Zapier lets you connect external tools—like your website, CRM, or form software—to your Buildfire app. This allows you to automate actions such as tagging or untagging users when they complete tasks outside the app (e.g., submitting a form, signing up, or making a purchase). Tags can be used in Buildfire to unlock content, filter notifications, apply access rules, or group users for analytics.
