Make a Zap with Factorial
You can create a Zap using Factorial either as a source or as a destination. As a source, you can use Factorial to notify other services of new events happening at Factorial, like new employees or leaves being created. As a destination, you can post new information to Factorial (for example, creating a new employee) in response to some event happening in another service integrated with Zapier.
For this example, we are gonna use Factorial as a source. You can learn more about creating zaps in this Zapier article.
Let's start.
Head over to your dashboard at Zapier and click Make a Zap. Once in there, select Factorial as the source and choose a trigger:
In the next window you will either be asked to sign in Factorial or select one of the accounts you have linked:
If you are installing Factorial for the first time, you will be requested to authorize Zapier access to your account. Go ahead and do that:
Test the integration and you should be fine to go to the next step: setting up the destination. In this case, we are gonna use Slack as the destination of our integration. Our goal will be to post a Slack message every time a new employee is added to our Factorial company.
Let's select Slack as the destination:
Install or select your Slack account in the next step:
Now let's create our Slack message. The good thing is that we can use information coming from Factorial to customize the message!
Once this is done, we can hit Test & Continue and, if everything goes well, we should be able to activate the integration!
