# Zapier

> Connect Afflo with thousands of other tools through Zapier.

Zapier is the universal bridge. If a tool you want isn't in Afflo's integration list, Zapier probably already connects the two — and you can build the workflow without writing code.

## What it does

* Triggers Zaps on Afflo events (new affiliate, payout processed, etc.)
* Sends data from other tools into Afflo (for example, add affiliates from a form)
* Runs scheduled workflows that touch Afflo data

## Popular use cases

* **Add every new affiliate to a Google Sheet** for your operations team
* **Post a Slack message** when a payout runs or a new big partner signs up
* **Create a Notion page** for each new creator outreach conversation
* **Add new affiliates to a Mailchimp / HubSpot list** without building direct integrations

## Connect

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Zapier">
    Sign in to your Zapier account and search for **Afflo** in the app directory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your Afflo API key">
    In Afflo, go to **Settings → Security** (or **Integrations → Marketing → Zapier**) and generate a Zapier key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste into Zapier">
    Paste the key when Zapier asks you to connect Afflo.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build your Zap">
    Pick a trigger (for example, **New Affiliate**), pick an action in another app, and turn the Zap on.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips

* Keep Zap names descriptive. "Affiliate → Slack #partnerships (launch 2026)" beats "My Zap."
* Use a separate Zapier account or folder for production vs. experiments so a test Zap doesn't double-post.
* When Afflo adds a direct integration for a tool you're bridging through Zapier, switch — direct integrations are faster and don't count against Zap limits.

## Troubleshooting

**Zap not triggering.** Check Zapier's task history for errors. Rate limits on free Zapier plans are a common cause.

**Duplicate records.** Zapier retries on failure. Add a "filter by field" step to skip records you've already processed.
