About National No-Code Day

National No-Code Day is a creator-led technology observance held on March 11.

Zapier launched the first National No-Code Day in 2022 as an annual celebration of people building workflows, tools and other digital experiences with no-code technology.

Why National No-Code Day matters

“No-code” generally describes tools that let people build automations or applications with visual interfaces and prebuilt components rather than writing all underlying code themselves.

The observance is a private technology-industry initiative, not a government certification that a tool is secure, compliant, accessible or suitable for every task.

History of National No-Code Day

On February 22, 2022, Zapier announced the first National No-Code Day and said it would be celebrated every March 11.

Zapier’s launch tied the inaugural March 11, 2022 observance to a No-Code Innovation Contest.

A 2023 Zapier post described that year’s program as the second annual National No-Code Day and No-Code Contest.

How to Observe National No-Code Day

01

Build a small workflow or prototype that solves a real problem rather than automating for its own sake.

02

Review what data a tool can access before connecting accounts, and avoid exposing passwords, API keys or confidential information in public examples.

03

Document critical automations so someone else can understand what they do and where failures may occur.

04

Compare tools based on the actual requirements of a project instead of treating the creator’s platform as the only way to participate.
