Integrating Zapier with Arattai

Automate Channel Messages in Arattai  
 

What is Zapier  

Zapier is a no-code automation tool that connects your favourite apps and services. It lets you define a Trigger (when something happens in one app) and an Action (what should happen in another).
With the Arattai integration, you can automatically post messages to your Arattai channels whenever an event occurs in another app, such as, a new blog post, a weather alert, or a scheduled reminder.
 
What you can do  
  • Post messages automatically to Arattai channels from other apps.
  • Share live content, updates, or reminders without manual effort.
  • Build reliable automations that keep your team or community informed.
 
Note: Currently, Arattai’s Zapier integration supports only sending messages to channels. Direct messages, message edits, deletions, or Arattai-initiated triggers are not available yet.
 

Why connect Arattai to Zapier  

By connecting Arattai to Zapier, you can automate posting messages into Arattai channels whenever external events occur. Instead of copy-pasting or manually notifying teams, the system does it for you.
Note: At present, Arattai’s connection to Zapier only supports posting messages into channels. Direct messages, message edits, deletions, or Arattai-initiated triggers are not available yet.
You might want this integration for:
  • A media group that auto-publishes new articles, news, or weather updates into a channel
  • A business that notifies sales or support teams of new leads, tickets, or form submissions
  • Communities sending announcements, alerts, or automated reminders
