What is Zapier?
Zapier is an automation tool that lets you connect Nexudus to hundreds of other platforms to automate part of your operations.
For example, whenever a new customer joins your space, add them to one of your newsletter grousp in Mailchimp.
How the Zapier integration works
You just need a Zapier account to get started. If you don't have a Zapier account yet, you can create one in a few clicks via their signup form.
Once you have your account with the adequate license, you can connect Zapier to Nexudus and start building your Zaps in a matter of minutes.
For more information, check out Integrating Zapier.
Instant vs Polling triggers
Nexudus offers two types of triggers in Zapier: instant and polling.
Instant triggers
Instant triggers automatically send the relevant data to Zapier as a record is created, updated or deleted in Nexudus. Data is transfered from Nexudus to another platform in real-time. All instant triggers are labelled in the Trigger event drop-down list.
We recommend using instant triggers over polling ones if both are available for the same action.
Polling triggers
Polling triggers automatically send the relevant record data when Zapier requests it. Zapier requests record data at set intervals based on your Zapier plan. Intervals usually range from 2 to 15 minutes. Nexudus can return up to 250 records per Zapier data request.
You can also filter your Zaps using most of the fields in a record for both instant and polling triggers.
For example, you want to trigger a Zap when an article is published, but only if the article is in the New Releases category.
FAQ
Why can't I find Nexudus on Zapier?
Our integration with Zapier is invite-only, which means that you cannot search for it directly in Zapier. You need to connect the integration on the Admin Panel before being able to create Zaps.
Can I connect Nexudus to any platform through Zapier?
Any platform that's available in Zapier can be connected to Nexudus. Some limitations will apply based on the Zap you're trying to build and the data needed from Nexudus to build the Zap.
Can you help me with my Zaps?
We're working in tutorials for common Zaps. In the meantime, if you need extra help on your Zaps, you can always get in touch with us at support@nexudus.com.
