Create an API key for Zapier
Navigate to Settings > API Tokens on your Raklet administration panel. If you don't have any API tokens, click on the "Create new API Token" button. Give a name to your API token, like "Zapier" and click "Create". Now you have an API token. Hooray!
Authenticate Zapier to your Raklet account
When you try to use a Raklet trigger or action in your Zap, you will need to create an authentication first.
Please fill in the API Token and Organization ID fields and click the "Yes, Continue" button. You can find this information on the API Tokens page. This will be enough to complete this step.
Use Contacts trigger
The contacts trigger allows you to get a list of your contacts, which you have filtered according to your needs, and use it on your Zap.
There are six filters on the Contacts trigger you can use.
With the Status
filter, you can filter the contacts by "Active", "Deceased", "Resigned" or "Frozen" statuses.
Type
the filter has five options: "Member", "Employee", "Potential Member", "Corporate Sub-Member" and "Corporate Member".
Created On
is a DateTime filter. You can specify a date and time by using this filter. It allows you to filter by contacts created on the field. When you use Created On
a filter, you should also use Created On Filter Type
a field. This filter specifies the type of the Created On
filter. This field has three options: "IS", "GREATER THAN", and "SMALLER THAN". For example, if you need to get a list of contacts that have been created since January 1st, 2020, you should set the Created On
filter as 2020-01-01 and choose "GREATER THAN" on Created On Filter Type
the filter. Or if you need to get the contacts that have been created on 31st August 2020, you should set the Created On
filter as 2020-08-31 and choose "IS" on Created On Filter Type
the filter. The default option Created On Filter Type
is "IS".
The balance filter is for contacts' balances. It also has a supporter filter named Balance Filter Type
. If you need to get contacts with negative balances, you need to set Balance
the filter to 0 and choose "SMALLER THAN" on Balance Filter Type
the filter.
After you configured the filters, you can test the trigger. You should get a success message like this:
And the trigger is ready! Now you can integrate this into any other application with Zapier. Have fun!
Use Payments trigger
The payments trigger gives you the recent payments on Raklet. The result data has:
Payment id
Customer name
Payment creation date
Payment amount
Payment currency
Payment method
You can see a sample result data below with a $1.00 payment with cash:
Use Contacts action
Raklet has three events on Contacts action:
Create Contact
Add Note To Contact
Add Tag To Contact
If you want to create a contact on your Raklet account, you should use the "Create Contact" event. You can set your new contact's Email Address, First Name, Last Name, Maiden Name, Member No, Corporate Name, Birth Place, Blood Type, Phone Country Code, Phone Number, Title, Address Details, Address City, Address Country, Address Postal Code, Contact Type, Gender, Marital Status, and Contact Status fields.
The "Add Note To Contact" event allows you to add a note to one of your contacts which can be specified by email address.
The "Add Tag To Contact" event does the same for tags, instead of notes. If the given tag has not been created before on Raklet, it will be created instantly and the specified contact will be tagged with this new tag. If a tag already exists, a new tag will not be created. The contact will be tagged with the existing tag instead.
