  • Go to www.zapier.com - You need to create an account to connect your desired applications with Talexio. You can do this by logging in through your Gmail, Facebook, or Microsoft account. Once you have logged in successfully, you can start setting up Zapier triggers with actions in Talexio.

    1. Type Talexio in the “Connect this app…” field and search for your favourite app in the “with this one!” field.
    2. Select a trigger from the “When this happens…” field and set your action in the “then do this!” field. Items here are dependent on the application selected in step 1.

    3. Complete this process and press “Try it”, this will open the next page where you will start setting up your Zap with the action selected in the previous step.
    4. Link your Talexio account with Zapier by selecting “Connect Talexio" from the drop down menu where there is “Account" this will pop up a window asking for your existing Talexio domain. Enter your Talexio domain and click “Yes, continue” to connect.

      Remember this is a test and not an actual zap. Confirm the test and once confirmed click Publish.

  • To set up this action we will be going through a different method, this method is done through an app called “Looping by Zapier”. This action is an example for zaps regarding payroll functions in Talexio. 

    1. Go to the Zap just created and select the trigger followed by an app and event and click “Continue”.
    2. Choose your previously configured Talexio account.
    3. The default setting for the Zap data will be displayed, click “Continue” to start setting up the action.
    4. Next we need to set up the action by clicking on the + Icon between the trigger and the Action. Here we will use an app called “Looping by Zapier”.
    5. Now we will set up an “Action event”. Since there are numerous items to fetch from a payroll we will use the “Create Loop From Line Items” and click on “Continue”

    6. In this step we need to add an individual value to our line items. Each one will correspond to a line item in the payroll. Naming each “Values To Loop” item the same as a line item will help with setting up your zap.

    7. To add more line items simply click on the “+” icon. Keep adding your preferred fields until completion.
    8. When complete, leave the remaining settings as default and click on “Continue” to proceed to the next steps.
    9. A preview of the selected fields will be displayed on your screen along with two options. Click on “Test & Continue” to make sure everything is set up correctly before proceeding.
