Zapier is a no-code automation platform that lets you connect Swift to 6,000+ other tools — no developer needed. Use it to automate repetitive tasks, send notifications, sync data, and more.

Anytime you want to extend Swift's core capabilities, or implement custom automations (welcome emails, text message campaigns, etc.), using the Zapier integration is a great first step.

Example use-cases include:

The possibilities are endless 🚀

Every automation in Zapier is called a Zap, and each Zap is made up of two parts:

You can chain multiple actions together, so one trigger can kick off several things at once.

A trigger in Zapier is an "event" that's fired every time a certain "thing" occurs in the software. For example, for Gmail, examples of triggers include:

In Swift, examples of triggers can include:

You can set up automations in Zapier (known as Zaps) by "listening" to these triggers, and then performing certain actions.

An action in Zapier is, as the name implies, an action, change, or update in the software. For example, examples of Gmail actions can include:

Similarly, examples of actions in Swift can include:

By chaining triggers and actions together, you can create a ton of different automations for your business.

At the moment, the following triggers and actions in Swift will show up on Zapier.

Swift does not currently support any Zapier actions (i.e. you can't create or update Swift records from Zapier yet).

This list is constantly getting updated, so be sure to check it often if there's a specific Swift trigger or action you're looking for. Or reach out to us and let us know!

To get setup, we first need to create your Zapier credentials. This will allow Zapier to authenticate your Swift account, and give it permission to pull data from it.

To do this, in Swift Admin, go to Settings > Integrations. You'll need to be the Owner of the account, or have the appropriate permissions to view this page.

Once on the Integrations page, click on the Create Credentials button. Your Login Credentials for Zapier, which consists of an Application ID and Integration Key, will be generated and displayed on screen.

Once you've created your credentials, you can now visit Zapier to create your Zapier account and build your first Zap (automation).

Start by creating a free Zapier account, or sign in if you've already set an account up before.

The Swift integration is currently private on Zapier, which means if you search for Swift on their directory - it will not show up.

This will change soon - but until it's publicly listed, you can click on this invite link to access the app. You'll need to do this to connect to Swift in Zapier!

Once you've logged in and accepted the invite, start by clicking the "+ Create" button on the top left, and clicking "Zap".

This will put you in the Zap editor, which is a screen that looks like this:

Start by setting up the trigger, and searching for Swift. You should see it there once you've accepted the invite (see above).

To setup the trigger, we first need to identify which "event" to trigger the Zap on. The list of events shown here will be based on the "Swift Triggers & Actions" list above.

Let's go with the customer.created event as an example,

Then, connect your Swift account to Zapier by entering the two keys ("Application ID" and "Integration Key) shown on the Settings > Integrations page of Swift.

Once the account is connected, an important step is to skip the trigger test. This is important - you'll see an error if you hit "Test" but just ignore it, the zap will work regardless. Skip the test and move on.

Once the trigger has been setup, you can now connect any other platform as the corresponding action! This can be Mailchimp, Gmail, Close, or any one of the other 6000+ tools that Zapier integrates with.

Let your imagination run wild with the automations you'd want to create. Once you're ready, just hit publish and the Zap will be live!
