Buzz offers a variety of powerful integrations, including Zapier — a tool that connects Buzz to other apps not natively integrated. Learn how Zapier can help optimize your workflow below.
In this guide, we will walk you through connecting Zapier to your Buzz account, creating your first Zap, and getting it running smoothly.
How to Connect Zapier to Buzz
Navigate to the Integrations tab in Buzz, then select Automation and click Connect under the Zapier option.
Once connected, click Manage to receive your unique Zapier token.
You will be presented with a unique Zapier token that you need to copy.
Copy the token, go to your Zapier account, and choose Buzz from the available apps.
Paste the token on the Select the Event page to complete the integration.
After a successful connection, you will see your Buzz account linked in Zapier.
Please note that the Zapier integration applies specifically to the Social account linked to your Buzz workspace.
How to Create your First Zap
Start by deciding when you want the automation to occur. The question to ask yourself here is, "What do I want my trigger to be?"
In your Zapier account, pick a trigger from the available options:
With Labels, there are some things you might want to keep in mind:
If you want to trigger based on labels applied to prospects, first navigate to Integrations > Zapier > Manage > Webhook Settings and toggle on the labels you wish to use.
Now, let's create your first Zap, using "Add Label" as an example.
Select Buzz as the source app and choose "Add Label" as the trigger.
Connect your Buzz account (if you haven’t already), click Continue, then Test trigger, then Continue with selected record.
For instance, you want all prospects with a specific label to be added to a Google Sheet.
Before proceeding, ensure you have prepared the Google Sheet with appropriate headers (e.g., Name, Phone, Position).
For example, your headers may look something like this:
3. Click on the second step to add an action.
4. Under Select the event, choose Google Sheets.
5. Next, under Action event choose Create Spreadsheet Row and then connect your Google account (the one where your previously created Google Sheet is stored):
6. Configure the following:
Drive: Select the Google Drive containing your sheet.
Spreadsheet: Choose the specific sheet you want to update.
Worksheet: Select the worksheet within the spreadsheet.
As you scroll down, you will see the headers you have previously set up in your spreadsheet. For each one, you can map a corresponding field from Buzz. Zapier will then automatically pull the relevant information from these fields. To learn how to configure these fields in Buzz, check out this article.
7. Once your fields are mapped, click Continue to proceed, test the step, and click Publish. Your Zap is now live!
8. Go back to your Buzz account (keep in mind that you must use the same Social account you have connected to Zapier). Choose the prospects you wish to add to your spreadsheet and apply the designated tag on their info page. Make sure you configure your tags beforehand in the Webhook settings.
The data will sync within a few minutes, and a new row will be added for each tagged prospect.
Zapier offers many other use cases, and we have covered just one in this article. This integration within Buzz is incredibly powerful, enabling you to make the most of Buzz’s robust features.
