Try ProgressionLIVE integration in Zapier before everyone else!
Since a few months, we are working on the development of a ProgressionLIVE application for the Zapier platform. Thus, after a first phase of development, we are ready to launch our application in prebeta phase. This phase is not available to the general public and is by invitation only. That’s why you will not find our application on the zapier.com website. However, we offer our loyal customers to test version 1.0.1 before anyone else.
Indeed, before making our application available to the general public on Zapier, it must be tested by at least 10 users. That’s why today you are lucky to be among the first to test ProgressionLIVE on Zapier. Later in this article I will explain how to get access to this prebeta. But before, let’s see what Zapier is, how it works and what you can do between ProgressionLIVE and Zapier.
What is Zapier?
Zapier is a platform that automates recurring tasks by connecting applications to each other. Thus, more than 1,000 applications are available on the platform, such as Google Calendar, GMail, MailChimp, Facebook, etc.
How it works?
An integration between one application and another in Zapier is called a Zap. A Zap is easy and quick to set up and you do not have to be a programmer to do it. The platform works primarily with Triggers and Actions. Thus, where a user configures an action to be performed in one application based on an event in another.
