      1. How does the Zapier and ShippyPro integration work

       

      Zapier lets you connect ShippyPro to 3,000+ other web services. Automated connections called “Zaps”, which you can set up in minutes with no coding, can automate your day-to-day tasks and build workflows between ShippyPro and other Apps that otherwise wouldn't be possible.

      Each Zap has one app as the “Trigger”, where your information comes from and which causes one or more “Actions” in other apps, where your data gets sent automatically.

      2. How to connect ShippyPro to Zapier 

       

      1. Firstly, select Zapier app from Integrations > Plugin. You should see your API Key in the box above. Click on the button Confirm to save the connection.

      2. Sign up for a free Zapier account. If you already have one, just log in.

      3. Navigate to My Apps from the top menu bar.

      4. Now click on Add connection and search for "ShippyPro"

       

      5. Use the generated API Key to connect Zapier to your ShippyPro account 🔑

      4. Errors & Troubleshooting

       

      Error: Unfortunately your Zap ShippyPro Update Notifications could not be switched on. Please try enabling it again, and if you still experience issues, get help.

      In this case you'd need to select the option as enabled, then whenever an update will be available it will work.

      Indeed, if you try to make a test Zapier will directly make a call to us, and if there aren't updates the test will eventually fail.

       

      Authentication failed: the app returned 401

      Please make sure that you clicked on Zapier logo from Integrations > Plugin section, and then confirmed the connection by clicking on "Confirm" - that will activate the API key.

      Once you make the connection, you should complete the configuration inside Zapier at the following link > ShippyPro Zapier APP and use the generated key to complete the setup.
