What is a Zap? How to create a Zap?

Using Zaps could help you with the following daily tasks:

• Sending a receipt with Quickbooks, Xero, Freshbooks, etc., once the balance has been paid
• Updating your MailChimp newsletter subscribers with each new client
• Collecting your traveler's arrival time with Typeform and updating the booking
• Sending your travelers a reminder text message with Twilio 24 hours before the arrival
• And many more !

These connections created between the apps are called Zaps.

Two options to create a Zap :

• Use a template created by the BookingSync team (see next section)
• Or create a Zap from scratch

Every time you create a Zap, you have the possibility to test it to make sure it runs as you want it to. Zapier will run the Zap through a recent booking or event that happened in your BookingSync account.
Please note that the test will not work for an empty BookingSync account, a fake booking must be created via the website for example, in order to run the test.

BookingSync can be used as a trigger or as an action app.
