Zapier Quickstart

This quickstart shows you how to connect SkipUp to Zapier and create your first automation in under 5 minutes.

What you’ll build

A Zap that creates a SkipUp meeting request when you trigger it manually. Once it works, you can swap the trigger for any real event (form submission, CRM update, Slack message, etc.).

Step 1: Get your API key

1. In SkipUp, go to Settings > API Keys
2. Click Create API Key
3. Name it “Zapier” and select all scopes
4. Copy the key

Note

You only see the key once. Copy it now.

Step 2: Connect SkipUp in Zapier

1. Open the SkipUp connector on Zapier and click Accept Invite & Build a Zap
2. For the trigger, pick any app (e.g., Schedule by Zapier > Every Day)
3. Click the + to add an action step
4. Search for SkipUp and select it
5. Choose Schedule Meeting
6. When prompted to connect, paste your API key
7. Click Continue once the connection test passes

Note

SkipUp is a private connector on Zapier. You must use the invite link to add it to your Zapier account before you can use it in Zaps. You can also find this link on your SkipUp Settings > Integrations page.

Step 3: Configure the action

Fill in the required fields:

Field	Value
Organizer Email	Your email (must be a workspace member)
Participant Emails	A test email address
Meeting Purpose	”Quick sync to discuss the project”

Leave everything else at defaults.

Step 4: Test it

Click Test step. Zapier sends a request to SkipUp and you’ll see:

Meeting request created successfully!

Check your SkipUp dashboard — you’ll see the new meeting request. SkipUp’s AI will start coordinating with the participant via email.

Tip

This creates a real meeting request. You can cancel it from your SkipUp dashboard if it was just a test.

Step 5: Make it real

Now swap the trigger for something useful:

• Typeform — New form submission
• HubSpot — Deal moves to “Demo Requested”
• Google Sheets — New row added
• Slack — New message in a channel

Map the trigger’s output fields to SkipUp’s input fields, turn on the Zap, and you’re done.
