Introduction:
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to easily connect with Zapier.
Important: Zapier only works with the key in the Zapier API Key section of Settings. Keys created under Brij API Keys (with Create New API Key) will not connect to Zapier.
Instructions:
Access Settings
- Go to the side menu, select 'Settings', and open the 'Integrations' tab.
Show the Zapier API Key
- Under 'Zapier API Key', check the box for 'Show Zapier API Key'.
Generate and Save API Key
- Click the 'Regenerate API Key' button, copy the generated key, and save changes by clicking 'Save'.
- Note: Regenerating replaces the current Zapier key. Any existing Zaps using the old key will need to be reconnected with the new one.
Set Up Zap in Zapier
- Go to Zapier, click on the 'Create' button, and select 'New Zap' from the drop-down menu.
Configure Trigger Event
- Choose 'Brij' as the app and 'Scan a Product' as the trigger event. Click 'Continue'.
Connect Brij Account
- Click 'Choose an Account', select 'Connect a new Account', paste the Zapier API key, and follow the prompts to connect. Click 'Continue'.
Enter Experience Details
- Enter the 'Experience ID' for the desired Scan Zap, paste the 'Slug' into the 'Experience ID' text box, and click 'Refresh Fields' then 'Continue'.
Test Trigger
- Test the trigger by clicking 'Test Trigger' and review the listed fields. Click 'Continue with Selected Records'.
Set Up Action
- Choose an action for the Zap, e.g., sending a Slack message. Select the desired action, authenticate your account, and click 'Continue'.
Customize Action Details
- Input details such as 'Channel Name', 'ZAP Text', and other required fields. Click 'Continue'.
Complete Configuration
- Review the details, skip testing if preferred, and click 'Publish'.
- 🎉 Congratulations! you have successfully connected Brij with Zapier, enhancing your automation capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Zapier is stuck on "Connecting..." or the connection shows as Expired
- Make sure you copied the key from the Zapier API Key section, not from Brij API Keys.
- Check that no extra spaces were copied before or after the key.
- Make sure you're in the correct brand when you copy the key.
- In Zapier, go to App Connections, replace the credentials on the Brij connection with the Zapier API key, and test the connection again.
