What is Zapier?
If you're into automation (which, as a Workspace user, we'll assume you are), you may have heard of Zapier. In case you haven't, Zapier works as a bridge between apps, allowing automation at a much grander scale.
How the Integration Works
With the Workspace Zapier integration you'll be able to either use Workspace as the Trigger for your Zap (to send data from Workspace to another app) or as the Action for your Zap (to get data from another app in to Workspace).
Workspace Triggers
In the most recent iteration of our integration, you'll have three triggers that allow you to send data from Workspace to another app:
Contact Created: This trigger allows you to send contact details to another app (such as MailChimp) any time a new contact is created in Workspace.
Order Booked: This trigger allows you to send order information from Workspace to a third party app when a new order is booked in Workspace.
Payment Created: Trigger a Zap to send information to another app when a new payment is created in Workspace!
Workspace Actions
You'll also have two actions that allow you to bring data in to Workspace:
Create a Job: This action lets you take advantage of third-party scheduling tools (like Calendly and Acuity), making booking and scheduling easier than ever before!
Create a Contact: And this action lets you easily generate contacts in your Workspace address book from an external source
How to Set Up the Integration
First, you'll head to Settings › API Integrations and click New Zapier Integration:
Once selected, you'll want to use the 'Add the VSCO Workspace Zapier App' button under Step 1 to open a new tab to Zapier.
The new tab in Zapier will have an 'Add Connection' button, this is how you'll connect Workspace with Zapier.
To authenticate the Workspace App in Zapier, you'll want to grab your unique API key under Step 2 of the Zapier Integration settings in Workspace.
Then paste that key into the window that appears once you've selected the 'Add Connection' in Zapier.
With this done, you are all set to begin creating Zaps in Zapier with Workspace!

Building Your First Zap
Once you've connected your account, you'll choose and set up the app you'd like to use to create the job. From here, you'll choose your Workspace account and select Create a New Job.
Click Continue, and on the next screen you'll be able to assign the information from your triggering app to the job creation in Workspace.
Once you've finished adding in all of the information, you will want to run a test. Just make sure to purge any test leads from your Workspace account when you're done testing.
After a successful test, you're now ready to turn on your new zap!
