Every run returns the task metadata (taskId, status, success, completedAt) plus the parsed result: text, markdown, html, model, sources (position, URL, label, description), entities, searchQueries, and shoppingCards when available. Map any of these into later Zap steps.
Example Zaps
- Schedule by Zapier → cloro → Google Sheets: run a fixed set of brand prompts daily and append the answers and cited sources to a tracking sheet.
- Google Forms → cloro → Slack: let teammates submit a prompt from a form and post the parsed answer to a channel.
- Schedule by Zapier → cloro (Google AI Overview) → Email: watch whether the AI Overview for a target query cites your domain and get notified of the result.
