What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects your favourite apps, such as Gmail, Eagle, Office 365, and over 750 more. You can connect two or more apps to automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build the integration. Move info between your web apps automatically, so you can focus on your most important work. It's easy enough that anyone can build their own app workflows with just a few clicks.

For Example, you may want to push all your active listings to your Personal LinkedIn timeline.

In Visible To you can select who will be able to see your post.
We suggest Content Title is used for the Property Suburb tag.
Content Description can be left blank.

The Content URL needs to be yourwebsiteurl/property?property_id=Then choose Property[ID} from the list.

Note: Do not put a space between the URL and Property ID tag.
