How to Connect Zaui to Zapier 

To connect Zaui to Zapier, you need to use Webhooks to send the event from Zaui to Zapier; then, Zapier can translate the data into one of the 1,500+ integrations.

1. You will first want to set up an account with Zapier.
2. In  Zapier, you will then want to create a Zap and select "Webhooks by Zapier". 
   
   
   
   
3. From there you can select the "Catch Hook".
   
   
   
   
4. And then, copy the Webhook URL that Zapier gives you:
   
   
   
   
5. Once you have copied the Webhook URL, return to your Zaui system and navigate to Settings > Webhooks
6. On the shortcuts panel, click on Create.
7. Enter the Name of the Web-Hook.
8. Tick the Enabled check-box to turn this connection on.
9. Paste the URL you got from Zapier in the Endpoint URL field: 
   
   
   
   
10. You can select the category and what event you want to trigger a webhook to be sent out.  They can be triggered on Bookings, Employee, Agent, Activity, Product, Package, Customers, Accounts, Inventory and Check-in.
11. In this example, we are going to be adding new bookings to a spreadsheet when they are created so we are going to set the webhook to fire off when bookings are created and sent as a JSON file. 
    
    
    
    
12. Once you have created your webhook in Zaui, depending on your event in your system, go and trigger the event (ie - create a booking for the example above). 
13. Once the event has been fired off, you will be able to see the request in Zappier once it has arrived:
    
    
    
    
14. Next, we are going to add in the step of populating a Google Sheet in Zapier by going to "Do this...", finding Google Sheets and then finding the specific spreadsheet we want to update with the booking data:
    
    
    
    
15. Once tested, the Zap will update the spreadsheet with the Activity Name, Time, Guest Name and Cost of the booking you just completed in Zaui. Tadda!
