Zapier lets you connect Livestorm to hundreds of other web services. Automated connections called Zaps, set up in few minutes without any code required, can automate your day-to-day tasks and build workflows between apps that otherwise wouldn't be possible.
Each Zap has a Trigger, where your information comes from and which causes one or more Actions in other apps, where your data gets sent automatically.

Create Your First Zap
Let's now create a Zap to connect Livestorm with another app of your choice, automate a workflow and save you time!

- 2

- 3
- Choose a trigger with Livestorm as an App & the Trigger Event you want, and click on Continue.
A trigger is an event that starts a Zap with a specific app. You can only choose 1 trigger per Zap. The trigger tells the Zap "when" to begin doing something.
We provide the following triggers with Livestorm app:
- New Registrant
- Event Published
- Session Started
- Session Ended
- Registrant Attended
- Registrant Didn't Attend
- Registrant Watched Replay (also applies for on-demand events)
- New Session Added (also applies when a new published event is created from scratch)

- Choose your Livestorm account ( or sign in to set up your Livestorm account with Zapier) and Continue.
- 5
- Test trigger to make sure the trigger works correctly and Continue.
- 6
- Now you get to select the action you want for your Zap with an App Event and an Action Event.
An action is a task that a Zap performs after it's triggered. The action tells the Zap "what" to do. You can add as many actions as you need in a Zap.
- 7
- Test and Continue to check if your action is working properly.
- 8
- Finally, Turn on Zap! You're Zap is now ready! 🎉In this example, we're showing you how to create a new Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets whenever someone registers for an event on Livestorm.
