Zapier Integration

The Zapier integration is a bit unlike other integrations in Sunsama. To use Sunsama in Zapier, you'll need to add the Sunsama app in your Zapier account's connected apps and will need to generate and use a token in your Sunsama settings to do so. Read on for detailed steps.

Integration set up:

Adding Sunsama app to Zapier

First, go to your account in Zapier, or create an account one if you have not already.

In Zapier, go to your Apps page.
Click "Add Connection" or use the search bar and type "Sunsama".
You'll then be prompted to enter your Zapier Token.

Zapier Token

To find your Zapier Token:

In Sunsama, go to your Settings and navigate to "Zapier" in the very bottom of the left hand panel. Here's the direct link to your Zapier settings page.
Click "Create New Zapier Token", and a unique token for your Sunsama workspace will be created above and obscured.
Click "Copy token".
Return to Zapier and paste the token.
Click "Yes, Continue to Sunsama".

Using Sunsama in a Zap

Now that Sunsama is a connected app in your Zapier account, you can use it as an "action" or event in a Zap.

📘
Currently, the Sunsama app in Zapier only allows you to use Sunsama as an "action" (not a trigger) in a Zap, and only to create a new task in Sunsama.

To do so, go to your Zapier > Create > Zaps. Configure your Trigger first.

For the action, select Sunsama as the app. Configure the settings of that action to your liking. You can customize the resulting Sunsama task's name, channel, start date, notes, and more.

Here's a walkthrough showing how to use Sunsama as an action in a Zap:

There are a number of Zap templates you can use. Some of these were created by Sunsama, some were created by users like you. They are displayed based on their popularity of use according to Zapier.

You can find these templates in two places:

1- Zapier's Sunsama app page

2- In your Zapier Integration Settings page. This will show some of the more popular used templates, and also give you a way to quickly create a Zap by typing in what you're trying to do.
