Streamline your workflows and community-building efforts by connecting Crowdcast to the other tools you’re using. We've built a deep integration with Zapier to connect Crowdcast to thousands of additional applications.

Skip ahead to any of these sections:

Zaps are workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. Zaps consist of triggers and actions. A trigger is an event that starts a Zap, and an action is an event a Zap performs. You can also use filters to specify under what conditions a trigger initiates an action.

Think of a trigger and action as when and then:

When someone does [X] then [Y] will happen automatically as a result..

Here’s an example of an automation with Hubspot. When someone registers for a Crowdcast event, then their contact information is added to Hubspot.

This example would result in contact creation in Hubspot when someone registers for any of your Crowdcast events. Let’s say you want to create a contact when someone registers for a specific event. In that case, you would need a filter.

Trigger: New Event Registration

Filter: Only continue if event code text contains [event code]

Action: Create Contact in Hubspot

Below is an example of one of our Team Crowdcast zaps where a notification is sent to Slack only if the event someone registered for contains the event code text how-to-host-successful-4.

💡 Pro Tip: Your event code is the text at the end of your event URL. You can customize this in the Visibility section when you build your event, or you can leave the default text.

Here are some example use cases for zaps:

In order to set up a Zapier automation with the newest version of Crowdcast, you need to first visit the integrations page of your channel settings.

Go to your channel Settings page and view Integrations. Click Edit next to Zapier.

These instructions will appear:

Follow the instructions as listed:

✋ If this is your first time using Zapier, you’ll need to create a Zapier account before moving forward.

Once you're ready to create a zap, search for Crowdcast in your trigger or action section and select Crowdcast.

Some existing hosts may see an option to pick Crowdcast (legacy). Please select the one simply called Crowdcast.

For this example, we’re going to create a zap that sends attendee information from Crowdcast to a 3rd party app. This is only an example. You can also build zaps that achieve the reverse and more.

First, select Crowdcast as your trigger app. After selecting Crowdcast, you can add a trigger. For this example, we'll select New Event Registration.

Next, select Continue. You will then need to connect Crowdcast to Zapier. Click the blue Sign In link.

A new pop up window will open where you will input the API Key you copied earlier from your Crowdcast channel settings.

If you’ve copied the API Key correctly, you’ll see your channel name appear alongside Crowdcast here (in this example our channel name is Crowdcast). Click Continue.

Next, test your trigger to confirm that the right account is connected.

If Zapier was able to successfully find an attendee, you can move forward by clicking Continue.

Next, it’s time to build your action…

Search for the corresponding app for your desired action.

Next, select the event that you would like to take place within that app. In this example, we’re creating new contacts in Google Contacts from our event registrations.

Select the correct account associated with your indicated app.

Next, select the corresponding registration data that you would like to pull from Crowdcast to the 3rd party app.

Test your action. You’ll need to check the app you’ve connected to Crowdcast to ensure your action was completed properly. In the example provided here, you would need to go to your Google Contacts to ensure a contact was created for the test attendee.

If everything appears to be working as expected, click Publish Zap! ✅
