Click Continue and log into the respective accounts for your apps when prompted.

Name your Zap and set it to Publish.
How to set up Zapier via awork Webhooks
If you want to send information from awork that isn’t standardized in the awork Zapier app, use Zapier’s Webhooks integration.
Create a “Catch Hook” trigger in Zapier
Go to zapier.com and select Webhooks as the trigger.
Select Catch Hook.
Copy the URL Zapier displays.
Enter that URL into a webhook in awork. Instructions are available here.
Add a filter in Zapier to control what should trigger the Zap, e.g., the task status.
After that, continue with the Zap setup as described in the section above.
