3. An app on Clappia

Follow this guide to create an app on Clappia. We will be pushing data to this Clappia app using Zapier. Keep a note of the app Id (you'll find it on the address bar of your browser) and the unique field names of the various fields that you would have added in the app.

Creating a Zap on Zapier

Once you sign in to Zapier, you can create Zaps. A basic zap in Zapier will have a Trigger from a specific web app and an Action in another web app. Here you'll see how to set one of the existing apps on Zapier as a Trigger and Clappia as an Action.

Click on the plus symbol on the left panel, that says "Create Zap".

Choose an app that you want to keep as the trigger for your Clappia app. We are using Google Sheets in the screenshot below.

Choose "New Spreadsheet Row".

Connect your Google Account from which you want to pull Google Sheets data.

Once you successfully authenticate your Google account, you will be prompted to select a Google Sheets Spreadsheet from your account. Select a spreadsheet and a worksheet and hit the Continue button

The Trigger is now set for your Zap.

We'll now add Clappia as an Action to this Zap. Select Clappia (1.0.2) in the drop-down.

If you don't see Clappia in the list of Zapier apps, make sure you have accepted the Invite in Prerequisite #2 listed above.

‍

Once you are able to select Clappia as the Action, you'll be prompted to connect your Clappia account to Zapier.

We will be using this app for reference.

Enter the app Id of your Clappia app in which you want to create a new submission.

In the Variables section, you can enter multiple key-value pairs. As the key, enter the unique field names of the app fields you wish to populate into the app. As the value, you can either put a static value or pull dynamic values from the Google Sheets Spreadsheet that you connected.

You can send some test data to your Clappia app.

You should see a success message with a submission Id. You will find this submission in the Clappia app that you provided above. Click on publish button to publish your Zap app.
