⚠️ This feature is available on the Business Plan and higher.

Zapier allows you to automatically send ViralSweep entry data to thousands of apps—like Slack, Google Sheets, CRMs, and more.


Step 1: Connect ViralSweep to Zapier

When setting up your promotion:

  1. Go to Integrations → Add Service → Zapier

  2. Copy the following:

    • API Key

    • Promotion ID

You’ll use these in Zapier to connect your account.


Step 2: Create a Zap in Zapier

  1. Log in to your Zapier account

  2. Click Create Zap

  3. Search for ViralSweep and select it

  4. Choose New Entry as the Trigger Event

  5. Click Continue


Step 3: Enter Your ViralSweep Credentials

To connect your account:

  1. Click Sign in to ViralSweep

  2. Paste your:

    • API Key

    • Promotion ID

  3. Click Continue

Once connected, Zapier will be able to pull entry data from your promotion.


Step 4: Test the Trigger

Zapier will now test your connection.

  • If your promotion already has entries, Zapier will pull in a sample entry

  • If not, submit a test entry through your ViralSweep form

Once Zapier successfully retrieves data, click Continue


Step 5: Choose an Action App

Next, choose where you want your entry data to go.


For example, you could:

  • Send a Slack message when someone enters

  • Add entries to a Google Sheet

  • Create contacts in your CRM

If using Slack:

  1. Select your channel

  2. Customize the message

  3. Insert fields (like name or email) from ViralSweep

💡 You can connect ViralSweep to any app supported by Zapier.


Step 6: Test and Turn On Your Zap

  1. Run a test to confirm data is sent correctly

  2. Check your connected app (e.g., Slack) to verify the result

If everything looks good:

  • Turn on your Zap

From now on, every new entry in ViralSweep will automatically be sent to your connected app.


Troubleshooting Tips

If your Zap isn’t working as expected:

  • Double-check your API Key and Promotion ID

  • Make sure your promotion is live and receiving entries

  • Re-run the trigger test with a new test entry

  • Review field mappings in your action step
