Middlemen have never been this awesome, Zapier is here make you more efficient than ever! We have a nifty integration with Zappier allowing you to “Zap” to numerous other products. Zapier basically acts as a middleman. They take one product and create a bridge to zap information from one program to a wide variety of others. While this explanation oversimplifies the complexities of what actually happens, the end result still feels that simple.
We thought we'd list a few of the integrations possible through Zappier that we are most excited about.
Salesforce Zap
The Salesforce zap will help with getting data from a Webconnex product into Salesforce. Salesforce is an insanely complex platform with an almost limitless toolset for customization. The Salesforce zap allows important data like names, emails, and more to be zapped from our product to theirs. Usually, this would require a huge undertaking, but with Zapier this becomes a simple reality.
MailChimp Zap
While Webconnex offers an incredible Communication Center to send out emails blasts, we know clients have a lot vested in the MailChimp platform. We are proud of what we offer, but recognize the great things MailChimp is doing for the e-mail marketing world. This zap will allow pivotal information from our system, like e-mails, to automatically be transferred into Mailchimp marketing lists to be prepared for sending.
Google Sheets Zap
Google, who doesn’t love them? One of their amazing offerings is the free and intuitive productivity suite. This includes Docs, Presentations, and Sheets. Many people enjoy housing the amazing data we let you export to a Google Sheet. We already offer an amazing memorized export feature that allows an Excel/CSV sheet to be sent to you AND your colleagues in an automated fashion. However, there are instances when advanced users want data to populate in a unique way, and in an asynchronous collaborative platform that Google provides. This zap will allow just that! It will bring data over to Google Sheets and populate it there automatically, taking one more step out of the equation.
Quickbooks Zap
Who doesn’t enjoy a little love given to our accountants out there? Quickbooks is a pivotal tool for anyone reconciling books, or just keeping good records. It is super easy to export our data and upload it manually into Quickbooks. With that said, we know some people love to have data pulled into Quickbooks in are more streamlined manner. The QuickBooks zap does just that. It will zap data from our end straight into Quickbooks through Zapier. Pretty nifty indeed.
Constant Contact Zap
Constant Contact and MailChimp are similar in a lot of ways. Although, Constant Contact has compelling corporate-level features which is appealing to a lot of users.This zap will work similarly to a Mailchimp zap, integrating e-mails and names in an automated process. This also proves a great feature of Zapier, in general. Most of the time integrations need to be chosen to go one way or the other, but not with Zapier. Feel free to use a zap to Constant Contact, MailChimp, or both!
The efficiency and time saving is evident with what Zapier can get you when using Webconnex products. We are excited to introduce our integration later this year and hope this helps give you a few ideas to whet your appetite with. You can sign up for an account with Zapier now and feel free to poke around over there. We’ll be announcing the official release of our Zapier integration soon. Until then, dream about zapping away.
