Versions of Nearby Now that Work With Zapier
Make sure your Nearby Now storefront account is subscribed at the SEO Master level before setting up any Zaps.
Activating the Zapier Integration App in Nearby Now
Login to the Nearby Now storefront account for which you plan to set up Zaps, using a user account that has admin privileges for that Nearby Now storefront account.
Go to Integrations tab.
Choose Zapier integration.
Click Install App to activate the Zapier integration capability within the Nearby Now storefront account.
When the green Install App button turns to a red Un-Install App button, you have successfully completed activating the Zapier integration capability within the Nearby Now storefront account.
Connecting Your Nearby Now Account to Zapier
When you start creating a Nearby Now Zap, you will be prompted to Select Nearby Now Account. Click Connect a New Account button to proceed:
You should then get a pop-up window asking you to provide an API Token for the Nearby Now storefront account for which you are setting up the Zap. You can access your API Token from the Nearby Now Admin Portal, under Settings > API.
Enter the API Token from your Nearby Now account into the box and click Yes, continue to proceed.
After entering your API Token and clicking Yes, continue, you’ll get sent back to your Zap where you now have your Nearby Now account connected.
You can click the Test button to make sure it is working correctly.
After testing, when you see the green Success! message, click Save + Continue to save the Nearby Now account you have just setup to use in Zapier, and to continue setting up this Zap. If you create additional Zaps in the future using this same Zapier account, you will be able to reuse the Nearby Now account you just setup without setting it up again.
