Zapier

A Zapier plugin card is a connection between two or more apps that automates a task. A Zapier plugin card can be helpful if inserted in Journey because it can allow you to trigger actions in other apps based on events in WhatsApp or vice versa.

Using Zapier Card In Journey

Add a Zapier card to the journey whose data you want to store under Zap and later on perform an action as desired.

Your Zapier card might be inactive. Follow the steps below to activate and store the attributes.

Different Events Explained

Custom Actions (Beta): This event allows you to create a new action using AI. You can specify the input fields, output fields, and the logic of the action. This is a beta feature and may not work as expected.
Add Note to Subscriber: This event adds a new note to an existing subscriber in your MailChimp audience. You can use this to keep track of any information or feedback related to the subscriber.
Add Subscriber to Tag: This event adds an email address to a tag within an audience in your MailChimp account. Tags are labels that you can use to organize and segment your subscribers. Note: the email address must already be subscribed to the audience, or this will fail.
Add/Update Subscriber: This event adds a new subscriber to an audience of your choosing in your MailChimp account. You can also use this to update an existing subscriber’s information, such as name, address, or preferences.
Archive Subscriber: This event archives an existing subscriber in your MailChimp audience. Archiving a subscriber removes them from your active subscriber count, but keeps their data in your account. You can unarchive them later if needed.
Create Campaign: This event creates a campaign draft in your MailChimp account. A campaign is a message that you send to your subscribers, such as a newsletter, an announcement, or a promotion. You can customize the content, design, and settings of your campaign before sending it.
Create Custom Event: This event creates a custom event for an existing subscriber in your MailChimp audience. A custom event is a specific action that a subscriber takes, such as making a purchase, signing up for a webinar, or completing a survey. You can use custom events to trigger automations, segment your audience, or track your goals.

Remove Subscriber from Tag: This event removes an existing subscriber by email address from a tag within an audience in your MailChimp account. This can help you to update your subscriber’s interests, preferences, or status. Note: the email address must already be subscribed to the audience, or this will fail.
Send Campaign: This event sends a campaign draft in your MailChimp account. This action sends an email to everyone signed up to the campaign’s audience. Are you trying to send an email to just one person? Set up an automation within MailChimp and assign the welcome email to a tag. Then assign that tag to your customer with the Add Subscriber To Tag action.
Unsubscribe Email: This event unsubscribes an email address from an audience of your choosing in your MailChimp account. This removes the subscriber from your active subscriber count and prevents them from receiving any future emails from you. You can also delete the subscriber’s data from your account if you want.
API Request (Beta): This is an advanced event which makes a raw HTTP request that includes this integration’s authentication. You can use this to perform any action that is supported by the MailChimp API, such as creating, updating, or deleting resources. This is a beta feature and may not work as expected.
