Zapier Predictions

Build AI-powered automations with no code.

Function provides a Zapier integration for adding AI predictions to your automations. Let's build a Zapier automation that listens for submissions to a Google form, then generates an image and emails the respondent.

Our Zapier integration is currently invite-only. Email us → for access.

Adding the Form Trigger

First, create a form on Google Forms ↗ with two text fields:

Email. We will use this to email the user with the generated image.
Prompt. We will use this to generate an image using Stable Diffusion.

Zapier + Function Form

Here's the form with the two fields listed above.

@samplefxn/stable-diffusion

Stable Diffusion predictor which we'll be using to generate an image.

Next, head over to Zapier ↗ and create a new zap. Add a Google Forms trigger by logging in to Google and connecting the form you just created:

INCOMPLETE: User must fill in their form to generate a sample response to be used in Zapier.

Logging in to Function

First, add a Function action:

You'll need to login to your Function account. Head over to your Account ↗ page on Function to generate a new access key for Zapier:

generate access key

We strongly recommend creating a separate access key to login on Zapier, instead of reusing an existing access key.

Then in Zapier, click on "Connect a new account" then enter your access key:

Making Predictions

Now, we're all set to make predictions in Zapier. In the Function action, choose the "Predict" event then set the predictor tag:

# Set the predictor `tag`` in the `Predict` action in Zapier
@samplefxn/stable-diffusion

Once you do, Zapier will automatically fetch the input values accepted by the predictor. Simply pass in the user's prompt from their response in Google Forms:

When testing the predict action, you might hit a cold start and encounter a timeout error. Simply try again in a few moments.

Using the Automation

A simple way to complete the automation is to send an email with the prediction result. You can add a Gmail action that sends an email. First, set the body type to html then populate the body:

<p>
  Hey there! Here is the image you generated by filling out the Zapier + Function AI Form:
</p>
<img src="<Place the prediction result data here>" />

After publishing the zap, fill out your form:

And in a few moments, you should receive an email:
