Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Kappa0xc0035fd6 Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Hello guys, is there any alternative for Kevin Carwile's Automation Rules, which has the same (or similar) features and is working with actual version of IPS? Thank you! SeNioR- 1
Chris Anderson Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Zapier and Intregromat are two automation services that work closely with the IPS suite. I created my first Zapier Zap a few days ago. When a new member gets created Zapier sends my Slack Channel a notice that a new member has been created moments later. Edited May 26, 2022 by Chris Anderson Kappa0xc0035fd6 1

Check your ACP Integrations tab to find the setup for Zapier. They offer one free Zap to play with before charging. The other service I have no first hand knowledge on how it is setup.

Marc Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Its an external service, in which we provide the integration for. Whether or not you can use that will largely depend on what you are trying to achieve. We would need more information on what it is you are trying to do.
Chris Anderson Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Many of the marketplace apps have been updated to integrate into the Achievements app and utilize Webhooks. The Members Shop automates many tasks within its own ecosystem as well as integrating with some other third-party marketplace apps. There are a fair number of different things you can automate within this suite now, but it requires a great deal of research and time to understand what can and cannot be automated natively and the steps to accomplish it. Utilizing apps like Zapier and integromat simplify things "to a point" but you have to pay dearly for it. These third-party companies do expand the number of different services you can tap into to expand upon what the IPS Suite is capable of "out of the box". Automation as a whole requires a fairly high technical level to implement and not every site admin has the requisite skills to reach that level, at least in a timely fashion. If you can pair up with some technical folks to help you out, you might be able to implement some great things around automation. Edited May 27, 2022 by Chris Anderson
