Configuring Zapier
To start configuring Zapier with Blinq contacts, select New Zap from the Zapier dashboard, or manually navigate to Home → Create → Zaps. This opens the New Zap editor, where you can build a Zap workflow with AI or create each step manually.Creating a trigger
Create a Blinq trigger
- Click the Trigger event which is step 1 in a Zap workflow.
- Select Blinq as the trigger. You can find it in the Apps menu, or search for Blinq in the top bar.
Select the trigger event
The integration has two options for trigger events:
- New Contact: Triggers when a contact is created.
- Updated Contact: Triggers when a contact is updated.
Confirm your account is connected
- If you’ve already connected your account, you can go straight to testing. Click Continue at the bottom of the Trigger configuration panel.
- If you haven’t connected your Blinq account yet, see Connecting Zapier.
Test your trigger
- After setup, Zapier prompts you to test your trigger. Click Test Trigger at the bottom of the Trigger configuration panel on the Test screen.
- Select a contact record to test, or search to test a specific record. If you don’t see a record, click the Find new records prompt.
- Once selected, click Continue with selected record at the bottom of the panel.
Blinq is now configured within your Zap workflow
- At this point, you’ve connected and authenticated Blinq, selected your trigger, and passed testing.
- Now, you can move on to configuring Actions in your Zap workflow. These actions are where you control what the workflow does once triggered by your Blinq trigger.
