LeagueApps integrates with Zapier, a web-app that powers integrations among thousands of other web-apps. How it can help you, is you can tell one app to perform an action when an event occurs in LeagueApps.
For example if you use Constant Contact, when a member creates an account you can have that member's information be automatically sent to your email marketing system.

What is Zapier?
Zapier is a service that connects thousands of webapps with a simple and intuitive workflow to simplify your operations and save you time — without the needing a software developer.
How it works
A Zap is a blueprint for a task you want to do over and over, such as exporting LeagueApps Members and importing them into an Email Service. In words, a Zap looks like this: "When I get a new thing in System A, do this other in System B."

Getting Started
In order to automate a process between LeagueApps and a third party app, you first need an account in the third party app and a Zapier account. We also suggest that you take the time to learn how to use the app and how to best set it up for your organization's needs.
Making a Zap
1. Create a free Zapier Account - sign up here
2. Click 'Make a Zap!'
3. Choose LeagueApps
(3a) This is where you choose a Trigger which is the event that starts a Zap, (ex: If you want to automate adding a New Member from LeagueApps to MailChimp each time a Member joins your LeagueApps site, choose the "New Member" trigger.)
Here are the Triggers that are currently offered:
(3b) You need a LeagueApps Site ID # and API Key to connect your LeagueApps Site.
4. Choose the App you want to automate
(4a) This is where you choose an Action which is an event a Zap performs
(4b) You need credentials to connect your account. This may be a Username/Password or the app may require an API Key.
5. Turn the Zap ON!
TIPS & TRICKS
Blank Fields = Catch-All
If you leave a field blank when setting up a Zap, it will act as a "catch-all" meaning that if you choose the New Registration trigger and you DO NOT fill in the Program Name field, then the New Registration trigger will fire for ALL programs on the site.
Filters
Filters are powerful if you want to narrow down the scenarios when a Zap should fire. For example, if I want Zapier to send an email to my staff every time a specific Role registers, I can add a Filter in between the Zap's Trigger and Action Steps. Learn more about filters.
Add a filter in between the Trigger and Action steps in a Zap, by clicking the + sign.
Then configure the filter to "Only continue if..." Use the logic to configure the filter as you wish. The below example will now only send an email when the site gets a New Registration for a Role = FREEAGENT.
Test Data
When building a Zap, there will be a "Test" step after setting up the trigger. In order for the test step to work, the LeagueApps site must have a recent activity that you are triggering on (Registration, New Member, etc.) In other words, if you are setting up a Zap with a New Registration trigger, then you should run a test registration through the site so that the Zap can pull in a recent registration.
This is very important if you are going to include Form Field information in your Zap. Custom Form Fields from LeagueApps may not show in Zapier, unless you have a recent Registration or Member that can be pulled in to Zapier as a test.
Program Multi-Select
It is possible to set up a Zap to fire for multiple programs. When setting up the New Registration trigger, click the + sign for the Program Name field, and you will be able to multi-select programs.
