So, what exactly is Zapier?
Zapier is a task-automation platform that connects apps together. Examples: automatically add emails to a task list, save attachments to cloud storage, push form submissions to a spreadsheet — without writing code. Once configured, your Zaps quietly manage the admin functions you no longer want to think about.
What can I use Zapier for?
The integration automatically creates a new customer or updates an existing one when a new order is created or updated. Popular Zaps for Transporters operators include:
- Create Trustpilot review invitations from new orders
- Add Mailchimp subscribers from confirmed orders
- Push new orders into Google Sheets for reporting
- Add new Mailchimp subscribers as customers
- Get Slack notifications for new orders
- Add new Google contacts as customers
Setting up a Zapier account

Creating additional Zaps
A great starter integration is automatically adding new orders as rows to Google Sheets — useful for any team that lives in spreadsheets for reporting. Other popular targets: Gmail, Dropbox, WordPress, QuickBooks, Excel, Salesforce, Facebook, Twitter.
Zapier integration is available on the Professional plan and above.
