Set up Zapier integration

In this article: How to connect your Ruzuku account to Zapier so you can automate workflows between Ruzuku and other apps like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Google Sheets, and more. All Plans


Zapier connects Ruzuku to thousands of other apps, so you can automate tasks that would otherwise require manual work. Instead of copying student emails into your marketing tool by hand, Zapier does it automatically.

Here are a few common automations Ruzuku creators set up:

  • Add new students to your email list in ConvertKit, Mailchimp, or another email marketing tool when they enroll.
  • Send a congratulations email from your Gmail when a student completes all lessons.
  • Log each payment to a Google Sheet so you can track revenue in one place.

If the other app is in Zapier's app directory, you can connect it to Ruzuku.


Step 1: Generate your Ruzuku API key

You'll need your API credentials from Ruzuku to connect to Zapier.

  1. Click the dropdown arrow in the upper-right corner of your Ruzuku dashboard and click Account.

Your Ruzuku account is now connected to Zapier. You can build Zaps whenever you're ready, or close this tab and come back later.


Build your first Zap

Now that your accounts are connected, you can create automations. Here's how a basic Zap works:

  1. Trigger: Something happens in Ruzuku (a student enrolls, completes a lesson, etc.).
  2. Action: Zapier does something in another app (adds the student to a mailing list, creates a spreadsheet row, sends a notification).

For example, to automatically add new students to your ConvertKit email list:

  1. Trigger: Ruzuku → New Student Enrollment.
  2. Action: ConvertKit → Add Subscriber to Sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to regenerate my API key if I change my Ruzuku password?
No. Your Zapier API key is separate from your Ruzuku account password. Changing your password won't affect the Zapier connection.
My pop-up blocker is preventing the connection window from opening. What should I do?
Allow pop-ups for zapier.com in your browser settings, then try the "Connect Account" step again. The authentication window needs to open in a new pop-up to complete the connection.
Can I connect multiple Ruzuku accounts to the same Zapier account?
Yes. In Zapier, you can add multiple Ruzuku connections, each with different API credentials. When building a Zap, choose which Ruzuku account to use.
