You’re busy running courses and the last thing you need is to waste valuable time replicating information between systems. In just a few clicks you can set up workflows for your data to be synced to and from Arlo with your favorite software solutions to automate training management processes. There’s no code required.
With ten years in the training company software business, we’ve talked to a LOT of training providers. A lot of training providers who have great ideas about how to improve the running of their business and how to grow it. A lot of training providers who have great ideas, but don’t have the time, money or technical expertise to see them through.
It holds them back. And we’re not cool with that.
So over the years we’ve spent many meetings, planning sessions and watercooler conversations brainstorming ways to overcome these barriers. And many hours in development building solutions to break down these walls.
We’ve solved quite a few, but we can’t feasibly solve them all in Arlo. And we’re not cool with that either. We knew we had to get creative.
Cue Zapier.
We’re excited to announce that Arlo is now a Zapier partner. In fact, we’re the only training management system that is!
If you’ve never heard of Zapier, in a nutshell it’s an online automation tool that can connect Arlo with your favorite apps, such as Outlook, Gmail, Mailchimp, and more. You setup ‘Zaps’ by combining Triggers and Actions that do different tasks. We’ve developed our own Triggers and Actions, which you can use to start passing data and automating tasks in and out of Arlo.
So when an event occurs in Arlo (such as a contact being created) the trigger will fire and automatically send a set of data to Zapier. Zapier can then transform or filter this data, and send it on to the other piece of software. All this happens in a split second. Cool huh.
Let’s automate training management processes!
If you have experience using Zapier, you can start building Zaps between Arlo and 1000’s of other applications. Or, if this is all new to you, our library of pre-built Zaps make integrations even easier for you.
The possibilities are endless, but let’s start by looking at five integrations to solve key problems for training providers.
- Mailchimp. Keep your email marketing lists up-to-date. This integration helps when a new Arlo contact subscribes to a newsletter, it will automatically add/update a new Mailchimp subscriber. It’s never been easier to update your email lists. Find out how to connect Arlo to Mailchimp.
