# Zapier Automation

Zapier users can use Lightico triggers (events) and actions in automated workflows together with over 5000 other apps.

Note:For an initial period, Lightico Zapier will only show up in Zapier after you use the link in the instructions below.

For example, in a session, when a Lightico workflow is completed, you can have an automatic notification go out to your team on Slack.![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/Slide1.JPG)

You can also create Zapier automations where Lightico is both the Trigger and the Action. Like automatically adding a specific eSign document after a session invitation is sent out.![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/Slide2(1).JPG)

To use the Lightico integration with Zapier, you'll need to do some configurations in the Lightico and Zapier UI, as explained in the following sections.
