Automate tasks in Zapier

Easily automate manual tasks with the Stora Zapier app

Updated today

You can use the Stora Zapier app to automate tasks when something happens in Stora — no custom development required.

What does this let me do?

The Stora Zapier app lets Zapier react instantly when something happens in Stora.

Examples of triggers:

  • A booking is completed

  • An invoice is paid

  • A subscription is created or cancelled

  • A unit becomes allocated

  • A contact is created or updated

Zapier can then run automated actions in other tools.


Common automations customers build

Using the Stora Zapier app, customers commonly:

  • Send SMS or email notifications

  • Create or update CRM records

  • Add rows to Google Sheets

  • Trigger accounting or reporting workflows

  • Notify teams in Slack or Microsoft Teams

  • Sync customer or booking data between systems


How to connect Stora to Zapier

Step 1: Create a Zap

In Zapier:

  1. Create a new Zap

  2. Search for Stora as the trigger app

  3. Choose the trigger event you want (for example Booking Created or Invoice Paid)


Step 2: Connect your Stora account

  1. Click Sign in to Stora

  2. Accept the Zapier app connection

  3. Zapier will connect securely to your Stora account

Once connected, Zapier will be able to retrieve data from your Stora account for the selected trigger.


Step 3: Test the trigger

Zapier will ask you to test the trigger.

This retrieves a recent example record from Stora so you can see the data fields available in the automation.

For example:

  • booking details

  • customer information

  • unit information

  • payment data


Step 4: Build your automation

Once the trigger is working:

  1. Add one or more actions in Zapier

  2. Connect the other tools you want to automate (Slack, HubSpot, Google Sheets, etc.)

  3. Map the Stora data fields into those actions

When everything is configured, turn the Zap on.

Your automation will now run automatically whenever the selected event happens in Stora.


Do I need a developer?

No. Most Zapier automations can be set up without writing code.

Zapier provides a visual builder that allows you to connect Stora with hundreds of apps.

More technical users can build more complex workflows, but many customers start with simple automations and expand from there.


What to do next

  1. Decide what you want to automate

  2. Create a Zap using the Stora Zapier app

  3. Test the trigger and actions

  4. Turn the Zap on
