Workflow: Zapier + Copilot hybrid for CI triggers
I want a reliable workflow combining Zapier webhooks with Copilot-generated GitHub Actions for build gating. Looking for a recommended division of responsibilities and maintenance tips.

Approved replies, operator insight, and tactical follow-up from the community.
Division:
- Zapier: accept external events, auth/validate, lightweight transforms and rate-limiting, then call GitHub repository_dispatch or workflow_dispatch with a versioned event_type.
- Copilot-generated GitHub Actions: enforce deterministic build gating, status checks, secret handling, retries, and artifact publishing.
Maintenance tips:
- Keep Zapier logic minimal; add idempotency keys and event_version.
- Pin action versions, add schema validation, verbose logs, and scheduled smoke tests.
