Zapier integration

Zapier is a web service that enables you to create automated and repetitive tasks between 2 applications. 

Zapier and AB Tasty

Zapier’s integration with AB Tasty enables you to select certain events that occur on your account and to trigger certain actions on other applications based on the events you chose.

When an event occurs on an AB Tasty account, a notification will be sent to Zapier. If a user has created a "Zap", and triggers the concerned action, a notification will be sent to Zapier to execute an action created by the user on Zapier. 

You will be able to receive notifications for the following events happening on AB Tasty:

• User added to an account
• User right edited on an account
• User deleted from an account
• Framework cleared on an account
• Framework rebuilt on an account
• Campaign launched manually by a user on an account
• Campaign paused manually by a user on an account

Configuration

To create an integration with Zapier, you need to:

• Have an AB Tasty account
• Create a Zapier account

Receiving AB Tasty events through Zapier

To receive AB Tasty events through Zapier, you need to create a free account (Sign up for Zapier) or login to Zapier and apply the following steps:

1. Click Make a Zap (a "Zap" is the name given by zapier for applications’ connection):
   A page with applications that can be used in Zapier is displayed.
2. Search for "AB Tasty".
   
   
3. Click the AB Tasty logo.
4. Choose which event will be watched by this "zap" (e.g. "User added to the account").
   
   
5. Click Continue.

Linking AB Tasty to Zapier

Once you have chosen the events, you need to link AB Tasty to Zapier. To do so, apply the following steps:

   A new window appears.
   
2. If you are not logged in to AB Tasty, enter your AB Tasty credentials.
3. Click Allow to allow Zapier to access your AB Tasty account: it can take a few seconds to load.
   Now your AB Tasty account is linked to Zapier.
4. Choose the account(s) you want to receive notifications for. (You can add more than one account).
   
   
5. Click Continue.
6. To make sure everything is working, click Test trigger.
   
   The response should look like this:
   
7. Click Continue: the AB Tasty part of the zap is configured. 

Use case 

Now that Zapier has been configured to receive notifications when a user is added to AB Tasty, let’s say you want to send a message on Slack when this event is triggered by Zapier.

To do so:

1. Go to the second part of the page.
   
   
2. Search for "Slack".
3. Choose the "Send Direct Message in Slack" action.
4. Link your Slack account to Zapier.

To customize the message:

1. Choose to whom you want to send the Slack message.
2. In the "Message text", you will have the option to choose between custom text and variables sent by AB Tasty.
   You can mix variables and custom text.
   
   
3. Configure the rest of the parameters as you wish.
4. Click Continue.
5. To review your configuration, click Test & Continue.

You can now turn your Zap on using the toggle switch on the right.
