Getting Started with SimpleTix + Zapier
Prepare Your SimpleTix Account
Before you begin, make sure you have:
-
An existing event on SimpleTix
-
Ideally a sample order or existing purchase for reference
This ensures you can specify which order information should be transferred, including any custom fields.
Access Your API Key
Go to Zapier Settings, or login to the Manager Portal, click on Settings in the top rail of your dashboard, from the left-hand menu, select Plug-Ins, locate and click on Zapier.
Look for your API Key - you’ll need this to connect SimpleTix to Zapier.
Set Up Your Zapier Account
Go to zapier.com and create an account or log in.
Once logged in, click the + sign and select Create Zap.
Connect SimpleTix as Your Trigger App
Search for and select “SimpleTix” as the app that initiates your trigger.
Choose the event that triggers your Zapier action. Common options include:
-
New Order - When a new purchase is made
-
New Attendee - When new attendees are added
When using “New Order,” you’ll generally receive data for the purchaser. With “New Attendee,” you’ll get data for each individual ticket holder.
Connect Your SimpleTix Account
You’ll be prompted to link your SimpleTix account. Enter your API key from Step 2.
After connecting, select the appropriate status for your trigger (e.g., Order Complete for New Order triggers).
Test the SimpleTix Connection
Zapier will perform a test to retrieve information from your latest order.
This confirms the account is connected properly and the automation will run correctly. Review the test data to ensure it contains the information you need.
Connect Your Destination App
Search for and select the app where you want to send SimpleTix data (Google Sheets, Salesforce, MailChimp, etc.).
Choose the appropriate action for that app (Create Spreadsheet Row, Create Contact, etc.).
Map Your Data Fields
Map the SimpleTix data fields to the corresponding fields in your destination app.
For example, match First Name, Last Name, Email, Event Title, Phone Number from SimpleTix to the appropriate fields in your destination app.
Test and Activate
Run a test to ensure data is flowing correctly between the apps.
If everything looks good, publish and turn on your Zap. You’re done!
