Zapier integration
Pairing OKZest with Zapier gives your images super powers
Zapier connects your apps together, so when something happens in one of your tools, OKZest can instantly create a custom image using real data from sources like your CRM, spreadsheets, booking systems, and more.
A few examples of what you can do:
- Auto-generate certificates or event tickets with the attendee's name filled in
- Post a custom social media image whenever a milestone is hit
- Create personalised images for customer onboarding, travel bookings, or hospitality workflows
Finished images can be delivered anywhere Zapier supports — SMS, social media, messaging apps, websites, and more.
