Why use Zapier with Karbon?

Zapier provides 'Triggers' and 'Actions' for each app that it supports, including Karbon. A 'Zap' combines a trigger from one app with an 'Action' in another. Whenever the trigger occurs, Zapier automatically completes the action for you.

Updating a contact's country field

Contact country information is saved as a two-letter country code, which applies to Zapier updates as well.

Karbon uses the two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) for country data saved to a Contact. This means that if you use a Zapier Trigger to update a Contact's country information, you will need to use the appropriate code.

Codes for common countries include:

  • Australia: AU

  • Canada: CA

  • New Zealand: NZ

  • South Africa: ZA

  • United Kingdom: GB

  • United States: US
