Zapier and Wave
Today’s guest post is by Alison Groves from Zapier. For more details and instructions, see here.
Say you create a new invoice in Wave for a brand new customer. Now you need to get that customer into your CRM; add them to your email marketing list; send an email to that customer to thank them; maybe even create a follow-up task in your to-do app.
The tasks are necessary, but take up a lot of your valuable time. What if you could automate those tasks?
Now, with the help of Zapier, those manual tasks are a thing of the past.
Zapier can help you automate a huge range of tasks, such as creating to-dos or adding customers to your email marketing list.
For example, if you add a new customer to Wave or create a new invoice, Zapier can automatically create a new subscriber in a MailChimp list.
Or, take it a step further and create an entire business workflow to eliminate all of those tasks in one fell swoop.
Have a new customer or create a new invoice in Wave? Let Zapier automatically create a MailChimp subscriber, add them to your CRM such as Salesforce, and send them a welcome or thank you email from your Gmail account, all without you needing to do a thing.
What if you use a different CRM such as Infusionsoft, or a different email marketing app like AWeber? Not to worry! Zapier connects to over 500 different apps. Chances are, if you use it for your business, Zapier is connected to it.
