2. Connect your Zap to Monitoro

Now let's connect Zapier to Monitoro.

Open your project, and then head on to the Integrations tab. (If you don't have any integration rule, just click on + new integration rule)

Create a new event in your Monitoro project

You can customize the conditions that will trigger the integrations, or leave it to Any column changes by default (as shown in the screenshot above) to receive all changes.

3. Connect your Zap

Click on + trigger another service. If you already added a Zap before, you can choose it. To connect a new Zap, click on Connect a new service:

Create a Zapier account ‍

Get the URL you copied in step 1 and paste it here. Make sure to give your integration a name to remember it later.

Add the webhook URL ‍

Once you click on Connect this service, you can configure your integration as illustrated below, by mapping data from your project to your Zap.

Trigger your Zap to test it by clicking on Test connection.

Add the webhook URL ‍

Click on Connect and you're done!

Your zap will be automatically triggered when your project's data changes, and the conditions you set in step 3 are matching.
