Zapier Integration

You can now integrate any tool your team uses with BrandChamp using our Zapier integration.

We created our Zapier integration to help your team streamline your work and create an easier and faster way to manage your BrandChamps and program.

You have four different events to choose from when creating your Zaps:

Applicant Applied
BrandChamp Added
BrandChamp Removed
BrandChamp Updated

With these four events, you can set up several triggers and connect BrandChamp to your team's most essential tools.

Below is the step-by-step process of integrating your BrandChamp account with Zapier.

Step 1: Create a New Zap and Set Up Trigger

From your Zapier account, hit “Create a Zap” and create your Trigger.

Search for BrandChamp in the search bar and then select BrandChamp.

Once you have selected BrandChamp, you can choose the event you want to trigger.

You have four options for events:

Applicant Applied: You can use this event to trigger when someone applies to join your program. The event includes answers to any application form questions.
BrandChamp Added: You can use this event to trigger when a new applicant is approved, or a previously removed applicant is restored. The event includes answers to any application form questions.
BrandChamp Removed: You can use this event to trigger when a BrandChamp is removed from your program or a previously approved applicant is rejected.
BrandChamp Updated: This event can trigger when BrandChamp details are updated.

You could create a Zap for each event above that corresponds to the BrandChamp's life cycle.

For this example, we will use the “Applicant Applied” event to track signups to the program.

Once you select your event, hit “Continue.”

Step Two: Add the Account ID and API Key

Next, Zapier will ask you to choose an account. Hit “Choose” and select “BrandChamp (1.0.0)” from the dropdown list.

After selecting BrandChamp from the list, connect your BrandChamp account. To do this, you must add the Account ID and API Key from your BrandChamp to your Zapier account.

To get the Account ID and API Key, log into your BrandChamp account, go to Settings > Integrations, and hit “Connect” to get the Account ID and API Key.

After you hit connect, a screen will appear with the Account ID and API Key.

Once you have those two values, navigate back to Zapier and add those two keys when prompted.

After adding these two values, you can test your trigger.

Step Three: Perform a Test Trigger

Now, it’s time to test the trigger.

A test trigger will show you that the API key is working correctly. For this example, you can see that the integration has been working since Zapier pulled our three most recent applicants from BrandChamp.

Hit “Test Trigger.” If everything works correctly, Zapier will pull an example applicant from your pool of applicants.

Select the record you wish to use for the test and hit “Continue with Selected Record.”

Once the test is done, it’s time to set up your action.

Step 4: Set Up Your Action

Now that you have performed your test trigger, you can set up any further actions or integrations with BrandChamp to other apps you use. For this example, we will create an action using Slack.

Under the “Actions” section, search for Slack.

Once selected, you can select the event you want to trigger in Slack. For this example, I will select “Send Channel Message” to get alerted via Slack whenever we get a new applicant to our program.

Once you hit “Continue,” choose the appropriate Slack channel to receive your notifications.

Then, you will need to fill out all of the action fields.

First, select a channel you want your message to go to. Then, customize the message you want to be sent to your Slack when there is a new applicant. See the image below for an example!

Customize the rest of the fields and then hit “Continue.”

Step 5: Test Your Action

Before you test your action, review that all fields are set up correctly, then hit “Test Action.”

If set up correctly, you should receive a Slack message from Zapier to the designated channel.

If you are happy with the test, hit “Publish,” and you will create your new Zap!
