What is Zapier—and why should you care?
Zapier is the no-code glue that lets Rally.Fan talk to 6,000+ other apps. With a few clicks you can chain “Zaps” together so every sale, sign-up, or membership event inside Rally.Fan triggers something magical elsewhere—welcome emails, CRM updates, task boards, you name it. Translation: more passive revenue, less copy-pasting.

How to connect Rally.Fan to Zapier
(Example: Rally.Fan → Flodesk)
Heads-up before you start
Zapier will ask for a “sample” purchase to test the connection. Make sure you (or a friend) have recently checked out through your Rally.Fan store; otherwise Zapier won’t find any data and the test will fail.
Open Rally.Fan
Go to Settings ▸ Integrations and hit + Connect next to Zapier.
Land on the Rally.Fan + Zapier page
Click Try It to launch the Zap template.
Choose Rally.Fan as the Trigger app
Pick a trigger:
New Customer – fires on every new sale (most common).
New Membership – fires when someone starts a recurring plan.
Cancelled Membership – fires when a member stops paying.
Connect your Rally.Fan account
Sign in if prompted, then grant Zapier permission.
Run Zapier’s test
Zapier fetches your most recent customer to prove the link works.
Choose your Action app (e.g., Flodesk)
Log in, pick the desired action (add to segment, start workflow, etc.), and map fields like Email and First Name.
Turn on your Zap
Flip the switch and watch the automation run in real time.
Repeat steps 3–7 for any additional workflows—Rally.Fan can power as many Zaps as you can dream up.
