Zapier lets you connect Loomly with other web services through Zaps. A Zap has one app that acts as the trigger, where information starts, and one or more actions in other apps. The current Loomly app on Zapier includes triggers for selected Loomly activity and two write actions: Create Quick Post and Create Custom Post Idea.
The available labels and fields can change. Use Loomly integrations on Zapier as the current catalog when choosing a trigger or action.
Set up a Loomly Zap
- Sign in to Zapier or create a Zapier account.
- In Zapier, open My Apps.
- Search for Loomly and select Connect.
- Use your Loomly credentials to connect the account.
- Create a Zap from a pre-made template or in the Zapier editor.
- Choose the current Loomly trigger or action that applies to the Zap.
- Complete the remaining configuration in the Zapier editor.
For Zapier's current Loomly connection steps, see How to Use Zapier to Connect Loomly with Other Apps.
How Loomly triggers work
A Loomly trigger starts a Zap when the selected activity occurs in a Calendar. The current catalog lists Calendar as required for every Loomly trigger. Some triggers also have optional filters: Item Added to Library can use Item Type, Post State Updated can use To State, and the three publish-status triggers can use Provider.
Use the label and description in the Zapier catalog when selecting a trigger. The publish-status trigger names describe the status observed by Zapier; they are not write actions.

Current Loomly actions on Zapier
Create Custom Post Idea creates a Custom Post Idea in a Calendar. Its required fields are Calendar, Start On, and Title. End On, Recurs, Description, and URL are optional.
Create Quick Post creates a Quick Post in a Calendar. Its required fields are Calendar, Date, and Subject. Copy and channel fields, including Instagram, are optional action fields in the current catalog.
Examples for choosing an action
When a source-app trigger should create an item in a Loomly Calendar, choose the Loomly write action that matches the item: Create Quick Post for a Quick Post or Create Custom Post Idea for a Custom Post Idea. Then provide the required fields shown in the Zapier editor.
When Loomly is the trigger app, select one of the current Loomly event labels above and then choose the action in Zapier. Review the selected trigger's required Calendar and any optional filters before completing the Zap configuration.
Keep the catalog current
Zapier manages the available Loomly trigger and action catalog. Check the Loomly app listing on Zapier for the current options and the Loomly Help Center guide for current connection steps.
