Some Common Uses for Zapier

Adding Members

Use Zapier to add members from your Forj Community into external platforms and databases (Forj Community -> Database)

• Update Member information in external CRMs like Salesforce or Zoho
• Add members into marketing campaigns in Mailchimp or other marketing platforms
• Add members into a payment campaign to upsell

Use Zapier to add new customers or members into your community  (Database -> Forj Community)

• Trigger a Zap that when a member upgrades their account to a paid account, they will be added into your community
• When a user signs up to your website, add them into your community

Updating Members

Use Zapier to update members from your Forj Community to external platforms and databases (Forj Community -> Database)

• Allow members to update their profile on Forj Community to update your records on external platforms or CRMs like Salesforce and Mailchimp.
• Allow you to have the most up to date information backed up in a google sheet
• Help plan and target campaigns to your members based on answers in their profile

Use Zapier to update fields in your member’s profile when you update information in an external platform (Database -> Forj Community)

• When a member pays for their membership, update a field in the member’s profile updating their last payment date
• When a member signs up for a course, add them to the respective group

Approving Members

Use Zapier to trigger an event when a member is approved into a group

•  Once a member is approved into a group, update external databases and add members into targeted campaigns and keep track of member movements.

*This is different from Add member as Approving Member is only triggered from the member database once a member is approved into a group.  Add Member is triggered when the member finishes filling out their registration form regardless if they are accepted.
