What is Zapier?
Zapier is a cloud-based automation tool that connects different web applications and
creates automated workflows called "Zaps". These "Zaps" automate complex workflows by
triggering events in one application that then trigger actions in another. For example,
you can automatically send emails, synchronize data between applications, generate
notifications, and more.

How does Zapier work?
Zapier is easy to use and requires no programming skills. You can create your own "Zaps"
with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. You simply select the applications you want
from Zapier's extensive library and define trigger events and actions. A trigger event
could be receiving an email or adding a new record to a database. When that event
occurs, Zapier automatically performs the actions you defined, such as sending a
notification or updating a document.

Kortpress
Kortpress by let's dev is a software solution that can be used to create tickets, coupons
or loyalty cards for mobile wallets such as Apple and Google Wallet. Instead of carrying
around physical cards, users can store them digitally on their smartphones.
About Google Wallet
Google Wallet is a digital payment and transaction system that allows users to send and
receive money and make payments online and in stores. It also allows users to store
payment details, coupons, tickets and other information in a digital wallet. The Google
Wallet digital wallet also allows for the seamless integration of Kortpress, allowing
digital cards to be dynamically updated and kept up to date via push notifications.
About Apple Wallet
Apple introduced the Passbook app in 2012, which later became known as Wallet. It allows
users to digitally store various types of tickets and cards on their devices, including
credit cards, loyalty cards, boarding passes, and more. Wallet also supports Apple Pay
and is available on iPhones with iOS 6 or later and the Apple Watch. Apple Wallet can
also be integrated with digital passports such as Kortpress. These passes are
customizable, can be updated in real time, and offer push notifications for important
updates.
Using Zapier with Kortpress
As digitization continues, digital cards and tickets, such as those offered by Google
Wallet (which we covered in a previous article)
and Apple Wallet, are becoming increasingly important as a replacement for traditional
paper or plastic cards.
With Kortpress you can choose from different types of cards and customize them by
selecting from a range of different pass types. They can be created online in just a few
steps and require no programming knowledge. The individual cards can easily be adapted
to your corporate design or existing design templates.
Kortpress has a flexible design and can be easily connected to existing IT
infrastructures via an API interface. It also allows automated creation of digital cards
via CSV upload.
The integration of Kortpress with Zapier offers you a unique opportunity to take your
business processes to the next level. The seamless connection between Kortpress and
hundreds of other applications and services opens up a wide range of automation
possibilities. This allows you to significantly streamline your workflows and automate
repetitive tasks, resulting in a noticeable increase in efficiency and productivity.
Kortpress offers several integration options via Zapier: After creating or scanning a
passport, various actions can be performed via Zapier, such as sending emails or adding
customers to specific lists.
Another feature is the creation of cards for different types of passports using a
template defined in Kortpress and overwriting the individualized values on the
card.
Through Zapier and the "Zaps", third party applications like POS or booking systems can
easily be connected to Kortpress. For example, when a customer buys a ticket in your
system, the system automatically triggers the creation of a pass in Kortpress via
Zapier. The only requirement is that the third party system also has a Zapier interface.
Use this integration to automate your processes, increase your efficiency, and delight
your customers with a seamless, modern service experience.
