Zapier integration
Automate your sustainability efforts by connecting SkootEco with hundreds of apps you already use and love.
Zapier is an automation platform that connects your favourite apps and services, allowing them to work together seamlessly without the need for coding. With over 5,000 apps available, Zapier helps you create automated workflows, known as "Zaps," which trigger specific actions based on events in other apps.
By integrating SkootEco with Zapier, you can effortlessly embed sustainability into your daily operations. Whether it's planting a tree for every new email you receive, countering CO₂e emissions after a new customer sign-up, or reducing plastic waste with each online sale, SkootEco makes it easy to automate positive environmental actions.
This integration empowers you to track and amplify your eco-impact without manual intervention. You define the triggers and actions—Zapier takes care of the rest, while SkootEco ensures your sustainability efforts are executed effectively.
Here are some apps our users are connecting with:
- Mailchimp — Plant a Certified Tree every time someone signs up for a mailing list.
- Asana — Plant a Certified Tree every time you complete a task.
- Salesforce — Plant a Certified Tree when a deal closes.
- Shopify — Plant a Certified Tree with new orders.
- Strava — Reward yourself by helping the world plant a Certified Tree after every run.
The possibilities are almost endless when connecting SkootEco to any app using Zapier.
