Which Checkfront version supports this feature - classic items, classic products, or both?

Your account must have access to classic items (Inventory > Items), a key feature of our classic items version of Checkfront, to use the inventory events offered with Zapier (New Item, Item Event, and Item Event).

While inventory events are unavailable for classic products (Inventory > Products), a key feature of our classic products version of Checkfront, you can make use of Zapier’s reporting events (New Booking, Booking Change) to connect with your accounting software, e.g., Quickbooks Online. → Learn more about products.

Zapier is a web-based service that enables Operators to integrate the web applications they use and repeatedly automate what they do! Their integrated apps include Google Sheets, Gmail, Slack and MailChimp, just to name a few. View their full list of integrated apps here.

Zapier has named their automated, integrated tasks - Zaps! A Zap workflow consists of a trigger and an action - when this happens (trigger), do something (action).

For example, when you receive a new Gmail message, you can automatically have the attachments saved to Google Drive. Very handy!
