is a fantastic tool for building custom workflows when certain things happen on Synap and it lets you link up all your different tools to Synap. For example, using Zapier you can set up the following automations:

  • When user registers an account on Synap -> Then add row to Google Sheets

  • When user completes an attempt on Synap -> Then send email

  • When user purchases a product on Shopify -> Then add / invite to a user group on Synap

Synap's Zapier intergatrion is now pubclic so you can search for it in Zapier. If you want to use our Zapier integration, please get in touch via the Chat widget on your portal and we will help you get your Synap and Zapier accounts linked up.

๐Ÿง  The same workflows can be achieved using Synap's API endpoints, see our for more details

โšก๏ธ Creating a Zap

On Zapier create a new Zap and search for 'Synap' and select the latest version available.

Select the trigger you wish to use and click 'continue' You may need to connect your account using the credentials provided by your account manager.
