Relay.app is shutting down: How to export your workflows and move to Zapier

Relay is scheduled to shut down on August 15, 2026, for free users and September 14, 2026, for paid accounts, pushing users to transition their workflows to other tools, with Zapier being highlighted as the preferred alternative. Relay provides a streamlined process for exporting workflow data, which includes build prompts, run history, and JSON files detailing workflow structures, to facilitate rebuilding these in Zapier. Users are encouraged to utilize Zapier's Copilot, an AI assistant designed to replicate workflows using plain-language descriptions, which aligns with Relay's user-friendly approach. Zapier offers significant advantages over alternatives like n8n and Make, such as a broader range of app integrations, built-in error handling, and advanced governance features, making it well-suited for former Relay users. The transition process requires users to export their data promptly, as the download link is valid for only 48 hours, and to manually reconnect app credentials in Zapier, since Relay's JSON format is incompatible with Zapier's system.
