Automate with Zapier

Zapier lets you connect multiple services and automate notifications, SMS, email, and much more.

Note: BG Renderer Max uses the Webhooks trigger, which requires a paid Zapier plan (Starter or above). Free Zapier accounts do not support the Webhooks trigger.

Before you start, go to Zapier website and register if you don't have an account yet.

On a Starter plan, you can create multi-step Zaps with the Webhooks trigger. Refer to Zapier's pricing page for current plan details and limits.

Test the new Zap and continue working with BG Renderer Max.

If you remove and then re-add the Zapier action, the Zap URL will be lost. Go back to your Zapier dashboard to retrieve it and paste it again.
