Getting your Okappy jobs details from another application

Zapier is a way to connect your apps and automate workflows. It moves info between different applications using triggers and events.

Automated workflows could include getting your list of jobs from Okappy and populating a Google Spreadsheet. Read on to find out how to use another app such as Slack to request the details of a job from Okappy.

Note: The Zapier integration and documentation is currently in beta. An invitation is required in order to use the Okappy app in Zapier
