# Zapier

## Our Zapier integration lets you connect Text Request with 9,000+ other online apps.

**Pricing Note:** This integration is included for free with a Text Request Starter plan or above, or with the API add-on. Basic plans can add the Zapier integration for $50 a month. 

 

### **Zapier Workflow Overview**

Zapier connects Text Request to your favorite tools using **Zaps**—automated workflows made up of three core components:

- **Triggers:** Events in Text Request or another app that start a Zap.
- **Actions:** Operations executed automatically in Text Request or another app after a Zap is triggered.
- **Searches:** Queries that locate specific data records in Text Request (such as finding a contact or conversation) before running the next step in a Zap.

 

### **Text Request's Triggers, Actions, and Searches**

Text Request supports a comprehensive set of automated capabilities within Zapier:

| **Triggers** | **Actions** | **Searches** |
| --- | --- | --- |

### **Creating a Zap**
