Connecting your apps to Zapier

Before we can start building our automations, we need to connect our apps to Zapier to allow Zapier to retrieve and post data in them.

Important note

Knowing how your data and security are handled by Zapier is an important topic. Allowing Zapier access to your apps using authentication protocols is essential for Zapier to be able to perform task automations on your behalf. The credentials that you use to authenticate your apps so that Zapier can connect with them are stored with bank-level encryption. Zapier has created a comprehensive resource on data privacy and security, which you can read here: https://zapier.com/help/account/data-management/security-at-zapier.

App connection can be performed from two places:

• The My Apps link in the left sidebar.
• The Zap editor in our trigger, action, or search steps. We will cover this in more detail in the Creating your first Zap in the Zap editor section of Setting up your trigger step.
