Zapier is a simple workflow and automation platform for non-developers, with support for products like Eventbrite, Google Sheets, and Asana.

With Zapier, you can easily build workflows that connect Beacon to the 3,000+ apps supported by Zapier - allowing you to automate many of your manual data entry tasks.

Using Beacon in your Zaps

The Beacon app for Zapier currently supports the ability to:

  • Create records of any kind (people, payments, etc)

  • Update a record given its 'Record ID'

  • Search for a record (e.g. find person by email)

Note: We don't currently have any Zapier triggers from Beacon, only actions in Beacon when triggered by another app. If you have a particular use-case that you'd use Beacon triggers for, let us know as we'd love to hear about it!
