Overview

Zapier allows you to automate tasks between Assentir and thousands of other apps without writing any code. By setting up “Zaps” (automated workflows), you can automatically trigger actions in Assentir when certain events happen in other apps, and vice versa. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up Zapier integration with Assentir.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration, ensure that you have the following:

  1. A Zapier account. If you don’t have one, sign up at Zapier.
  2. Access to Assentir with API integration enabled.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Generate an API Key in Assentir CRM

  1. Log in to Assentir.
  2. Go to Settings > Integrations > Zapier.
  3. Click Create New API Key.
  4. Give the API key a name (e.g., “Zapier Integration”) and select the permissions you want to grant to Zapier.
  5. Click Generate Key and copy the API key.
  6. Click the link to Zapier and accept the invite to Zapier

Step 2: Set Up a Zap in Zapier

  1. Log in to Zapier.
  2. Click Create Zap in the upper-left corner.
  3. Choose a Trigger App (this is the app that will start the workflow). For example, if you want to create a new deal in Assentir when a new row is added to a Google Sheet, select Google Sheets as your trigger app.
  4. Set up the Trigger Event. Follow the prompts to connect your Trigger App and configure the event.

Step 3: Connect Assentir to Zapier

  1. In the next step, search for Assentir as the Action App.
  2. Choose the Action Event that will happen in Assentir (e.g., “Create Deal” or “Create Contact”).
  3. Zapier will prompt you to connect your Assentir account. Paste the API Key you generated earlier.
  4. Once connected, map the data from your Trigger App (e.g., Google Sheets) to the fields in Assentir (e.g., Name, Email, Phone Number).

Step 4: Test the Zap

  1. After setting up the action, Zapier will prompt you to test the Zap.
  2. Run the test to ensure that everything is working as expected.
  3. If successful, you will see a new deal, contact, or the action you configured appear in Assentir.

Step 5: Activate the Zap

  1. Once the test is successful, turn on the Zap.
  2. Zapier will now automate the workflow based on the trigger and action you’ve set up.

Best Practices

  1. Use Clear Naming Conventions: When creating Zaps, use clear and descriptive names so you can easily identify their purpose later.
  2. Test Your Zaps Regularly: Periodically test your Zaps to ensure they are functioning correctly, especially after making changes to either Assentir or the Trigger App.
  3. Monitor Task Usage: Zapier limits the number of tasks based on your pricing plan. Keep track of your task usage to avoid running out.
