What is Zapier?

Spark has a public integration with Zapier, a web-based automation tool that connects your favorite apps to create custom workflows. These automated workflows are called "Zaps."

Note: Zapier is not HIPAA compliant, so it can not be used to transfer Protected Health Information (PHI).

Benefits of Integrating Spark with Zapier

Integrating Spark with Zapier can help you save time by automating events and reducing data entry. For example, use a “Zap” to create new contacts in your Spark account based on specific triggers from your other marketing platforms:

Create contacts in the Spark Platform from:
- New event scheduled in Calendly
- New prospect from a Facebook ad campaign
- New prospect from third-party marketing system like GoHighLevel
- + thousands of other apps
You can also assign the new contact to another agent if applicable
