Business App CRM can be connected to many 3rd party systems using Zapier.
How Does it Work?
Step 1: Selecting the Trigger
In this step, you can select the trigger that initiates an action in your workflow. As an example when a New Payment in Quickbooks Online can be used as a trigger. However, you can choose from various other triggers available in Zapier.
Step 2: Choosing the App
After selecting the trigger, you’ll need to choose the app that will carry out your desired action. In this scenario, that app would be Business App. This means that whenever a New Payment is received in Quickbooks online, an automation would be executed in the Business App CRM. As part of Business App in Zapier, various actions are possible.

Step 3: Choosing the Action
In this step, you’ll set the action to be performed when the trigger event happens. For this scenario, the action is to Run Automation in the Business App CRM.
Remember, you can change the action anytime by clicking on the dropdown menu and choosing a different option. After selecting the action, click “Continue” to proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Signing In
In this step, you’ll connect your Business App account. Click on “Sign in” to be redirected to the login page. Here, you’ll enter your Account ID and grant the necessary permissions. After this, you’ll be automatically redirected back to Zapier.
Note: You only need to complete this process once. In the future, you’ll be automatically signed into your account when using the Business App Action.
