Often, after an event in your CRM, it would be helpful to send an email automatically to a contact’s email address. This article will explain how to send an email to a customer’s Gmail or Outlook address when a record is created or when the Process Management status is updated.
For example, in an Orders app, when the Process Management is pushed to the “Invoice Sent” status, an email can be sent to an email address stored in the Kintone record.
The app from which the emails will be sent must contain an email address. Any other information needed for the email body can be added to the app; then, the record data can be used in Zapier. This simple example will use the email address and the total. Further information could be used, such as product data and tracking numbers.
It’s helpful to set the field codes in Kintone to something recognizable since the field codes are used as labels in Zapier.
Example below:
Navigate to Zapier and create a new Zap.
Record Creation as a Trigger:
Set the Trigger to Kintone, and the Event as “Record Created”.
To send the email when the Kintone Invoice record is created, set “New Record” as the Event.
After setting the Event, select the Kintone Account/app you want to connect to this Zap. NOTE: The label in the menu displays “Account”, but each account/connection has been set to a specific App Id. That means each account/connection in Zapier is set to a specific app. Make sure you create a new connection when you want to connect to a different app.
Select “New Account” to connect the new app called Invoices.
Get the API Token from the Invoices app, and input it into the settings. Make sure to set the correct Application (App) Id for the Invoices app.
Generate the token, copy it, and update the app settings.
Enter the App ID, API Token, and subdomain name into the Zapier Account settings.
After successfully connecting to the Invoices app, click “Test” to pull recently created records in the app.
