Do I need a paid subscription to create Zapier Webhooks?
Access to Zapier synchronization in Waalaxy is included in Advanced and Business subscriptions.

When is data sent via Zapier?
Your Waalaxy leads’ data is sent to your CRM or webhook when they reach a trigger in a campaign. There are two types of trigger:
- Action on response: This option sends data when the prospect responds to one of your messages. It’s available for all campaigns that can generate responses: LinkedIn messages, emails, invitation notes, etc. To set it up, click on Edit my campaign > CRM synchronization on response:
- The CRM Sync step: some special Waalaxy sequences include a step dedicated to sending the data of any prospect who passes through it, with no response condition. This is useful if you want to retrieve more data (e.g. emails found by an Email Finder campaign with the Email Finder + CRM sync sequence). You can find all these sequences from Start campaign > Browse sequences > Filter > CRM Sync.
