What is Sub-Zap by Zapier?

Sub Zap by Zapier is a handy automation within an automation. Basically, it allows you to “call” another automation within your automation. This helps for a number of different situations. It extends the amount of steps you can have in a Zapier, makes more complicated Zaps simpler, and allows for more logic within your automations. Building and calling a sub-zap can be done multiple times within a Zap which can make for extremely complex automations with the potential to fully automate complex processes and save an immense amount of time.
