  2. Task completion in Trello or Asana → Update progress status of corresponding task in Ellie

  3. New entry in Notion → Create a new task in Ellie

  4. New lead in Salesforce → Create task in Ellie to reach out

  5. Mentioned in Slack → Create a task in Ellie to respond

Using triggers:

  1. Task completed -> Send an email to fulfill shopfiy order

  3. Task created -> Create a notion page

  4. Task created -> Send a status update email

How to use the feature

When you create a Zap in Zapier, everything should be straightforward. However, you will need to authenticate your Ellie account. You will be greeted with this screen asking you for an Ellie API Token.

To generate your token, Go to Settings -> Toggle power features -> API Token and enable API access.

Once enabled, you can go to API token (step 3 above) and then you can generate a new API Token to be used in Zapier.

Once you link your account, you can choose the action as either "Create" or "Update" task.

If you chose "Create task in Ellie" for example, you can then choose from a number of different fields to populate (see below on how the Label name and List name fields work).

Label and List name fields

The way the label and list name fields work is by finding a list/label with the exact name typed into that field. So if you have a label called "Work", you could simply write "Work" or "work" (case doesn't matter) into the field.

If you have multiple labels or lists with the same name, we will pick one to use.

If a label or list does not exist, one will be created
