Zapier

Zapier is a web service that lets thousands of web apps talk to each other, including Google Docs, Dropbox, Facebook Pages, Twitter, RSS feeds, Salesforce, Wordpress, Stripe, incoming and outgoing email, and more. (See all apps)

Telerivet has developed a Zapier app to make it easy to integrate Telerivet with any other web app on Zapier.

Telerivet's Zapier app allows you to trigger the following actions:

  • send a text message
  • send a text message to a group
  • create or update a contact
  • trigger an automated service for a contact
  • send a voice call

In addition, you can trigger actions in other web apps when you receive an incoming message on Telerivet.

To get started, add Telerivet to your Zapier account. The Telerivet Zapier app is currently invite-only, so you'll need to use that link before Telerivet shows up in your Zapier account.

In order to use Zapier, you will need to add an API client to your project with the following permissions:

  • Send messages (if using the Send Text Message, Send Group Text Message, Trigger Service for Contact, or Send Voice Call actions)
  • Edit contacts (if using the Import Contact action)

Contact us if you have issues with using Telerivet from Zapier or to request additional actions or triggers.
