Zapier Integration

Automate your customized orders by connecting other apps through Zapier.

Zapier lets you connect Inkybay to 2,000+ other web services. Automated connections called Zaps, set up in minutes with no coding, can automate your day-to-day tasks and build workflows between apps that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

Connect InkyBay to Hundreds of Other Apps with Zapier

Each Zap has one app as the **Trigger**, where your information comes from, and which causes one or more **Actions** in other apps, where your data gets sent automatically.

Getting Started with Zapier

Zapier is a free web-based automation platform that also offers a 14-day trial. 

First, sign up for a free Zapier account. Visit the Zapier official site, click “Sign up” in the top right, and register using your email, Google, or Microsoft account. 

Second, create “Zaps” connecting a Trigger to an Action app. Take a look at some popular pre-made Zaps we’ve created for clients:

1. Inkybay + Google Drive: To upload new Inkybay orders to Google Drive as files, use this workflow. 

2. Inkybay + Dropbox: To upload new Inkybay orders to Dropbox, use this workflow. 

3. Inkybay + Email by Zapier: To send outbound emails in Email by Zapier for new orders in Inkybay, you can use this workflow.
