> Connect Perkstar to other business tools with instant loyalty triggers and safe, scoped actions.

Connect Perkstar loyalty activity to the tools a business already uses. The
public Beta catalogue contains 29 instant triggers, including Wallet installs,
online card scans, per-enrolment expiry, lifecycle-group changes, referrals,
transactions, redemptions, memberships, and bookings. Ten focused actions can
find, create, or update customers, enrol them in a card, add stamps or visits,
award points, record purchases, redeem a balance, run a flexible loyalty write,
reverse a transaction, or send a consented Wallet push.

<Info>
  The official Perkstar app is available in **public Beta**. Open the [Perkstar
  page in Zapier's App Directory](https://zapier.com/apps/perkstar/integrations)
  to start a Zap or connect an account. No invitation or Perkstar API key is
  required.

| Connection           | Perkstar OAuth; one Perkstar business per connected account                                                  |
| Permissions          | A Perkstar owner or authorised team member who can connect integrations                                      |
| Triggers             | 29 named instant webhook triggers; no customer-list or transaction-list polling                              |

Public Beta access does not remove Perkstar's account and plan requirements.
The person approving OAuth must already be able to access the intended Perkstar
business. Zapier's public listing does not create a Perkstar business or add a
person to an existing Perkstar team.

## What stays authoritative

Perkstar remains the system of record for customers, enrolments, Wallet passes,
loyalty balances, rewards, and outbound events. Zapier coordinates the workflow
and keeps its own Zap configuration and Zap history.

| Direction              | What happens                                                                            |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Perkstar → Zapier      | A selected Perkstar event starts a Zap with the event's documented fields.              |
| Zapier → Perkstar      | A Zap calls a supported public v1 operation using the connected business's OAuth grant. |
| Zapier → another app   | The Zap sends only the fields the business maps into that step.                         |
| Another app → Perkstar | The Zap validates and writes only the fields accepted by the selected Perkstar action.  |

Perkstar does not inspect or control later steps in a Zap. The business is
responsible for the destination app, field mapping, lawful purpose, retention,
and deletion of any copied customer data. Read [Data and security](/integrations/zapier/data-security)
before using personal data or marketing actions.

<Note>
  For a problem in a Zap workflow, start with [Zapier
  Support](https://zapier.com/app/get-help). Zapier receives the run context,
  handles first-line troubleshooting, and sends Perkstar an actionable report
  when the Perkstar step needs our help. Contact
  [support@perkstar.co.uk](mailto:support@perkstar.co.uk) directly for a
  Perkstar account, plan, business-selection, or OAuth-consent problem. Never
  send either team an OAuth token, webhook target URL, or unredacted customer
  payload.
