: Export your Zapier zaps

Zapier provides two relevant official export paths:

1. Team and Enterprise owners can download Zap workflow JSON using Zapier's dedicated workflow import/export feature.
2. Other account owners can request an account-data export and locate Zapfile.json in the downloaded archive.

Keep the original export as a rollback and review artifact. It does not include live app credentials and it does not guarantee that every Zapier app, action, filter, or path has a Samsarix equivalent.

Step 2: Import into Samsarix

Treat the import as a proposed mapping:

1. Navigate to Spirals > Import in your dashboard
2. Upload a compatible official JSON export
3. Review every proposed trigger, action, filter, path, and field mapping
4. Reconnect credentials and replace or redesign unsupported steps

Step 3: Add agent intelligence

Only add agent steps when they have a defined role and acceptance check. A Samsarix spiral can:

• Add agent review steps — Have Kael review sensitive outputs for quality
• Add pattern detection — Have Echo analyze execution history to suggest optimizations
• Add explicit failure handling — Choose a bounded retry, reschedule, or escalation policy

Step 4: Monitor with UCF metrics

Once your spiral is running, watch the UCF dashboard:

• Is friction spiking at a particular step? That integration might need configuration.
• Is harmony dropping? Two agents might be making conflicting decisions.
• Is throughput declining? An external service might be throttling.

Step 5: Test and cut over

Run the proposed Spiral with bounded, non-production sample data while the source Zap remains authoritative. Compare outputs, costs, retries, and UCF signals, then use a staged cutover for one workflow at a time.

Both platforms support iteration. Samsarix emphasizes inspectable agent handoffs and reviewable run context. History may inform a suggested change, but a production workflow should not silently rewrite itself.
