You can now automate ZapPost direct mail from your Force24 account using Apps in Journeys.
In order to send a ZapPost direct mail within a journey:
- In your Force24 account, navigate to Journey manager.
- Click the name of a journey to edit an existing journey. Or click new journey to create a new journey.
- In right hand panel, drag and drop ‘Apps’ onto the journey builder grid.
- You can then select the ‘ZapPost’ app to begin using; the component can be used to send a pre-made direct mail campaign from within a journey to contacts triggered.
- You will be prompted to name the action, and label your ZapPost connection; or select an existing connection if you have already used this within apps in journeys.
- If you have never used the ‘ZapPost’ app before within journeys, you will need to authorise your connection. You can do this within the ZapPost app by:
- Navigate to the settings menu from the top of the ZapPost dashboard on the Zappost website.
- Access 'API Consumers' from left-hand panel menu.
- Note down the Api Key and Password by clicking on the copy icon beside each of them.
- Navigate back to your Force24 journey and input your API key and password within the spaces provided.
- Once this has been confirmed, you can select or create a new zappost connection
- Choose from your existing templates built within your ZapPost account, as well as when this should be scheduled for from the drop downs provided.
- You will then be prompted to map the fields from within the ZapPost app, to Force24 fields. Most fields will be pre-mapped, but may require you to check and change if required.
- Once this final step is complete, you can add the component to the journey to begin.
