Begin by generating an API key for Email API and granting the Zapier App Connector the required scope (e.g., users.write) so you can provision users and trigger associated automations.
In Zapier, connect your Email API account by signing in and authorizing the Zapier App Connector to access the data you intend to automate.
Endoints covered: POST /users/; DELETE /users/:userId; PUT /users/:userId; GET /workflows/ (readonly); GET /workflows/; POST courses/courses-exporter/public/import
Trigger: a new user is added in Email API, starting a Zap to provision the user in downstream systems.
Actions: Create user (POST /users/), update user (PUT /users/:userId), delete user (DELETE /users/:userId).
POST /users/ to create a user; PUT /users/:userId to update; DELETE /users/:userId to remove.
Key fields: userId, email, name, status.
Trigger: workflow updates in Email API sync with downstream apps.
Actions: Retrieve workflows (GET /workflows/), refresh and trigger executions as needed.
GET /workflows/ to fetch available workflows.
Key fields: workflowId, name, status, lastUpdated.
Trigger: a course is exported or imported via the API.
Actions: Import course data (POST courses/courses-exporter/public/import), export catalogs, track progress.
POST courses/courses-exporter/public/import
Key fields: courseId, title, importStatus.
No coding required to link users, workflows, and courses between Email API and Zapier App Connector.
Pre-built endpoints and triggers reduce setup time and risk, enabling rapid automation.
Centralized automation across services improves team productivity and data consistency.
This glossary covers core concepts: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used by the Email API and Zapier App Connector.
A set of endpoints that lets apps exchange data with Email API and perform operations on users and workflows.
A URL path and HTTP method used to perform a specific action against Email API.
OAuth2-based authorization for secure access to the Email API from Zapier App Connector.
An event-driven callback that notifies an app when something happens in Email API.
Automatically enroll new users into a welcome workflow when a signup occurs in Email API.
Sync subscription status to email campaigns and triggers for timely communications.
Notify teams when course content changes or is added to keep everyone aligned.
Log in to both services, obtain API keys, and run a quick test to confirm the connection.
Map Email API fields to Zapier fields for each action to ensure correct data flow.
Create a test Zap, enable it, and monitor logs for any issues or retries.
Mostly no-code. You can connect Email API to Zapier App Connector and configure actions using the UI. Some basic field mapping may be needed for your specific workflow. If you need advanced logic, you can still leverage Zapier’s built-in features without writing code. You’ll manage users, workflows, and courses through a few simple steps in the setup screen. The goal is to empower non-developers to automate repetitive tasks quickly.
You can sync user data (create, update, delete), read workflow definitions, and manage course imports/exports. Data fields like userId, email, name, workflowId, and courseId are commonly mapped. If your system holds additional attributes, you can extend mappings in Zapier to fit your data model.
Yes. All authentication uses secure methods with access tokens. Keep API keys private and use OAuth where supported. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor activity to detect unusual requests.
If authentication fails, verify the API key and scope (e.g., users.write). Re-authenticate in Zapier, ensure the account has permission, and check for any endpoint deprecations. Review logs in Zapier and the Email API dashboard to pinpoint errors.
Absolutely. Zapier allows you to reuse existing zaps. You can integrate the Email API actions into current workflows and build upon them without starting from scratch. Just re-map steps if data fields differ.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan your automations with batching where possible and implement retries with exponential backoff. If you hit limits frequently, consider staggering actions or upgrading your API plan.
API endpoint details are shown in the Key Endpoints section of this guide. You’ll find the exact paths (e.g., POST /users/, GET /workflows/) and their purposes there. For any updates, consult the Email API documentation or the integration setup page in Zapier.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
