Set Up a Wide Range of Features with Our Zapier SMS Integrations

The California-based company, Zapier, describes itself as a no-code platform, and is today used by individuals and organizations around the world to set up workflow automation – or as they call it: “Zaps”.

The goal is to make it as simple as possible to connect your favorite apps. Should you still encounter obstacles, their support offers to assist with the setup. Zapier is free to use if you have set up under five “zaps” and complete less than 100 “tasks” per month.

On the technical side, Zapier has a 99.9% uptime as well as a high level of data protection, so you can rest assured that your data are safe as it transfers between the apps you have selected. Both of these things are of course of great importance.

At the time of writing, Zapier offers over 5,000 apps to choose from. There should therefore be a good chance that the system you are using is included.

Set up any type of SMS integration with our GatewayAPI app in Zapier.

If you have not already done so, first create a GatewayAPI account. Afterwards, create a Zapier account. Both can be created simply by logging in to your Gmail account.

Once you have both accounts in place, you can set up your first “Zaps” by following these steps:

• Go to your Zapier account
• Go to “My Apps” in the left menu
• Search for “GatewayAPI”
• Click on “Connect”
• Insert your API token

You can find your unique API token in your GatewayAPI dashboard under “API” → “API Keys” → “Get key / token”.

The following templates are available at the time of writing in our Zapier app. The templates will allow you to quickly set up “Zaps”. In addition, you can view them as inspiration on how SMS automation can be easily integrated into your business in the systems and services you use.
