A zap is the name of an automated workflow in Zapier.
It's the 'recipe' for what you want to happen.
A zap has a 'trigger' - the app event that starts the workflow.
Then a zap includes one or more search and action steps. This takes care of what you want the workflow to do.

When your zap runs, it uses tasks.
Tasks are one of the main metrics Zapier users to differentiate its pricing plans.
Broadly speaking, each step in a zap other than the trigger uses one task.
