Zapier – Getting Connected

How it Works with Quotient

When an event triggers in Quotient, an action can be performed in another Zapier connected app. For example, when a Quote is accepted in Quotient, a new card can be created in Trello. Similarly, when an event triggers in another Zapier connected app, an action can be performed in Quotient. For example, when a contact is added to Google Contacts, a new contact can be created in Quotient.

Anyone can build workflows with just a few clicks. The Zapier editor is made for do-it-yourself automation, meaning you can setup Zaps without any developer help.

The Zap Log - in Quotient

You can see a special log of events triggered in Quotient, found in Account Settings → Connected Apps → Zapier.

You can replay past events by hitting ‘Replay Event’. Note, it can take a few minutes for replayed events to display in the log (to check, you can hit Refresh Log).

Events in the log will be kept for up to 7 days.

Things to note

  • Only people with Quotient administrator access can connect Zapier to Quotient.
  • Multiple line items are supported. However, be aware of the nuances of how different apps treat tax calculations. For example, Quotient calculates tax on each line item total and rounds this to 2 decimal places before calculating the next line item. Other apps may calculate tax on the grand total, therefore you could end up with non-matching total values.
  • Dates and times are in UTC. Learn how to Modify Dates & Times in Zapier.
  • Quotes that have been accepted on behalf of the customer will display as “Accepted by the person who it was accepted on behalf of”.
