Zapier

Connect UserBit to 5000+ apps using Zapier

UserBit's partnership with Zapier allows you to create powerful integrations with 1000s of apps that you already use for your UX workflow. You can quickly set up powerful automations like bringing in data from Google Drive, publishing insights to Slack or even pushing interviews to your calendar.

Zapier integration is currently in Beta, if you're on a pro or enterprise plan, and would like to join our beta list, contact us at support@userbit.com.

How does it work?

Zapier allows you to set up what they call - Zaps. You can think of zaps like a statement:

if x happens, then do y

Within a zap, x is what is known as a trigger and y is an action. So how does this apply in real world? Here are a few examples:

  • If I create a new interview in UserBit (trigger), block that time on my Google calendar (action).
  • If I publish an insight on UserBit (trigger), create a new Jira ticket (action).
  • When I add a new file in Google Drive (trigger), cteate it as a note in UserBit (action).

How to set it up?

1. Get your workspace enabled for Zapier

Zapier integration is currently in Beta on UserBit so before you can get started, it would need to be enabled for your account. If you're on UserBit's Pro or Enterprise tier, simply reach out to support@userbit.com indicating that you're interested and we'll enroll you into our early adopter program.

2. Create a zapier account (if you don't have one already).

Zapier has various pricing tiers but the good news is, you can leverage their automation with UserBit even on their free plan. Once you log in, you can view the UserBit integrations here. You can either create your own Zap by clicking on the Connect UserBit to 5000+ apps button or scroll down to see some of the handy zap templates we've created for you.

3. Set up a zap

Let's say you picked one of the popular zaps - Email to UserBit Note. Here, everytime you forward an email to a zapier provided email address, the zap will automatically create a note within your UserBit project with the contents of the forwarded email. (Great way to keep track of important user feedback).
