Zapier is an integration platform that lets you connect 1000+ web applications. It means that you can use it to send data from LinkedFusion to any other supported app. You can use it to send the information based on Events triggered like Invitation sent, Invitation Accepted, Invitation Withdrawn, Prospect Responded.

Simply speaking, a “Zap” is a task that you want to be performed over and over again. For example, you can “add every prospect added by LinkedFsuion to SalesForce CRM”. The first part of the request is the “Trigger”, and the second - the “Action”.

When you create a Zap, Zapier will automatically check the trigger for new data every few minutes, and when the Zap triggers, Zapier performs an action.

What is a Trigger?

A Trigger is an event that starts a Zap. For example, if you want to add the event "Invitation Accepted" from LinkedFusion to SalesForce CRM, LinkedFusion will be calling your Zapier URL with the relevant data which will be the trigger.
​

What is Action?

An Action is an event that a Zap performs. Following the example mentioned above, if you want to add every Accepted LinkedIn profile to SalesForce, “adding a new contact to SalesForce” will be the “Action” in this case.

This was all about the basic terms used while working with Zapier.
