Connect Chatbase with Zapier: Step-by-step guide
Zapier lets you automate tasks between Chatbase and hundreds of other apps so you can build powerful workflows around your AI chatbots without writing code.
This how-to article walks you through finding the Chatbase app in Zapier, understanding available triggers and actions, and creating automated workflows that move and update chatbot data across your favorite tools.
What you need before using Chatbase with Zapier
Before you start building automations, make sure you have the right accounts and permissions in place.
- An active Chatbase account with at least one chatbot created.
- A Zapier account with access to create Zaps.
- Access to any third-party apps you want to connect (for example, Google Sheets, Slack, or a CRM).
Once these prerequisites are ready, you can connect Chatbase to Zapier and start creating workflows.
How to find the Chatbase app in Zapier
You can add Chatbase as a step in your workflow directly inside the Zap editor in Zapier.
- Sign in to your Zapier account.
- Click + Create Zap to open the Zap editor.
- In the Trigger or Action search bar, type Chatbase.
- Select Chatbase from the results to add it to your Zap.
If you cannot find Chatbase, check that it is available for your region and account type, and that you are spelling the app name correctly in Zapier search.
Connect your Chatbase account to Zapier
The first time you use Chatbase inside Zapier, you will be asked to connect your account.
- In the Zap editor, choose Chatbase as your trigger or action app.
- Click Sign in or Connect a new account when prompted.
- A new window will open asking you to authorize Zapier to access your Chatbase data.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to log in and grant access.
- Once connected, select your Chatbase account from the list.
After authorization, your Chatbase account will be available for use in any Zap you build in Zapier.
Available Chatbase triggers in Zapier
Triggers start your automated workflow when something happens in Chatbase. In Zapier, choose a Chatbase trigger that matches your use case.
Common types of triggers can include:
- User interactions with a chatbot, such as new messages.
- New conversations or sessions started.
- Updates to chatbot data that you track in Chatbase.
Once you choose a trigger in Zapier, you can set filters and options so that your Zap only runs on relevant Chatbase events.
Set up a Chatbase trigger in Zapier
- In the Trigger step, select Chatbase.
- Choose the trigger event that best represents the chatbot activity you want to monitor.
- Pick your connected Chatbase account.
- Customize any available trigger fields, such as chatbot ID or filters.
- Click Test trigger in Zapier to pull in sample data.
This sample data will help you map fields later when setting up actions in other apps connected through Zapier.
Use Chatbase actions inside Zapier
Actions are the steps that run after a trigger fires. In Zapier, Chatbase actions let you send data back to Chatbase or log related information as part of a workflow.
Typical actions you might configure include:
- Sending structured data to Chatbase about a user interaction.
- Updating or enriching chatbot-related records.
- Syncing chatbot events to external storage or analytics via Zapier.
Configure a Chatbase action step in Zapier
- After your trigger step, click + Add action.
- Search for Chatbase and select it.
- Choose an action event that matches what you want to send or update.
- Select your Chatbase account connected to Zapier.
- Map fields from previous Zap steps into the Chatbase fields.
- Click Test step to confirm the data is received correctly by Chatbase.
If the test is successful, the Chatbase action is fully configured and ready to run each time your Zapier workflow is triggered.
