🔥 Quick Summary
The Zapier automation allows you to connect Nas.io to 5,000+ other apps (like Mailchimp, Google Sheets, or Slack) without coding.
How Zapier Works: Nas.io sends data out to other apps when something happens (e.g., a new sale).
🤵Should I use Zapier?
This automation is a good fit if you:
Manage members or sales manually today
Use tools like Google Sheets, Notion, or email platforms
Run paid challenges, memberships, or more than one product
Have a growing community (around 100+ members)
Want to reduce admin work and keep things organized as you scale
You do not need Zapier if:
You are just getting started: Focus on building your community first before worrying about automation.
You manage everything comfortably: If the built-in Nas.io tools handle your workload, you don't need to add complexity.
You don’t use external tools: If you aren't using other apps (like Mailchimp or HubSpot) yet, there is nothing to connect.
Remember: You can always add Zapier later when your business operations become more complex.
📋 What You Can Automate (Triggers)
Nas.io sends the following "Triggers" to Zapier. You can start an automation whenever one of these happens:
Trigger Name | When it happens... | Useful for... |
New Community Member | Someone joins your community (free or paid). | Adding them to a Google Sheet or CRM. |
New Order / Transaction | Someone buys a Course, Challenge, or Digital Product. | Sending a "Thank You" gift or unlocking external content. |
Subscription Cancelled | A member cancels their recurring payment. | Removing them from a 3rd party tool or sending a "Win-back" email. |
🔗 Popular "Recipes" (Use Cases)

🚫 What You Cannot Do with Zapier
It is important to remember that this connection is a one-way street: Nas.io sends data out, but Zapier cannot change data inside Nas.io.
No Internal Changes: Zapier cannot edit your products, pricing, or community settings.
No Access Control: Zapier cannot remove members or revoke their access to your community.
No Retroactive Data: Zaps only work for events that happen after you turn them on. Past sales or members will not be sent.
Active Zaps Only: Automations only run while the specific Zap is switched to "On."
In short: Zapier handles automation outside of Nas.io only.
⚠️ Note on Automation: Please be aware that the lack of member management feature is due to API restrictions imposed by Zapier, not a limitation of Nas.io. Most social platforms restrict third-party tools from removing members to protect user privacy.
