New Instant Triggers for Zapier

Our QuickSchools Integrations on Zapier is undergoing a big change. The new version 2.0.0 introduces support for Zapier Instant Triggers, where changes in QuickSchools can immediately trigger a zap. There are also several improvements to the available Searches and Actions.

The new version will unfortunately deprecate several of the existing functions. Schools on the existing version 1.3.4 will have until Jan 1, 2025 to upgrade to the new version. Zaps would need to be recreated using the upgraded methods.

Support for the QuickSchools Integrations on Zapier (version 1.3.4) will end on Jan 1, 2025

Upcoming Improvements

The current functionality for Instant Triggers in Version 2.0.0 does not support Group School access. But we expect support for Group Schools to be added soon in a future version. 

In the meantime, if you have multiple sites that need to be handled by the same Zap, you can use Sub-Zaps to consolidate Actions from multiple triggers.

We’ll be posting a more comprehensive description of the new app in a future blog post
