63% of companies that are outgrowing their competition are using automation. The reason?

It’s simple. Automation in marketing saves time, increases customer engagement and drives upselling.

So, why aren’t more companies using it?

Zapier Integration Beaconstac Product Update

According to CircleResearch and B2B marketing, 61% of companies surveyed found the implementation process difficult.

This is why, we decided to help you automate your tasks better, faster and make the process easier by integrating Zapier with our QR Code Solution.

What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects over 1,500 apps. You can create custom workflows so that when one action is triggered, an automated task starts running in the background. And, you can do all this without any coding or relying on developers.

What can you do with the Zapier integration?

Get notified every time a user scans your QR Code

Need to know if your QR Code campaign is working?

Now, you or your team can get notified via Gmail or Slack whenever a user scans your QR Code. This is fruitful for pilot tests, split A/B testing, ensuring scannability when a customized QR Code has been used and the overall efficacy of a campaign.

Zapier tests if they are able to find data from your account. If you have created and scanned a QR Code, Zapier will pull in sample data.

What more can you do with Zapier?

You can change the Trigger Event to ‘New Form Response’ and send leads an email when they leave their email address in a lead generation or feedback form. Realtors, retailers, SMBs can use this to send leads or customers a welcome email, their latest newsletter, use their email to start a drip campaign using MailChimp.

Instead of creating a one-step integration, you can also create multi-step Zaps to connect more apps.
