Connecting a Brightspot instance to a Zapier account

After creating the API endpoints and client for the Zapier integration, and before you create triggers, search queries, and actions, you must connect your Brightspot environment in the Zapier console. For details on this process, see Zapier online help.

To connect a Brightspot environment to the Zapier account:

1. Log in to Zapier.
2. In the left rail, click Apps.
3. Under Other Apps, select the Brightspot connector app that you want to connect to Zapier (typically the most recent version, if more than one exists).
4. Click Add Connection.
5. Enter the following values:
   
   • Brightspot Zapier Endpoint—The full URL of the Zapier API endpoint you configured in Brightspot (for example, https://"your-brightspot-domain".com/api/zapier). For details, see Adding API endpoints for the Zapier integration.
   • Client ID—The ID that Brightspot generated when you added the API client. For details, see Adding an API client for the Zapier integration.
   • Client Secret—The API key that you generated when adding the API client. For details, see Adding an API client for the Zapier integration.
   • Apache Auth Username—Only required when setting up the Zapier integration on non-production environments that have Apache Auth enabled.
   • Apache Auth Password—Only required when setting up the Zapier integration on lower environments that have Apache Auth enabled.
6. Click Yes, Continue to Brightspot.

When done, you can test the connection and begin creating triggers in Brightspot and building automations (called zaps) in Zapier.

For information on building triggers, search queries, and actions in Brightspot, see the following topics:

• Creating a topic subscription for the Zapier integration
• Creating a GraphQL query for the Zapier integration
• Creating a GraphQL mutation for the Zapier integration
• Creating a GraphQL polling trigger for the Zapier integration
• Creating a general Zapier search
