6. Find Zapier and click Connect.


Step 2. Get your Interact API Key

You’ll use your Interact API Key to connect your Interact account to Zapier.

  1. In the integration setup flow, go to the API Key step and locate your Interact API Key.

  2. Click to copy the API key.

⚠️ Keep your API key secure. Anyone with access to this key can pull lead data for quizzes you connect in Zapier.

Step 4. Configure your Interact trigger in Zapier

When your Zap is triggered, Zapier will pull data from the quiz you select.

After your Interact trigger is working, add an Action step to send your lead data to another app.

  1. In Zapier, under Action, search for and select the app you want to send your quiz lead to (for example, a CRM, email platform, or spreadsheet)

  2. Complete the Zap Action section with the App you would like to connect with, and then Publish the Zap

  2. In Interact, select Test Integration to test your integration to Zapier.

  2. Confirm your changes by clicking Publish changes.

Once published, your Zapier connection can send new quiz leads from the live version of your quiz.
