Setting up Zapier form integration

Zapier is an automation tool that connects multiple services. You can set up transferring data from one source to another without writing a single line of code.

Data submitted via form in a Discord channel


For example, you can translate all your incoming DMs in a social network to a CRM. Or send a notification in Discord when you get a new email.

You can create tricky multi-step combinations with all their 5000+ integration options and turn your forms into a powerful marketing machine.

Pair this with the sweetest landing page builder in the world and you will become unstoppable! 😈

So how to pair Zapier with Unicorn Platform?




This guide will teach you how to collect visitor emails using Unicorn Platform's beautiful forms and send them to Discord via Zapier.

Pairing with Discord is described as an example. But in fact, you can connect any application offered by Zapier that suits you best.
