Zapier connects Black Magic to many apps using triggers and actions, which allow you to automate work between Black Magic and other apps. For example, when someone follows you (trigger), you can add the follower's info to a Google spreadsheet or get a notification through Slack (action) using Zapier.
The Black Magic integration on Zapier is eligible for Black Magicβs Pro users only. Using the integration requires a Zapier account and certain apps integrated with Zapier may need a paid Zapier subscription.

To work with Black Magicβs integration, you need:
- Log in to your Zapier account (or sign up if you havenβt had an account yet)
