Zapier & Oniva – Unlimited automation for your event management
Connect Oniva to thousands of apps via webhooks – no coding required.
With Zapier, you can connect Oniva to over 7,000 apps via webhooks and create custom automations, known as “Zaps”. Whenever a defined event occurs in Oniva (e.g. a new registration or check-in), a webhook automatically sends the data to Zapier, which forwards it to the selected destination app. The setup is completely code-free and ideal for teams without technical expertise. This makes Oniva the central hub of your entire digital ecosystem.
👉 Note: Zapier is connected via webhooks.
