Getting Started
Our Zapier integration is available on all plans, including the free one. You don't need extra permissions to access any Freedcamp resources, but some things won't trigger/appear if your permissions in a project are not sufficient! For example, if you have 'guest' access to a Freedcamp project, you will not be able to create a new task in it. note: Custom fields are not supported.
Here's how to connect Freedcamp and Zapier.
1. Create your key
- Go to My Account -> API
- Press the green [+] button to generate a new API key
- Make sure the 'Zapier' box is checked
- Select and copy your API key
2. Connect Zapier and Freedcamp
Sign-up or log-in to Zapier, and click the Make a Zap button. After selecting the Freedcamp action/trigger for your zap, you will be prompted to connect your account to Freedcamp.
All you need to do is paste the API key in the first field. If you are using a custom domain through our White Label feature, make sure to put your domain in the second field.
