The Zapier Addon lets you send data to WPfomify on your WordPress website from any web application and display the notifications.

Before we begin, make sure you have the Zapier add-on installed and activated. If it is not installed, you can easily install it by going to WP admin > WPfomify > Add-ons. Then click on the install button.

Once you have the addon installed, we can go ahead.

Creating the Zap

Follow the instructions to connect your Trigger App with your website/app. You will receive a notification of a successful connection as shown below.

Step 3 – Setting up Action App. Now, connect with the Action app. This is where we need to use WPfomify app.

Select WPfomify Beta app and continue.

Now, we need to connect the WPfomify app with your WordPress website where you have WPfomify plugin active. To do this, click the Connect Account button.

It will open up a popup as shown below:

We need to fill the following information:

1. API Key – you can find this from WP admin > WPfomify > Settings > Advanced Tab.
