  • Trigger actions: Set up actions in Z360 that automatically trigger based on activities in external apps, such as creating a new task in Trello when a sales inquiry is submitted.
  • Centralize communication: Integrate Slack or Zendesk to manage team communications and support tickets within Z360, ensuring no customer request goes unnoticed.
  • Increase productivity: Automate repetitive tasks like sending out emails with Mailchimp, updating CRM records in Salesforce, or scheduling meetings through Google Calendar.

Manage Integrated Actions

    Once the integration is set up, click View Actions to review the actions linked to the external service. You’ll see a list of all integrated tools and the actions that have been configured.

    If you no longer need an integration, you can easily remove integrated actions. Click Delete or Disconnect to stop syncing data with the third-party service.

Tips
