Zapier Integration Information

 

Zapier is an automation tool that enables businesses to connect various web apps and services, allowing them to communicate and work together seamlessly. With Zapier, you can create automated workflows (known as "Zaps") that trigger actions in one app based on events in another app.

At Talkroute, we're excited to offer an integration with Zapier that allows our customers to send completed call data, text messages, and new voicemail message notifications to other apps in their workflow. Here are some examples of how you might use the Talkroute-Zapier integration:

  • Send completed call data to Google Sheets: With this Zap, every time a call is completed on Talkroute, the caller's information and call details will be automatically added to a Google Sheet. This can be incredibly helpful for tracking and analyzing your call data over time.

  • Get notified of new voicemails in Slack: With this Zap, you can receive a notification in Slack every time a new voicemail is left on Talkroute. This can help you stay on top of your messages and respond to them more quickly.

  • Save text messages to Airtable: With this Zap, you can automatically save all text messages to an Airtable database. This can be useful for keeping track of customer inquiries, feedback, or support requests.

Beta Feature

Please note that our Zapier integration is currently in a beta phase. We welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have as we work to improve this feature. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@talkroute.com. We are here to help!

 

How to get your personal access token

Let's guide you through the process of obtaining a Personal Access Token (PAT) from your Talkroute account. A PAT is a unique code that allows third-party services like Zapier to access your Talkroute account, so you can automate tasks and streamline your workflow. This is a quick and easy process that only takes a few minutes to complete.

    1. Login to your Talkroute Control Panel

      Login to your Talkroute Control Panel at Talkroute CP. Once you have entered your username and password, you will be taken to your account dashboard.

    2. Navigate to Your User Profile

      Next, you need to navigate to your User Profile page. To do this, click on the user icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen, then select user profile, or visit this link: Talkroute User Profile Page

    3. Copy Your Personal Access Token

      On the User Profile page, scroll down until you see the "Personal Access Token" section. Your unique code will be displayed. To copy it to your clipboard, simply click the "Copy to Clipboard" button.

And that's it! You now have your Talkroute Personal Access Token, which you can use to connect your Talkroute account to Zapier. Keep in mind that your PAT is sensitive information, so be sure to keep it secure and do not share it with anyone.

 

Permissions

Currently, only administrators can make Zaps with their PAT. Keep in mind that you need full access to the items you want to make Zaps for. For example, if you only have full access to voicemail box "D" and not boxes "A", "B", and "C", your Zaps will only work for new messages in voicemail box "D".
