# Use Zapier to Connect to 1000's of Channels

Connect channels that we don't natively integrate with

With Zapier, you can automatically send leads from thousands of apps directly into Boxly. Whether you're using a webform, chatbot, spreadsheet, or booking tool, Zapier makes it easy to get leads into your inbox without manual effort.

**This guide will show you how to:**

-   Set up a **trigger** from any Zapier-connected app
    
-   Use the **Create Lead** action to send lead details into Boxly
    
-   Let Boxly **automatically route leads using AI**
    
-   Track the **lead source** with the **Entry Point URL**
    

## 🧠 What Does This Mean

* * *

When someone fills in a form, books an appointment, or submits data through your chosen tool:

-   A new lead is automatically created in Boxly
    
-   The conversation includes all the mapped information
    
-   The lead is sent to the right box and stage, either manually or by AI
    

## 🔧 Step 1 – Set Up the Trigger App

### 3\. Fill in the Lead Details

Once connected, you’ll see the form to map your lead data. Here's what each field means and how to use it:

-   **Zap Name**  
    This name will appear in the lead’s timeline in Boxly so you know which app created the lead  
    Example: “Webform – Invisalign Free Consult”
    
-   **Box Name (optional)**  
    Choose the specific box you want the lead to go into  
    Example: “Teeth Whitening” or “General Enquiries”  
    Leave it blank if you'd like Boxly’s AI to decide based on the message
    
-   **Box Stage (optional)**  
    If you know what the lead is about, pick the stage where the lead should be added  
    Example: “New Lead” or “Consultation Booked”  
    **Leave it empty to let the AI choose the most relevant stage**
    
-   **Full Name, Phone Number, Email (required)**  
    These are the minimum details required to create a lead in Boxly  
    Make sure you map these using your trigger app's data
    
-   **First Name / Last Name (optional)**  
    Use these if your form or tool collects names separately
    
-   **Entry Point URL (optional but recommended)**  
    Paste the link to the page or form where the lead submitted their details  
    This helps Boxly identify the source — whether it was from a landing page, ad, or your website
    
-   **Custom Fields**  
    You can map any question fields you've set up in Boxly (e.g. treatment type, budget, preferred date)
    
-   **Treatment Labels / Tags**  
    If you're using tags or labels (like "Invisalign", "Emergency", "Returning Patient"), you can include those here too

## 🤖 AI Routing (If Box and Stage Are Empty)

* * *

If you leave both the **Box Name** and **Box Stage** blank:

-   Boxly’s AI will read the message or mapped fields
    
-   The lead will be automatically routed to the right box and stage
    

This is ideal when you have multiple services, landing pages, or ad campaigns and want Boxly to organise leads for you

## ✅ Final Step – Test and Turn On

* * *

1.  Click **Continue**
    
2.  Test the action with your trigger data
    
3.  Click Turn on **Zap**
    

> **Info:** Your automation is now active. New leads will flow straight into Boxly with all the right details
