Zapier Triggers allow Hoops to automatically send information to other apps whenever something happens inside your account.
A Trigger is the event that starts an automation workflow (called a “Zap” in Zapier).
For example:
A new Customer is created in Hoops
A new Job is created in Hoops
Once the trigger occurs, Zapier can automatically perform actions in other connected platforms such as Mailchimp, Slack, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Shopify, and thousands more.
Available Hoops Zapier Triggers
The available triggers in Hoops may continue to expand over time, but currently include events such as:

How Triggers Work
Every Zap starts with a Trigger.
Example:
Trigger
New Customer in Hoops
↓
Action
Create Subscriber in Mailchimp
When a customer is added in Hoops, Zapier automatically sends the customer information to Mailchimp without requiring manual data entry.
Multi-Step Automations
Zapier also allows you to create multi-step workflows.
For example:
New Job in Hoops
Create a Trello card
Send a Slack notification
Create a Google Calendar event
Add the customer to a spreadsheet
All from a single Hoops trigger.
Polling vs Instant Triggers
Some Zapier triggers operate using polling, which means Zapier checks Hoops periodically for new information.
Depending on your Zapier plan, this may occur every few minutes.
This means some automations may not run instantly on lower Zapier plans.
Setting Up a Trigger
To create a Hoops trigger in Zapier:
Log in to your Zapier account
Create a new Zap
Select Hoops CRM as the Trigger app
Choose the Trigger event
Connect your Hoops account
Test the trigger

Once enabled, Zapier will automatically monitor Hoops for matching events.
