Zapier is the webhook solution for the Tovuti API. Learn more about getting started with the API here. Zapier allows Admins to connect API-enabled applications with Tovuti and create automated workflows using webhooks.
Webhooks are events that trigger data exchanges between applications. For example, a webhook integration may update a Tovuti LMS user’s profile automatically when the user status is updated in an HRIS or CRM system.
In Zapier, webhook automations are referred to as Zaps, which consist of triggers and actions.
Connect Tovuti to Zapier
In the Zapier account click My Apps > search for Tovuti > click Connect
Enter a Tovuti API Key with the permissions needed for the integration.

Add a Trigger
The Trigger is the event that initiates the Zap.
Select the trigger event.
If Tovuti is the application where the trigger occurs, choose from 20+ different trigger events.
Test the trigger to make sure it is functioning correctly.
For applications that do not have a Zapier integration, select Webhooks by Zapier to configure the trigger.
Create an Action
The action is the event that happens when the trigger occurs.
Select which application performs the action.
If Tovuti is the application that performs the action, select from 60+ different CREATE or SEARCH action events
CREATE events create new Tovuti items such as Courses, Events, Users, etc.
SEARCH events find Tovuti items, returning the results in Zapier.
Test the action to make sure it is functioning correctly.
Webhooks by Zapier is also an available option when configuring a Zap event.

- Adding additional actions
