Automate with Zaps

Zapier is a workflow automation platform that connects thousands of apps and services. With Kisi's Zapier integration, you can create automated workflows (called "Zaps") that trigger actions in Kisi based on events from other apps, or use Kisi events to trigger actions in other services.

Kisi currently offers 1 trigger and 9 actions on Zapier, enabling powerful automation possibilities for access control, member management, and workflow optimization.

Core concepts​

Understanding these key concepts will help you create effective automations:

Triggers​

Triggers are events that start a Zap. When a trigger event occurs in an app, it signals Zapier to begin the automation workflow. Kisi has the following triggers available in Zapier:

For more advanced automation scenarios, you can also use webhooks to create custom triggers based on any Kisi event, providing greater flexibility and real-time responsiveness for complex workflows.

Actions​

Actions are tasks that Zapier performs in response to a trigger. These are the automated steps that happen after a trigger event. Kisi has the following actions available in Zapier:

Zaps​

A Zap is the complete automation workflow connecting a trigger to one or more actions. For example: "When a new member joins in my CRM (trigger), add them to my Kisi organization and grant access to specific doors (actions)."
