Create Zap Triggers
In order to use zapier in your automation, you need to create a zap first. To create Zap you need to login in your Zapier account ( Click Here to Login ). You can create a Zap by clicking on the MAKE A ZAP button in the right corner.
You need to create a trigger inside your Zap to listen for notifications from FunnelBuild3r. To create a trigger search for Webhooks by Zapier.
Once you selected “Webhooks by Zapier” it will prompt you to the next screen. Here we need to select type of request and name of the hook.
In this screen select the catch hook and click “Save + Continue“. In the next section the zap will ask for the “child key“.
In this section you need to enter contact as the key. Make sure to enter contact in lower case. After entering this field click on “Continue”. Now your trigger is almost ready.
Its time to retrieve sample data from FunnelBuild3r and test newly created Zap. To send a request to your zap copy the displayed link and past that link inside your funnel zap action.
Enter your newly created URL inside the zap action. Once you’ve done that go back to your Zap editor and click the “Ok, I did this” button. Then click on the “Test This Zap!” button in your action step.
A popup will show a message that the connection is a success. Go back to your Zapier window.
If every thing goes right you will able to see sample data retrieved by Zapier from FunnelBuild3r and you can now configure what to do with that data.
Zap Action
Zapier works in trigger -> action pairs. The action specifies what to do with the retrieved data. There is a large number of apps to choose from! But for the sake of this example we are going to how how to setup up creating a Google sheets spreadsheet row.
Click on Add new step link or click on Add a Step button displayed on the left side. After clicking that link the next step is to choose an action App. I am selecting Google Sheets here but you can select any app you want.
Once you selected appropriate app it will prompt you to select an action. Here I want to create a new row so I selected “Create Spreadsheet Row” action.
Once you click on “Save + Continue” it will ask for login details in next screen. This step may vary based on the app and action you selected. Once you configure your login details with specific apps click “Save + Continue”.
Its time to set up the relation between your action and triggers. Here I selected the spreadsheet in which I want to insert data and then selected a work sheet. I have Three columns in my spreadsheet thus all the columns auto populate in the APP form.
Once you click on the small icon next to fields you will be able to see all the data you received from FunnelBuild3r. You can select the appropriate fields from your FunnelBuild3r sample data to map the data to your spreadsheet columns.
After mapping all the fields click on “Continue” and you will be prompted to test this action. Click on “Test”. It will insert dummy data retrieved from FunnelBuild3r sample to your spreed sheet. If the test is successful click Finish.
Now its a time to name your Zap. Give it a nice name and turn it on by toggling the power button.
Awesome! You’ve created your first Zap using FunnelBuild3r and Google sheets. Now, you have basic idea how its works… you can explore more than 1000 apps on Zapier and integrate them with FunnelBuild3r.
