How to Use Lucid Meetings with Zapier

One you've connected Zapier to your Lucid Meetings account, you can make new Zaps that automatically connect your Lucid Meetings information to the rest of your apps.

The easiest way to get started with Zapier is to use one of our pre-configured integration "Zaps." Once you have your API token, simply go to our Zapier integration gallery, find the Zap you want, and click the "Use this Zap" button. We've done the detailed work, so all you need to do is connect the dots.

We'd love to hear your feedback and questions, and we're happy to help if you want to set up a new Zap but aren't sure the best way to go about it.
