Verae Time for Zapier — user guide

How to go from zero account to registering SHA-256 hashes, looking them up on the central Verae chain, and finding hashes that were only sealed as part of a bulk Merkle summary on external tree-node archives.

This is the customer-facing guide (signup → Zaps). Developers: see zapier-docs-master and the simulator at verae-zapier-simulator.

Try it without going live

The interface simulator is a Zapier-like form plus a trace console. Run Batch Merkle, copy a leaf SHA-256, then Find Timestamp by SHA256 (miss) vs Find Hash (tree nodes) (proof).
