Integrate your Local Line 2.0 account with other apps

You can integrate your Local Line account with thousands of apps to automate your workflows!

Click Try it out from your Local Line account Home page to visit the Zapier app marketplace and find the apps you want to pair with.

For example, you can connect Local Line and Mailchimp to automatically create a subscriber in Mailchimp when a new customer is registered on your storefront or added in your back office.

Or, you can connect Local Line and Quickbooks to automatically create a Quickbooks invoice when an order is placed.

Zapier is free to use for up to 100 single-step automations (also known as “Zaps”). If you want to create more automations than that, or have multi-step automations, you can subscribe to one of their paid plans. There is no additional cost from Local Line to create Zaps.

Note: Zaps that were created using a Local Line 1.0 account must be re-created in your 2.0 account.

Zap components

Zap automations are made up of two elements:

• A trigger - this is an event in Local Line that starts the automation. Once you turn on a Zap, Zapier monitors for that trigger event. Learn more.
• An action - An action is an event your Zap performs in the paired app when your trigger event occurs. Learn more.
