Should you build this?

YES, if

v7→v9 regression creating fresh churn signal · timing window
Security incident (Ghost hack) adds urgency to API key storage angle · dual wedge
Distribution via r/zapier + r/automation · 0 cold outreach

THINK TWICE

Zapier may fix v9 regressions any sprint · feature lifespan tight
n8n / Make.com are full alternatives · users may switch wholesale instead of patching Zapier
API key vaults are crowded (1Password, Doppler, Infisical) · differentiation needs Zapier-specific integration

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: Reply in signal#2 'v9 broken' thread + signal#3 Ghost hack thread · ask 5 Zapier users if they'd pay $19/mo for compat + key vault
Next 7 days: Ship landing page with v7→v9 regression replay demo · capture emails of Zapier users on Paths + Tables
If 20+ Zapier users commit: If 20+ Zapier users in 7 days: build MVP wrapping Zapier API + key vault · launch within 2 weeks

I want to build a tool for: Zapier users on Paths + Tables workflows · v9 broke functionality that v7 worked · API key storage and integration security concerns

The pain users describe: Paths + Zapier Tables 'Find Records' not triggering any messages — v7 worked, v9 broken

Timing / why now: Zapier v7→v9 regressions affecting Paths + Tables (signal#2) + security incident via Zapier API key (signal#3 Ghost hacked) · trust window closing for legacy users

Existing alternatives: n8n

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:
1. Core user flow (happy path, 3-5 steps)
2. Data model (main tables and their key fields)
3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
