Omeda’s Add Customer Action in Zapier

Omeda’s Add Customer Action found in Zapier allows you to easily bring customer data into Omeda based on some type of event from a third party application. This action allows you to bring in standard contact information, and up to 10 demographics, 10 products, 10 deployments, and 10 behaviors.

Use cases include but are not limited to:

  • Keeping a 3rd party’s customer database in sync with Omeda’s database.
  • 3rd party form submission that may not be compatible with our Data Loader webhook.
  • 3rd party form submission where the form includes magazine or website products.

Before you get started you will need some information from Omeda to access our API. Please reach out to support and they will provide you with the Client Brand Abbreviation, Encrypted Input ID, New API key after you provide the following information:

Short description of the data you plan on bringing into Omeda from Zapier including:

  • Type of customer contact info
    This will help us determine what customer matching type we should setup on the input (Email only, Email + Name, Full Contact)
  • Products (if applicable)
    If you plan on bringing in Magazine product data for example, we’ll need to know if you’d like specific processing rules/validation rules setup on the input. If you plan on to bring in multiple Magazine products, there may be a chance we’ll need to create multiple inputs for each product if the processing rules/validation rules required differ. This means you’ll need to setup different Omeda accounts in the Zapier Action, one for each input.

Note: If you plan on passing Demographics, Products, and/or Deployment Types to the Add Customer Action and the Omeda values are not already mapped in the Trigger app, you will need to either have our support team map those values in the provided input or use this Formatter by Zapier action.

Once you’ve successfully set up and tested your Zapier Trigger, you will need to create your Action:

  1. Select the Omeda app in the Action
  2. Select the Add Customer event
  3. Connect to your Omeda account using the above; Brand Abbreviation, Input ID, API Key, and select the Environment to which you want to connect to (Staging or Production).
    Note: If you’ve already connected to your Omeda account prior, you will not have to repeat this step again. You will be given the option to choose from the drop-down menu the account that’s already been connected to.
  4. Once connected, you will be given a list of Omeda fields to map the data from the Triggered event. After you have tested the trigger, the data from that test should appear when mapping these fields.
    The list of Omeda fields that you can map to include the standard contact and address information for a customer as well as the following: Demographics, Products, Deployment Types, and Behaviors. You are able to map up to 10 each.
