# Zapier Outbound Integration
With the [Zapier](https://zapier.com/) integration, ilert alerts can trigger custom workflows across 5,000+ apps. Whether it’s logging data in spreadsheets, sending chat notifications, or updating CRM records, this integration enables flexible, no-code automation from operational events.
## In Zapier: Create a Zap
1. Go to Zapier and click on **Make a Zap**
2. On the next page, search for **iLert** trigger source and choose it:
3. In the section **Trigger Event** choose **New or Updated Alert** and click on the **Continue** button
4. On the next slide, choose your ilert account. Then click on the **Continue** button.
5. On the next slide, choose **an alert source** and **trigger types** e.g. Alert Created. Then click on the **Continue** button.
{% hint style="warning" %}
NOTE: you can't use an Zapier alert source here, as it will lead to an infinite loop
{% endhint %}
6. On the next slide, click on the **Test Trigger** button to see example data. Then click on the **Continue** button.
7. Now you can **add any action** available in Zapier, e.g. Jira to create a ticket on your Jira board
## FAQ
**Why the Zapier connector is in my alert source?**
Every time you create a Zap with an ilert trigger, the Zapier connector in ilert is created automatically for the alert source you selected in the trigger.
