What Is Zapier?
Zapier is an integration platform that connects 400+ web
applications and services together by automating
mindless, repetitive, and tedious tasks without knowing
anything about code.
“It’s a far more powerful, business-oriented, version of IFTTT
and the solution many of our customers are looking for.”

- Emily Carl, ReviewTrackers Employee

How Does It Work?
All Zaps are 1-to-1 relationships.
All Zaps travel in one direction.
Here's an example of a Zap:

When I receive a new email in
Gmail, send me an SMS message.
The first part (receiving a new
email) is the trigger. 



The second part (sending an SMS
message) is the action.

Step 1 of 7
Select the non-ReviewTrackers
web app or service.
Select one of the
appropriate triggers.
Select ReviewTrackers.
Select your action 

(Send Request Review Email).
Steps 2 & 3 of 7
Link your ReviewTrackers
account using an API key —
Zapier will prompt you to test
the connection.
Link your MailChimp (or other
web app) account using an API
key — Zapier will prompt you
to test the connection.
Step 4 of 7
Select the appropriate
corresponding fields.



Apply any optional filters —
these can get tricky! Ideally
these are avoided.
The fields during
this step vary based
on the web app/
service.
Step 5 of 7
Select the location within
ReviewTrackers.
Select or type in.
Select or type in.
Select the location within
ReviewTrackers.
Simply delete this — not
needed.
This should always read
“Email.”
Steps 6 & 7 of 7
You’re able to test the
Zap to make sure it
works as intended.
Naming correctly and
with some consistent
pattern is important to
keep Zaps in order!
Then switch on Zap.
