DonorDock and Zapier Overview 💫

Your DonorDock account has connection access to Zapier, which allows you to create your own custom connections with thousands of other cloud apps and services. This provides you the ability to easily connect DonorDock with the other tools that support your organization.

Zapier has free and paid account options available. 

How Zapier Works

Zapier simplifies integration by allowing you to send and receive data between DonorDock and other platforms, including event management, email marketing, calendar tools, form builders, accounting systems, and more.

To get started

1. Create a Zapier account.

2. Link your tools to DonorDock by creating "Zaps"—automated workflows triggered by specific actions.

You can set up Zaps based on your goals, choosing the app to connect and specifying a trigger (e.g., a form submission) and an action (e.g., creating a contact in DonorDock).

Understanding Triggers and Actions

Zapier operates using Triggers and Actions. When a trigger occurs in one software, it automatically initiates an action in DonorDock. Likewise, a trigger in DonorDock can prompt an action in another connected tool.

Triggers are specific events or actions you or someone else perform within a software connected to Zapier. For example, a trigger could be when someone submits a form on your website.

Actions are the tasks that happen in response to a trigger. For instance, when a form is submitted (trigger), you can automatically create a new contact in DonorDock (action).
