Cacheflow and Zapier Integration

August 29, 2024 11:45 AM

Since launching Cacheflow in 2021, we’ve seen a clear need for a non-technical way to build workflows around deal-closing events and revenue data.

Something that doesn’t require coding and developer hours, but can have out-sized impacts for sales, RevOps and finance team efficiency. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce the Zapier and Cacheflow integration!

Zapier is a household name among RevOps professionals and is well-known for its ease of use and widespread integration adoption among SaaS vendors. 

Combined with Cacheflow's CPQ and subscription management capabilities, it becomes a powerful solution to automate tasks, increase revenue visibility, and run a more efficient closing cycle. 

Key Features of the Zapier + Cacheflow Integration:

1. Pre-built Function Library: 

Users can access Cacheflow's library of pre-built functions through Zapier. These templates are tailored to common RevOps needs, allowing teams to automate routine tasks without starting from scratch.

2. Customization Flexibility: 

Beyond the pre-built templates, users have the flexibility to create their own base functions specific to their unique business needs and tasks.

3. User-friendliness: 

The combined ease of use of Zapier and Cacheflow makes this integration accessible even to those without technical expertise. These workflows can be configured by an internal Operations or Sales leader in less time that it takes to research consultants! 

5 Common Use cases of Cacheflow with Zapier

1. Project Management

Tools - Clickup, Notion, Asana, Jira

When a deal closes in Cacheflow, the integration automatically creates a follow up task in its destination project management tool, with all necessary onboarding tasks.

This automation ensures a smooth post-sales handoff and makes sure the implementation team can start immediately, reducing setup time from a week to just a day or two.

2. App Provisioning 

Tools - AWS, Heroku, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Docker

As soon as a deal is marked closed, the integration triggers automated environment setup in the respective app space. Customer-specific parameters are configured automatically based on deal details. The DevOps team receives a Slack notification upon completion, allowing for a quick final check. This process reduces environment setup time from days to hours.

3. Communication Tools

Tools - Slack, Microsoft Teams 

Get notified with a Slack alert the second a prospect views, signs or completes payment in a Cacheflow quote. Enable your sales reps and managers to stay on top of their deals. 

4.Custom Webhook

When a deal closes in Cacheflow, a custom webhook can trigger order creation in your proprietary ERP system. Use webhooks to send data to or from Cacheflow for any custom application or service without breaking a sweat. This automation keeps all systems in sync, tailored to your unique business needs.

Implementation: Enabling these workflows is a two-click process in the Cacheflow UI, under the WORKFLOWS section above INTEGRATIONS AND CONNECTORS in settings.
