Preparing the Automation
Connect Uscreen to Zapier:
Go to Settings > Integrations in Uscreen
Copy your Zapier API Key
Add Uscreen as a connected app in Zapier
Enter your API Key when prompted
Create a Google Sheet with the following columns:
Name
Email Address
Password (optional)
Offer ID (if you want to assign a freebie bundle)
Set up your Zap:
Trigger: New or Updated Spreadsheet Row

Team/Company/Enterprise: every 1 minute
Advantages of Using Zapier
