  • Hi Daryl,

    A couple of questions and a potential solution for you. Is the Order Number based on a field in your App, or is it the GoCanvas Submission Number? 

    Either way, you could use Zapier to get the either a field value from the first App OR the Submission Number and use it to populate a field in the second App. The big contingency with the Submission Number is that the first App either has to go through a Workflow handoff OR be complete in order to pass the number along. 

    As a quick overview, one of the things that you can get out of GoCanvas with Zapier is the Submission Number: 

    So you could map that into any other field in your second App. 

    If it's just a field within your first App, you'd find that in the list and map it to the field in the second App. 

    Hope that helps!

  • Hi Sara, Yes it is the submission number. I tried this in Zapier and it worked a Treat!!

    Great work many thanks I even added a filter between the first submission and the dispatch to only dispatch jobs that met the condition of the filter.

    I love the way Go Canvas and Zapier interact :)

    Many thanks

    Daryl

  • You took it to a whole different level! So glad it's working for you. 

    I, too, clearly love how Zapier & GoCanvas work together. So many possibilities!

  • Hi Michelle,  Zapier gives Go Canvas the ability to interact with other systems like dropBox, Google sheets, plus many many more . It uses "Zaps" that get triggered by a Go Canvas Submission.

    eg/ I get a delivery Submission through go canvas then the Zapier takes the data from the submission and populates into Google Sheets - very cool.

    Check it out.

    Regards

    Daryl
