## Installing the Zapier App
23+
24+
### 1. Connect epilot to Zapier
25+
26+
Use [this invite link](https://zapier.com/developer/public-invite/224131/943ee60e5209137a26dfda91898237af/) to add the epilot app in your Zapier account. This only needs to be done once per Zapier account.
27+
28+
### 2. Install the Zapier App on epilot
29+
30+
To install the Zapier app on epilot, go to [Integrations > Apps](https://portal.epilot.cloud/app/apps) and search for "Zapier" on the Marketplace tab and click "Install now".
31+
32+
Follow the instructions on the [Zapier App Page](https://portal.epilot.cloud/app/apps/install/marketplace?appId=673a7330-7e2f-4b4b-835f-85a81b65b889) to install the app on your epilot organization.

## Setting up an Automation to trigger Zapier (epilot → Zapier)
37+
38+
### 1. Create an Automation with the Zapier Action
39+
40+
To trigger Zapier integrations from epilot. Create a [new Automation](https://portal.epilot.cloud/app/automation-hub) and add a Zapier Trigger action to it.
41+
42+
![Add Zapier Trigger to Automation](../../static/img/zapier/automation-add-zapier-action-en.png)
43+
44+
### 2. Build Your First Zap
45+
46+
Create a new Zap in Zapier, choose the epilot app as your trigger.
47+
48+
Hint: Use the [New Zapier Integration](https://zapier.com/webintent/create-zap?referrer=platform-visual-builder&steps%5B0%5D%5Btitle%5D=Test%20Zap%20for%20Automation%20Action%20Trigger%20from%20epilot%20Version%201.0.0&steps%5B0%5D%5Bapp%5D=App224131CLIAPI%401.0.0&steps%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=read&steps%5B0%5D%5Baction%5D=automation_action) link on the automation configuration page to quickly set up a new Zap triggered by epilot.
49+
50+
### 3. Configure Trigger
51+
52+
In Zap editor, select the epilot trigger and choose *Select an account* to pick your epilot account or add a new one.
53+
54+
Paste your [epilot Access Token](https://portal.epilot.cloud/app/tokens) into the Access Token field and continue. This token will be used by Zapier to perform actions on epilot.
55+
56+
![Zapier Connect Account](../../static/img/zapier/zapier-connect-account.png)
57+
58+
Name your trigger. Make sure to use a descriptive name that will help you identify your Zap in the Automation configuration.
59+
60+
![Zapier Editor](../../static/img/zapier/zapier-editor-trigger-name.png)
61+
62+
### 4. Test the Trigger
63+
64+
Back in the Automation configuration, select the Zapier trigger you just created. Save the automation and test it by running it manually.
65+
66+
You can now continue on Zapier side to create your first Zap.

## Creating Submissions (Zapier → epilot)
71+
72+
### 1. Set up your Zap
73+
74+
Create a [new Zap](https://zapier.com/app/editor) triggered by one of the 7000+ available integrations in Zapier.
75+
This Zap will use the epilot Create Submission action.
76+
77+
For this example, we will use the [Zapier Calendly Integration](https://zapier.com/apps/calendly) to forward scheduled calls to epilot.
78+
79+
![Zapier Calendly Integration](../../static/img/zapier/zap-editor-calendly-trigger.png)
80+
81+
### 2. Add the epilot Create Submission Action
82+
83+
In the Zap editor, continue to add a new action. Search for "epilot" and choose the epilot app from the list.
84+
85+
![Zapier Choose App](../../static/img/zapier/zapier-choose-app.png)
86+
87+
Pick the "Create Submission" action event and continue.
88+
89+
![Zap Editor Choose Action event](../../static/img/zapier/zap-editor-choose-action.png)
90+
91+
### 3. Configure Submission Fields
92+
93+
Map fields from your Zap to Submission fields. These fields will be included in the epilot submission.
94+
95+
Define a `source_id` to track the origin of the submission. This will help you identify the origin of the submission in the epilot portal, and create further automations based on the `source_id`.
96+
97+
![Zapier Submission Mapping](../../static/img/zapier/zapier-submission-mapping.png)
98+
99+
### 4. Test the Zap
100+
101+
Run your Zap or manually test the step. If the Zap is successful, you will see a new submission in the epilot portal with the source_id you defined.
