What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects your apps and services. You can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build the integration. You can use Zapier to connect Hyperline to heaps of other tools your team is using such as your CRM, your accounting software, your product, and more.

​
What is a Zap?

A Zap is an automated workflow that connects your apps and services together. Each Zap consists of a trigger and one or more actions. When you turn your Zap on, it will run the action steps every time the trigger event occurs.

​
Trigger and action

A trigger is an event that starts a Zap, an action is an event a Zap performs after it is triggered. For example, if you want to create an account in your CRM each time a customer is created in Hyperline, the trigger is “Customer Created” which will trigger the action “Create an account in CRM”. You can use the Hyperline app in Zapier to automate things like creating new customers from CRM, sending invoices to your accounting software, or pushing usage data into Hyperline. Learn more about the basics of using Zapier.

​
Available triggers

The Hyperline Zapier app can start a Zap from several Hyperline events. The exact list available in Zapier depends on your app version, but the most common triggers are:
TriggerWhen it runs
Customer CreatedA customer is created in Hyperline.
Invoice CreatedAn invoice is created in Hyperline.
Invoice ReadyAn invoice is finalized and ready to be paid.
Invoice PaidAn invoice is settled.
Subscription CreatedA subscription is created.
Subscription ActivatedA subscription becomes active.
Payment Method CreatedA customer adds or starts adding a payment method.
Payment Method ActivatedA payment method becomes usable for future payments.
Payment Method DeletedA payment method is removed from the customer.
If your automation needs to react as soon as a customer enters a payment method, listen to Payment Method Created. Payment Method Activated only runs once the payment method is confirmed and usable.
