Streamline Your Workflows: Integrating 'New Events' in TextIt with Zapier Flows

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

In today's fast-paced business environment, the integration of communication platforms with automation tools is essential for staying ahead of the curve. TextIt, a versatile SMS platform, and Zapier, a powerful automation tool, can be linked seamlessly to optimize your workflow, enhance efficiency, and ultimately save time and resources. This integration enables users to trigger automated workflows – known as Zaps – in Zapier whenever a 'new event' occurs in TextIt. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you connect TextIt 'new events' with Zapier flows, taking your business automation to the next level.



  1. Why Integrate TextIt with Zapier?
    Integrating TextIt with Zapier allows you to connect with numerous applications effortlessly, streamlining thousands of workflow possibilities without the need for complex coding. Zapier can help you automate repetitive tasks between TextIt and other apps, so you can focus on more critical aspects of your business.



  2. Setting Up the Integration:
    To begin, ensure that you have accounts for both TextIt and Zapier and that you're logged into both.




Step 1: Create a New Zap
Start by logging into your Zapier account and clicking on the 'Make a Zap' button.


Step 2: Choose a Trigger App
Search for and select TextIt as your trigger app. Once selected, choose the 'New Event' trigger, which will prompt Zapier to act whenever a specified event occurs in TextIt.


Step 3: Configure TextIt Trigger
After selecting the 'New Event' trigger, you'll be prompted to connect your TextIt account by logging in and authorizing Zapier to access it. Next, define the event that will act as a trigger. This could be a new message, contact, or any other event available in TextIt's trigger options.


Step 4: Set Up the Trigger Event Details
According to the specifics of the event you've selected, you may need to provide additional details. For instance, if the event is tied to a new message, specify the criteria that the message must meet to trigger a flow in Zapier.


Step 5: Connect to an Action App
Once you've set up your trigger, the next step is to choose the action app – this is the application that will carry out actions in response to your TextIt trigger. For example, it could be a CRM, email marketing service, or any other app that Zapier supports.


Step 6: Configure the Action
Within the action app, define the specific action you want to be carried out. This configuration will vary depending on the service you're using. Follow the instructions to match up the required fields with information passed from TextIt.


Step 7: Test and Activate the Zap
Before fully activating the Zap, run a test to ensure that the integration functions as intended. If the test is successful, go ahead and turn on the Zap.


The smooth integration between TextIt and Zapier will now help you streamline communication-based workflows, ensuring that whenever a 'new event' occurs in TextIt, an automated Zap immediately follows suit in your chosen application.



  1. Maximizing Your Integration
    To get the most out of your integration, experiment with different triggers and actions, tailor your workflows to match your needs, and always keep security best practices in mind.
