# Zapier

> Connect the Introw Zapier integration and build no-code automations from partner events.

**Open in Introw:** [Integrations](https://app.introw.io/settings/integrations)

## How it works

Introw connects to Zapier through an API key. In Zapier, you create a Zap that either starts from an Introw **trigger** (something happened in your program) or ends in an Introw **action** (create or update something in Introw). Each Zap pairs an Introw step with steps in your other apps, so events flow automatically once the Zap is turned on.

You manage the connection from Introw's integration settings, and you build the automations themselves in Zapier.

  apps --> action["Introw action"]
```

## Prerequisites

* A Zapier account.
* An Introw API key with the permissions the automation needs. See [API Keys](/features/developer/api).
* Permission to manage integrations in Introw.

## Settings & configuration

The connection is managed under **Integrations** in Introw and inside Zapier.

**API key** is how Zapier authenticates to Introw. Create a key with the right permissions in Introw, then paste it when Zapier asks you to connect your Introw account.

**Triggers** are the Introw events a Zap can start from, such as a new partner or a registered deal. You pick the trigger when you build the Zap in Zapier.

**Actions** are the operations a Zap can run in Introw, such as creating or updating a record. You configure the action's fields in the Zap.

## Setup walkthrough

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an API key">
    In Introw, create an [API key](/features/developer/api/guides/create-and-manage-api-keys) scoped to what the automation needs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Introw in Zapier">
    In Zapier, add Introw and paste the API key to authenticate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build a Zap">
    Choose an Introw trigger or action and pair it with your other apps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test and turn on">
    Test the Zap with a sample, then turn it on.
  </Step>
</Steps>

    Generate a Zapier API key, connect the Introw app in Zapier, and build a Zap from a partner event so onboarding, notifications, and syncs run automatically.

## Limits & gotchas

<Warning>
  Zapier actions run with the permissions of the API key you connect, so scope the key to only what the automation needs. If a key is revoked, every Zap using it stops until you reconnect with a new key.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

* **Zapier cannot connect** - confirm the API key is valid and has the needed permissions.
* **A trigger never fires** - re-test the Zap in Zapier and confirm the event actually occurs in Introw.
* **An action fails** - check that the required fields are mapped in the Zap.
