Zapier Integration

Overview

You can now use Zapier to connect Slite with other apps to automate your workflows.

Easily set up automated processes called Zaps that connect Slite with popular apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Asana, Google Docs, and more. Whether you're creating new docs, updating existing ones, or managing projects, you can simplify and automate tasks without any coding required.


How it works

To learn more and set up Zapier + Slite automations, visit  Zapier’s guide . Pick a Zap workflow from the available templates or create your own, then follow the prompts to authorize your Slite account and set up automations between Slite and thousands of other apps.


Setting up a Zap from an available template

You can create an automation from  these pre-made Zap templates .


Setting up a Zap from scratch

Firstly, set up a Trigger to start your Zap (i.e,. a new Typeform entry)
Select the Slite app to perform the Action
connect your Slite account with your API key from  team settings 
Select from one of the following events:
Create Doc
Fetch Doc
Fetch Sub Docs
Replace Doc
Search Docs
Update Doc

To see a detailed list of the events along with the corresponding parameters, visit  this section of the Zapier guide .


Getting the Parent Doc ID / DocID

The Doc ID will look something like this:  GcKO7QlX4fzVM9 

To get the Doc ID you will need to:
Click the 3-dot menu from the top right-hand corner of the doc
Navigate to  Copy doc id  and click once
The Doc id will be copied to your clipboard

If the Parent ID is already set with a default template, it will not take the markdown to fill the doc created but the template.


Getting the BlockID

The Block ID will look something like this:  5374311c-2bc1-48ed-b689-7b6e4d7a9923 

To get the Block ID you will need to:
Navigate to the doc in which you want to update
Hover over a blank space on toward the left-side of the doc
Click the block menu
Navigate to  Copy block id  and click once
The Block id will be copied to your clipboard

Trigger vs Action

As of August 2023, our Zapier beta implementation does not offer a  trigger . This means you can act on your Slite data based on 3rd party events, but not have a workflow triggered by an action in Slite - for now.
