How to Connect Zapier to your Sleeknote Campaign

The main benefit that email integration gives you is automation. This means that tasks are automatically saved in the background, while you can focus on other important work.

We have already made a separate lesson on the importance of email integration, you can find it under the Sleeknote Editor category in the Sleeknote Academy.

In this lesson, we will look at how Zapier can send the data you collect through your campaigns to several integrations simultaneously. We will cover the basics of what Zapier can do and how this system can be connected to your Sleeknote campaign. So let’s get started!

What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects your favorite apps. You can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build the integration.

Connecting Zapier to Sleeknote

To connect Zapier to your Sleeknote you will have to do a couple actions on both sites and go back and forth a little bit.

The first step is to log into your Zapier account, make a zap and select webhooks. Next, you should select catch hook and continue on the next step on the platform. Here you will be given a webhook URL which you will have to copy paste to your Sleeknote campaign.

But where exactly? Connecting to Zapier in our editor takes place in the settings part under integration with your favorite email software. From all the icons here choose the orange flower, which is the logo of Zapier.

Here you insert your webhook URL and click on continue mapping. Further, you will need to specify which exact data you would like us to send to you Zapier list. This is done by filling out campaign and Zapier fields. The fields that you would like to save can, for example, be name and email.

Once you are all done with matching your fields click on send test zap and most importantly do not forget to save your integration!

You will now have to go back to your Zapier account and click on “ok I did this”, wait a few moments and press continue.

I know that this was a bit complicated and you had to go back and forth a lot, but the integration is now done! Now you can select an action of what you would like Zapier to do.

What actions can you do with Zapier?

There are truly thousands of possibilities. You can, for example, connect your campaign to:

To send a personalized email to all the new leads
Connect to Slack and get a message every time a new lead signs up
Create a new task card by connecting to Trello
Or connect any of your social media accounts.

Why would you want to make such connections? Let’s imagine that you send a personalized small video message to all of your new leads via Bonjoro. You make a connection between your campaign, Zapier and Bonjoro. Every single lead that just made a sign up will automatically be sent to your Bonjoro account and you can send them your small video message welcoming them to your company. Pretty cool right?

Conclusion

Zapier can truly help you on many levels. First and the most important is automation, which will save a lot of your time and effort. It is fairly easy to set up and it connects more than 1 000 web applications.

Having some type of integration is necessary as we only store data regarding your leads for a period of three months. Without an integration, you will have to be downloading CSV files with your leads and the storing of them might become messy.

Therefore, we advise you to connect to your email integration system or Zapier. We hope that it is all clear how to connect your Zapier account to your Sleeknote campaigns.
