Creating Your First Zap
To get started head over to Zapier and login or create a new Zapier account if you don’t already have one.
You can click the button to create a new Zap and when asked to choose an App make sure to search for ThriveCart and use the ThriveCart [BETA] app as shown in the screenshot below.
Note. If you have previously used our older Zapier app, you may be another ThriveCart app listed with [by invite]. You do not want to select this app. It will still work for existing Zaps but moving forward, we recommend new Zaps are creating using the newer app.
After selecting ThriveCart, you’ll then want to select what trigger you want to use (see above for the full list). If you can’t see the trigger you want to use, make sure to click the ‘show more events’ button to see a list of all the triggers available for you.
If this is the first time you’re connecting with Zapier, you’ll need to connect your ThriveCart account with your Zapier account. You can do that by clicking the button shown.
If you have access to more than one ThriveCart account, you will be required to select which account you’re wanting to integrate with this Zapier account.
Note. If you’re a sub-users on another account, the only products and data for Zaps you’ll have access to is the products the account owner has granted you access to in their account.
Once your account is selected, you’ll now have the option to select how the Zap triggers. Different triggers may have different filtering options, but they typically include things like:
- Selecting a specific product or products (leave blank for all).
- Selecting which payment option to trigger for (when you select one product for the zap to trigger for).
- Setting the Zap to only trigger for a specific coupon (leave blank for all).
- Setting the Zap to trigger if the customer agrees to the optional checkbox (leave blank to always trigger).
- Setting the Zap to trigger if a specific affiliate referred the sale (leave blank for all).
- Setting the Zap to trigger by the product status, such as only live orders or including orders in test mode (leave blank for all).
Finally, you’ll have the step to collect samples and use these in your action step. If you have had any orders or events occur for the trigger recently then clicking the [test trigger] button will pull that recent sample though. Otherwise you can default to a demo set of data.
If in doubt, go to the checkout and trigger the event you’re setting up (like completing a purchase for a product purchase trigger).
You’ll be given a ton of data you can reference in your Zaps.
The specific data will vary based on the product and purchase. For example, subscription order are going to contain more information about future recurring payments, expected rebill dates, the frequency of payments and more!
When testing a trigger in Zapier it will pull the latest sample data from your account for that event. It will not take into consideration any filters you’ve set in the customize step.
For example, you set your Zap to trigger for Product A.
On the testing step, the order data pulls through from Product X.
This is because the last order in your account was for Product X. If you specifically need to get the data for Product A (if you need to refer to specific fields only in that checkout) then you’ll want to complete a test order of Product A, then retest in Zapier to get new sample data.
The filter option to only trigger on Product A will only occur when the Zap has been turned on.
You’re then able to go ahead and set up your Action step in Zapier to integrate with your chosen application as needed.
If when wanting to reference order information from ThriveCart, you can’t see all the data, remember to click the [Show all Options] button.
This will then let you scroll through the list of possible data available to you. If the order sample we collected has data for the specific value, it’ll show there, but you may reference things that weren’t collected in that specific sample and have that data collected in future Zaps where it is included (like Affiliate information that may only be applicable for some orders).
