How does Zapier work?
If you’re new to Zapier (or need a quick refresher) think of Zapier as the silent connector of all your marketing tools. It’s an automation tool that connects two or more apps so you can automate repetitive tasks without building an integration. It’s notoriously easy enough that anyone can create workflows, or ‘Zaps”, in minutes.
Key points:
- Zaps are workflows that connect your apps and make them work together.
- Zaps start with a trigger, or an event in one of your apps like ManyChat to start your workflow.
- Zaps automate tasks in the background, you set them up once and they run on their own.
Zapier account terms
If you’re going to start using Zapier with your ManyChat account, you want to get familiar with some key terms:
- Trigger: an event that starts the Zap.
- Action: an event that completes the Zap.
- Task: a piece of data you run through your Zap. For example, if you add 50 subscribers to your Mailchimp account automatically, your Zap just performed 50 tasks.
- Search: the event that allows you to look up for a subscriber in your Audience list by ID, Name or Custom User Field and send them a message / content or perform any other Action.
How a Zap works
A simple two-step Zap can take five minutes to set up:
Step 1: Authenticate ManyChat and the app you want to connect.
Step 2: Pick one of the apps as a trigger to start the automation.
Step 3: Choosing a resulting action from the other app.
Step 4: Choose the data you want to send from one app to the other.
Step 5: Turn the Zap on.
For each of these cases below, you’ll find a template to walk you through creating the Zap so you can reap the benefits of marketing automation.
