SourceForge integrates with Zapier so that you can push your Buyer Intent data to any application that Zapier supports, like HubSpot, Microsoft Teams, Clearbit, ZoomInfo, Salesforce, LinkedIn Ads, Dreamdata, and over 7,000 more apps. The only limit on the ways you can use SourceForge Buyer Intent Data and Zapier is your imagination. View the official SourceForge Zapier integration.

The SourceForge Zapier Integration is available to SourceForge Premium customers and above.

Zapier lets you connect SourceForge to 7,000+ other web services. Automated connections called Zaps, set up in minutes with no coding, can automate your day-to-day tasks and build workflows between apps that otherwise wouldn't be possible.

If you do not have a Zapier account, sign up for a free Zapier account - from there you can jump right in.

Setting up the integration between Zapier and SourceForge is simple.

First, navigate to the "Integrations" tab in the left side menu of your SourceForge admin section. Then, click the "Set Up" button next to Zapier.

Now that you've connected Zapier to SourceForge, you can build your Zap. You'll see popular SourceForge to Zapier integrations (aka Zaps) right on your screen. You can click the one you want, or search for the app you want to integrate SourceForge and Zapier with using the search bar.

Zapier also offers an AI tool you'll see right near the top that allows you type in natural language what you want to build. You can write something like "When I get new SourceForge Buyer Intent Data, send me a message in Microsoft Teams", or "When I get new SourceForge Buyer Intent Data, send it to HubSpot". Type in your prompt and click "Generate" and wait a few seconds and Zapier will suggest the best workflow for you. Then you just click "Use this workflow" to start configuring your workflow.
