Zapier lets you connect apps you use every day with Podia and automate workflows.
One of the workflows you can create is to subscribe people to marketing emails in Podia.
Available on: Shaker plan.
This works great if...
You are adding emails to a spreadsheet and want those emails to be automatically subscribed to your Podia audience
You are collecting emails using an external email platform and want to automatically send them to Podia as well
Send subscribers to Podia that fill out a form you have in Typeform/Google Forms
In this article, we'll show you how to subscribe someone to emails in Podia using Zapier!
Setting up a Zapier trigger
The first step is to define your Zapier trigger. A trigger is an event within an app that starts a Zap.
The Zapier trigger can be any platform you want to connect to Podia.
Examples:
A new row is added to Google Sheets
A form is submitted through Typeform
A sale is made through Samcart
A contract is signed through DocuSign
Whatever you choose, this will be the event that will trigger the zap.
On your Zapier account, select the platform you want to connect to Podia and define the trigger event.
For this example, we'll use New Entry in Typeform:
Follow the steps, connect your account, and the define values that will help Zapier send the correct information to Podia.
Once the connection is established, you should see a green checkmark next to the trigger, indicating things should be all set ✅
Setting up the "Subscribe Someone" in Podia Zapier action
After your Zapier Trigger is set, it is time to configure the action Zapier will take in Podia.
For this article, we'll be using the "Subscribe someone" Zapier action.
Under Action, select or search for Podia.
For Event, select "Subscribe Someone".
Connect your Podia account.
Under Actions, we'll configure what fields you want to send to Podia.
Tag is an optional field, so fill in this field if you want to add a tag to those accounts subscribed through this zap.For Email, map the connected app email value to the Email field in the action configuration. For Typeform, this would be "What's your email address" response.
Test the integration to make sure the data was mapped correctly and that new accounts are being subscribed in Podia.
For the final step, name your zap, and make sure to Publish it 🙌
In operation...
Once both a trigger and an action are in place, the zap will start working.
Whenever a trigger is activated, Zapier will perform the Subscribe someone action, and add a subscriber to your audience.
You can check all of the latest zaps on your account by clicking on Zap history.
