The Rocket.Chat Zapier app integrates your Rocket.Chat workspace with [Zapier](https://zapier.com/), enabling you to automate workflows and exchange information with various external applications and services. With this integration, your team can cut down on repetitive manual tasks and build automated workflows tailored to your team’s needs.

By integrating Rocket.Chat with Zapier, you unlock the ability to:

- **Automate tasks**: Reduce manual work by setting up workflows that perform actions automatically, such as creating a new channel when a new project is started in your project management tool.
- **Integrate with external applications**: Integrates with other applications and services, such as project management tools, social media platforms, email services, and more.
- **Boost productivity and real-time communication**: Recieve real-time notifications for key events in Rocket.Chat to minimize context switching, helping your team to respond faster and stay aligned on shared goals.

## Rocket.Chat Zapier actions and triggers

The Rocket.Chat Zapier app facilitates automated workflows by connecting specific events inside Rocket.Chat with actions in other applications. These connections are defined by a two-part framework:

1. **Triggers**: A trigger is an event that starts a workflow. For example, when an event occurs in Rocket.Chat, Zapier captures it and passes the data to the connected app.
2. **Actions**: An action is a task performed in response to a trigger. Zapier uses the event data to carry out a defined step either in Rocket.Chat or in another connected service. Essentially, a trigger initiates a process, and an action completes it. The following tables list all available triggers and actions for the Rocket.Chat Zapier app.
