Hey everyone,
I’ve organized my Zaps into different project folders to keep things tidy. But every time I log into Zapier, it shows me all my Zaps in one big list. It’s a bit annoying to navigate to my main project folder each time.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to make Zapier open a specific folder automatically when I log in? It would save me a lot of clicks and time if I could set my most-used project folder as the default view.
I’ve looked through the settings, but I can’t seem to find this option. Am I missing something obvious? Any tips or workarounds would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance for your help!
As someone who’s been deep in the Zapier ecosystem for a while, I can confirm there’s no native way to set a default folder view. It’s a common pain point for power users.
A workaround I’ve found effective is using browser extensions. There are several that allow you to run custom scripts when you load specific pages. You could set up one to automatically redirect you to your preferred folder URL when you hit the Zapier dashboard.
Another option is to create a custom start page for your browser that includes direct links to your most-used Zapier folders. This way, you’re just one click away from where you need to be.
Have you considered reaching out to Zapier’s product team with this feature request? The more users who ask for it, the more likely they are to implement it in a future update.
I’ve been using Zapier for a few years now, and unfortunately, I haven’t come across a built-in option to set a default folder view. It’s definitely a feature that would be useful for power users like us who manage multiple projects.
That being said, I’ve found a workaround that might help. I bookmark the specific folder URL in my browser. This way, when I need to access my main project folder, I just click the bookmark instead of navigating through the Zapier interface. It’s not perfect, but it saves me quite a bit of time.
Another trick I use is keeping my most important folder at the top of the list by naming it with a symbol or number (e.g., ‘1_Main Project’). This way, it’s always the first one I see when I log in.
Have you considered reaching out to Zapier support with this suggestion? They’re usually pretty responsive to user feedback, and it could be a valuable addition to their platform.
hey grace, zapier doesnt allow default folder views i know its a pain! my hack: make a custom dashboard linking ur fave folders. also rename folders (e.g., ‘1_project’) so they show on top. hope it helps!
