Key Capabilities
Common Questions About Zapier
What Ruzuku events can trigger a Zapier automation?
Ruzuku supports seven triggers: student enrolled, lesson completed, course completed, quiz submitted, assignment submitted, comment posted, and subscription canceled. (For payment-specific triggers, you can connect your Stripe or PayPal account directly in Zapier.)
Do I need coding skills to use Zapier with Ruzuku?
Not at all. Zapier uses a visual workflow builder — you pick a trigger (like "new enrollment") and an action (like "add to ConvertKit"), then map the fields. Most automations take just a few minutes to set up.
Which email platforms work with Ruzuku through Zapier?
Any email platform that Zapier supports — including ConvertKit, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Drip, and hundreds more. When a student enrolls, they can be automatically tagged and added to your list.
Does the Zapier integration cost extra on Ruzuku?
The Ruzuku side is free on all plans. You just need a Zapier account — Zapier offers a free plan that covers basic automations. More complex multi-step workflows may need a paid Zapier plan.
Can I set up multi-step automations?
Yes. With Zapier's multi-step Zaps, a single enrollment can trigger multiple actions — like adding the student to your email list, logging the sale in a spreadsheet, and posting a notification to Slack, all at once.
How do I connect Ruzuku to Zapier?
Go to your Ruzuku account settings, navigate to Integrations, and click "Configure Zapier" to generate an API key.
