Zapier Integration

Zapier helps you automate the most tedious parts of your daily work. It is a platform that connects various applications using webhooks and APIs, eliminating the need for coding. This application processes data sent by MyTime via webhooks and interacts with MyTime partners' APIs. In this article, we will guide you through the integration process between Zapier and MyTime.
 

Things to know:

You must have webhooks and partner APIs enabled on both the parent and child accounts. To learn more about webhooks, view here and partner API, here

Creating a Zap

A Zap is an automated workflow that links your apps and services. Each Zap includes a trigger and one or more actions. Once activated, the Zap will carry out the action steps each time the trigger event happens.

To create a new Zap:

  1. From the Zapier home page, click on "+Create" and then select "Zaps" at the top of the page, or click "Zaps" in the left-hand panel.
    • + Create: Clicking "+Create" and then "Zaps" will take you directly to the page where you can create a new Zap
    • Zaps:  Clicking "Zaps" in the left panel takes you to the My Zaps page, where you can add a new Zap using various options
      • Clicking the "+ Create a personal folder" button or the "+ button" next to My Zaps will open a "Add new personal folder" popup, where you can enter the folder's name and then click "Done."                                         
      • Once done, you can create a new Zap using the following highlighted options in the screenshot below:             
      • Clicking the "+Create" button and then "New Zap" will take you directly to the page for creating a new Zap.
      • You can also use the search bar to find pre-made Zap templates available within your account.
  2. On the untitled Zap page, click the dropdown arrow at the top to name the ZAP
  3. Click the triggers option to add an event. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow in Zapier,  the "cause" that kicks off the automation. When a specific event happens in one app, it triggers the automation process
     
  4. Select MyTime from the pop-up with the list of apps
  5. The app selected will then be reflected on the trigger option
  6. In the right-hand panel, search for an event
  7. Click 'Continue'
  8. Click 'Test Trigger'
  9. Appointments from your scheduler will be generated for you to select
  10. You will then be redirected to select an app for your action. An action is what happens after the trigger—the "effect" that Zapier performs in response to the trigger. Once the trigger event occurs, the action is executed in another app
  11. In this example, we selected the Google Sheet. This choice will then be reflected in the right-hand panel and used for your action
  12. Once again, choose an event
  13. Your selection will be reflected. Click 'Continue'
  14. Sign in to Google Sheets by clicking "Sign in." A new tab will open, allowing you to complete the sign-in process.
  15. When the right-hand panel refreshes, enter the title name for the spreadsheet, select the spreadsheet to copy, and input the headers. Then click "Continue."
  16. The details of the spreadsheet will be displayed, click 'Test Step'
  17. Publish steps
Once a Zap is created on Zapier (a Zap being an integration flow between various applications), data is transferred between applications without the need to maintain a server or write code. 
 
In the steps shared above, I was able to book multiple appointments, and all of them were added to the Google Sheet linked to the Zap.
