Connecting Zapier with YoPrint and Creating a Zap

Zapier connects YoPrint to other apps so you can automate routine print-shop tasks. A Zap is an automated workflow between apps. Its trigger is the event that starts the automation, and its action is what happens next. For example, a new sales order in YoPrint can trigger an action that creates an event in Google Calendar, or a new form submission can trigger an action that creates a customer in YoPrint.

To connect YoPrint with Zapier, you need your YoPrint API key and Team ID. API access is available to teams with an active subscription.

Check API access in YoPrint

1. In the top-right corner of the navigation bar, click your initials avatar to open the user menu.

   

2. Click Profile.

   

3. Scroll down to the API Access card and check your credentials.

   

   Trial evaluation access

   If the card says To evaluate our API during trial, please contact support@yoprint.com, contact YoPrint support before you continue. Support can enable API evaluation for your trial team upon request. You can also activate a paid subscription to reveal your credentials immediately.

4. Copy both the API key and the Team ID.

   Your Team ID is the unique identifier code shown in the Team ID field on this card. Do not enter your shop's business name.

Open YoPrint in Zapier

1. In the top navigation bar, click Configuration.

   

2. In the dropdown menu, click Settings.

   

3. In the left sidebar under Configuration, click Apps.

   

4. On the Zapier card, click Connect.

   

   YoPrint opens the YoPrint integrations page on Zapier in a new browser tab. Clicking Connect does not change the card in YoPrint. You configure and manage the connection entirely inside Zapier.

Build your YoPrint step in Zapier

The steps below follow an example Zap that sends a Slack direct message when artwork is approved in YoPrint. They start with YoPrint as the trigger. Keep the API key and Team ID from Profile > API Access ready. Enter the exact code shown in the Team ID field, not your shop's business name.

1. On YoPrint's Zapier integrations page, click Log in to sign in to your Zapier account. If you need an account, use Sign up first. Return to these instructions once you are signed in.

2. In your Zapier dashboard, click Create Zap to open the Zap editor. Return here with the Zap editor open.

   

3. Search for YoPrint and select it as the app.

   

4. In Trigger event, select what should start your Zap, then click Continue.

   

5. Under Account, click Sign in to connect your YoPrint team.

   

6. In the pop-up window, enter your credentials. Enter the Team ID you copied from YoPrint in the Team ID field. Enter the API key from the same YoPrint team's API Access card in the API key field. Click Yes, Continue. Once the connection completes, select your connected YoPrint account in the Zap editor. There is no Zapier key to paste back into YoPrint.

   

Finish, test, and turn on your Zap

1. In the Test trigger section, click Test trigger to test your YoPrint connection.

   

   Return with a test record selected and the fields you want to send to the next app.

2. Once tested, click Continue to move on to adding an action.

   

3. Choose the receiving app for your action, such as Slack.

   

4. Select the action Event, such as Send Direct Message, then click Continue.

   

5. Click Continue to confirm the action event choice.

   

6. If you have not connected the receiving app to Zapier, follow the prompt to connect your account. Return with the action's app account selected.

   

7. Fill in the required action fields with details from your trigger and click Continue. Continue once the action has the fields it needs.

   

   Action tests can change your data

   Zapier performs the action when you test it. Use records and destinations you are comfortable changing, including any message recipients.

8. Click Test and Continue to test the action.

   

9. Check the result in the receiving app against the values you sent.

   

10. Click Publish & Turn On to turn on your Zap.

    

    The Zap runs for new trigger events after publication. Return to YoPrint with the Zap turned on; you do not need to paste a Zapier credential into YoPrint.

11. Confirm that your Zap is published and turned on.
