Developers : Using Zapier to Trigger Events in Stax

Learn how to use Zapier to create or modify information in your Stax Account.

Zapier is an application that is used to connect apps into customized workflows that are meaningful for your business. Anytime you want a specific action to take place between Stax and another application, you can use Zapier to create a "Zap" to accomplish the integration.

In order to integrate Stax with Zapier, you will need a Zapier account and access to the Stax API, Webhooks, and API Keys. Your Stax account may need to be upgraded to access these features. Please reach out to support by email at support@fattmerchant.com or through chat for access.

 

Below are the steps for using Zapier when an event occurs in another platform and you need that event to trigger something happening in your Stax account.
