Last year, we introduced a new feature which enables customers to connect tools they are already using such as Gmail, Outlook and Calendars to their Beyonk account through a Zapier integration. This makes it easier for companies like yours to manage your business and connect Beyonk data to those external software tools.
But how does that work and what exactly does that mean for you? Keep reading to find out.
Enabling Zapier integration
In order to use this feature, you’ll first have to create your own Zapier account through their website and connect all the apps you frequently use.
Once you have that set up, return to your Beyonk account, click “Apps” on the left hand side, then “Discover Apps” and scroll until you find “Zapier” and click “Enable”.
Once you have enabled this feature in your Beyonk account, you’ll be redirected to the ‘Manage’ tab which provides you with a unique API key. Copy this and return to your Zapier account and add Beyonk as a new connection.
You’ll receive an access prompt which then requests an API key. Paste this into the required field and click “Yes, Continue”. Your account will then be connected!
Setting up ‘Zaps’
Returning to your Zapier dashboard, you should see an option to “+Create zap”. Search for Beyonk and click the integration when it pops up. For the ‘Event’, choose a trigger. This will be what needs to happen in order to trigger the action. For example, your trigger might often be “New purchase created”, which will then inform a series of actions you want to happen such as transferring customer data to your CRM.
You’ll then be asked what other account you want the information moved to, in this case it would be the CRM your company uses and Zapier will give you the option to test this before creating the ‘Action’ part of this ‘Zap’.
The ‘Action’ part of this allows you to choose what information you want to be sent between Beyonk and your CRM such as first and last name, contact details and booking information.
Once that is completed, your ‘Zap’ is now ready to be used whenever a booking is made on your website.
For more detailed information on how to set this up, please refer to our Zapier integration support article.
What platforms can Beyonk connect to?
Beyonk allows you to connect to over 5,000+ apps and platforms using your Zapier account. As long as Zapier enables it, you can connect it to your Beyonk account. From marketing apps such as Facebook, ActiveCampaign, Expedia and Freshdesk to finance platforms such as Stripe, Sage and QuickBooks.
