KanBo and Zapier integration

Last modified: 3 years ago

KanBo and Zapier integration allows you to automate KanBo actions by building Zaps.

Preparing a Zap

1. In Zapier, select Make a Zap!

2. Give your Zap a name.

3. Enable your Zap.

4. Select a trigger - in our case, it would be Microsoft Outlook.

5. Now configure your trigger (it can be a KanBo trigger or external trigger). In our case Zap will be triggered when a new email comes - which is an external trigger.

6. When your trigger is configured, you can start adding actions. Select KanBo.

7. Now you can start configuring and running actions.

Triggers configuration

You can use external triggers (for example: new item in SharePoint list, new email in Outlook etc.) or KanBo trigger.

There are 6 KanBo triggers:

New card created in list

Card moved to a list

User added to a card

Labels added to a card

Card gets completed

Card is overdue

General configuration for every action

When you select an action, you must always choose the action event.

You must also select an account you will use for performing actions.

The last step special for every action would be configuring parameters - this is described in the next section of this manual.
