Zapier integration for chatbots and AI agents

About this integration

Zapier is one of our most versatile integrations for our chatbot builders. By connecting a chatbot to Zapier, you can link conversations with thousands of apps and services without writing any code.

The integration works by using chatbot events as triggers in Zapier, which can then launch automated actions in other tools like CRMs, email platforms, or project management software. This makes it simple to connect a chatbot to systems that don’t have native integrations.

For builders, Zapier acts as a bridge between the chatbot and the rest of the tech stack. It allows you to design workflows that extend chatbot interactions into business processes, making automations faster to set up and easier to maintain.
