What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that allows you to connect your favorite apps to automate various tasks without relying on developers or having to do any coding yourself. 

You can connect with apps like Gmail, Slack, and MailChimp. By using Zapier, you will be able to integrate your Sellfy store with more than 5,000 apps, streamline your selling process and grow your business. 

Zapier uses Zaps, also called workflows, to link your apps and start a trigger. The trigger is based on events that you select in your Sellfy account. When that particular event happens in your store it kicks off a workflow in the apps that you've connected. In this way, Zapier automates certain tasks for you in the background without you having to manually keep track.

To successfully create Zaps on Sellfy, you'll need to:

• Sign up for a Zapier account
• Authenticate your Sellfy account using a unique API key
• Select a trigger
• Test the trigger and save it as a configuration in your account
• Add an action

How to create a Zap

Once successfully integrated, you can start creating Zaps (workflows) in your Sellfy account. To create Zaps you'll need to select triggers that will prompt the workflow. 

For example, you can trigger different events based on the payment status of an order. You are able to select different options here from the dropdown:

• Completed payment 
• Refunds
• Reversed payments 
• To trigger an action on all events leave it blank

 To finalize the setup of your Zap, you'll need to test the trigger you've selected, and save the configuration.

Once the trigger configuration is complete, you can add an action(s) based on this trigger. An action entails selecting an app from the Zapier directory and triggering a response within the app to set up automation. You can see all the available applications on Zapier here.

For example, you pick an email app (the envelope icon) to receive an email every time a sale is made.

You have created your first Zap, and now you can proceed to create more Zaps depending on your needs!
