How does our Zapier boost workflow on WebWork?
Zapier integration enables you to connect apps you already use with WebWork platform. It is a popular automation tool that allows you to connect different apps and automate workflows without needing to code.
This is useful feature if you dont find the integration in our Integrations page. Zapier links more than 7000 apps and you can link any of them with WebWork. It allows you to import different triggers into WebWork projects and tasks and you can track time for them in WebWork.
For example you can use this integration to create new task at WebWork from new rows on Google Sheets team drive. Or detailed events can be created on Google Calendar from new tasks in WebWork time tacker.
Integration guideline
- First, determine what you want to achieve with the integration. Define the specific task or workflow you want to automate. For example, you might want to automatically create a task in WebWork when you receive a new email in Gmail.
- Sign up for a Zapier account if you don't have one.
- Go to the Integrations section in your WebWork dashboard. Select the Create & Edit Zaps button next to Zapier to get started. Identify the apps you want to connect.
- In this page you can see some suggesting workflows or create you own zap. The suggested workflows are zap templets you can use. But if you dont find the workflow in the suggested list you can create custom zap. In this article you can find a common guideline for Zapier integration and check the link for Google Sheets integration as an example workflow.
