Zapier is a web-based utility allowing users to link different web applications together. Simply put, this will enable you to create automated workflows - and save a lot of time that you can use for more important things.

Connect with Zapier
In the Manage area, go to Settings and select Integrations.
Click Zapier
Click on the link
Log in to Zapier or create a new account
After you have logged in or created a new account, go back to coapp and click the link again
Click Accept Invite & Build a Zap
Create a Trigger
In our example, we connect coapp to Slack. Every time a new member signs up via coapp (trigger), a message should be created in Slack (action). Of course, you can make completely different connections from a large list of apps.
Click Create Zap
Type coapp in the search box.
After that choose an event, e.g. new user, and click on continue.
Click Sign in to coapp.io
A pop up window will open. To generate the SpaceID and ApiKey click on create in the upper right corner of coapp. Than click OK
Copy SpaceID and ApiKey and paste both into the zapier popup window
Then test the trigger and click continue
Create an Action
An action is initiated by a trigger. We have just set the trigger. Now we want to define what happens after that.
Search in the search field for the app which should execute the action. In our case Slack
Then select the action to be executed in the drop down menu and click continue
Then give zapier permission to access your app, click continue, and depending on the app, set the action the way you want it.
Don't forget to turn on your zap. Done :)
