In addition, by using Zapier, you can also connect Boxly with a variety of other platforms such as Google Drive, Trello, and Slack.

✅ Performing Action on your Zap with your Boxly Account

Let's take a scenario where the triggered app is your Gmail account and the actions are performed in your Boxly account.

In this scenario, we want to create new leads in a Boxly account whenever a new email arrives in a Gmail account.

The objective of this optimized Zap is to automate lead generation from incoming emails. By connecting Gmail and Boxly, we can streamline the process of capturing and managing leads, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing human errors.

1. The first step is to select the trigger app, which is Gmail in this case. The trigger app is responsible for initiating the Zap and generating the event that will activate the automation.

2. Within Gmail, we choose the specific event that will act as the trigger for the Zap. In this case, the trigger event is "New Email". This means that every time a new email arrives in the designated Gmail account, the Zap will be activated.

3. The action app is the Boxly in this scenario. It is the app where the desired action will take place when the Zap is triggered.

4. The action to be performed by the Boxly app is to create a new lead in the user's Boxly account. This entails extracting relevant information from the incoming email and inputting it into the appropriate fields in the Boxly lead form.

5. To ensure that the information from the Gmail email is accurately transferred to the Boxly lead form, you need to map the data fields correctly. This step establishes a connection between the data in Gmail and the corresponding fields in Boxly.

6. Before deploying the Zap, it's crucial to conduct thorough testing. This involves running the automation with sample data to ensure that the lead creation process functions as intended and that all data is correctly transferred.

By setting up this optimized Zap, users can save time, reduce manual work, and ensure a more streamlined lead generation process. Automated workflows like this can significantly improve productivity and accuracy in various business processes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, connecting Boxly to Zapier with Zap can be a powerful way to automate your lead creation process and optimize your workflow. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can save valuable time and resources while ensuring your leads are created quickly and efficiently. And with the help of pre-built zaps, the process becomes even more seamless.
