What is Zapier?

Zapier allows you to integrate different tools with each other and set up automations, even if these tools don’t have a native integration. These automations (called “Zaps”) contain a trigger and an action. They follow the logic “If this happens in software 1, then this should happen in software 2”.

What can I do with the Zapier integration?

This is the first version of our new Zapier integration. As of now, Taskworld can only be used as a trigger, not as an action. We are planning to add more functionalities in the future and would love to hear your ideas about “Zaps” that your team would benefit from. Submit your feature request to support@taskworld.com and we’ll keep you posted on future improvements to this integration.

What triggers can be used?

The current version of our Zapier integration supports trigger events that are connected to the notification system in Taskworld, such as:

  • You’ve been assigned to a task.

  • You’ve been added as a follower to a task.

  • Someone commented on your task.

  • A due date has been added or updated for your task.

  • Task was completed.
