Why use Aloware's Zapier Integration?

Zapier works as a bridge for users who use apps that have no direct integration from Aloware but are available to integrate with Zapier.

Integration with Zapier and Aloware is a great way to create and update contacts. It happens as an external system that triggers an action to take place.

  • Automate Action Inside Aloware - If an event happens outside Aloware, you can automate:

    1. Update or create an Aloware contact.

    2. Send an SMS to an Aloware contact.
      Example: A contact visits your site, becomes interested in your service, and submits their info on your web form. Use Aloware's Zapier integration to automatically create a contact in Aloware from the webform submission.

  • Automate Action Outside Aloware - If an event happens inside Aloware (see webhook events), you can automate:

    1. External Zapier app actions

      Example: An agent creates a new contact in Aloware. Automatically enroll this contact into a MailChimp Marketing campaign.
