How can Zapier help simplify my podcast management every time I publish an episode on Ausha?

Zapier is a tool that connects over 6,000 apps, letting you create custom automations to save time and boost efficiency! 🎯

With the Ausha x Zapier integration, you can set up unlimited automations (called "Zaps") that will automatically activate with each new episode release on Ausha, helping you easily manage your podcast.

πŸš€ By connecting Ausha to Zapier, you can:

  • Automate repetitive tasks that you currently do manually every time you publish an episode πŸ”„
    πŸ’‘ For example: instantly notify your community on Discord or Slack whenever a new episode is released, so your biggest fans are the first to tune in.
    ​

  • Increase your podcast’s visibility with promotional actions you’ve been too busy to tackle" πŸ“ˆ
    πŸ’‘ For example: send a Mailchimp newsletter with the episode link to your full subscriber list to drive downloads in the first few hours.
    ​

  • Organize your workflow and free up valuable time that you can dedicate to creating more content ⏱️
    πŸ’‘ For example: automatically inform your team about a new episode on Teams with a quick summary, or update your episode status in management tools like Asana or Trello.

How to set up a Zapier automation that will activate with each new episode published on Ausha

On Zapier, you can create "Zaps": automations with other apps that will activate whenever an event occurs. βš™οΈ
​

With the Ausha x Zapier integration, the event here will be the release of a new episode on Ausha. πŸŽ™οΈ
​

To better understand how to set up an automation between Zapier and Ausha, let’s use an example. Imagine you have a Slack community of your most loyal listeners. πŸ’¬
​
​Here are the steps to set up an automation between Ausha and the 6,000+ other apps connected to Zapier! 🧭 πŸ‘‡
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 1: Create a (free or paid) account on Zapier.com, then from your Zapier dashboard, click + Create and select Zap.
​
You can now start creating your automation!


​


​

πŸ‘‰ Step 2: First, set the Trigger (the event that starts the automation), which here will be the release of a new episode on Ausha.
​
Click Trigger, then search for and select Ausha πŸ’œ
​


​

πŸ‘‰ Step 3: Choose the Event (the specific trigger of the automation), titled New episode. πŸŽ‰
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 4: Connect your Ausha account by clicking Connect new Account.
A new tab will open and prompt you for an API Key (your access key for your Ausha account).
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 5: Open your Ausha dashboard in a new tab, go to the My Account section (from the menu at the top right), and h to Public API.
​

Here, you can generate the Ausha API access key needed by Zapier to connect to your account. πŸ”‘

  • Enter a name of your choice in the Application Name field (only visible to you for organization purposes).

  • Specify an Expiration Date (we recommend setting it as far in the future as possible to avoid needing to regenerate a token).

  • Click Generate.

  • ⚠️ Immediately copy the new access key (using the Copy button), as it will no longer be displayed afterward. ⚠️


​
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 6: Return to the Allow Zapier to access your Ausha Account? tab, paste the access key you copied into the API Key field, and click Continue to Ausha.
​

The tab will automatically close once the connection is successful. Return to the Zapier tab where you were creating your automation.
​
​


​

πŸ‘‰ Step 7: Click Continue after connecting your Ausha account with the API key, then select the show you want to connect from the Show menu.
​
Click Continue again and test the connection if you would like! βœ…
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 8: Now, choose the app with which you would like to automate an action.
To do this, click on Action and search for the app of your choice (in this example, Slack).
​

In our example, we want a message to be posted in a public channel of our Slack community, so we’ll choose Send Channel Message.
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 9: Set up and customize the action or content that will be automated with each new episode release, using the dynamic information available (episode title, listen link, etc.).
​
​In our example, we customize the message by adding dynamic information by clicking on + at the top right of the Message Text field.
​
​


​

πŸ‘‰ Step 10: Test your automation to ensure everything works correctly, then click Continue to finalize the setup. πŸ”
​

πŸ‘‰ Step 11: Complete your automation by clicking Publish! πŸš€
​

And that’s it! You’ve set up an automation between Ausha and Zapier to save time with each new episode release! πŸŽ‰
