GoodBarber + Zapier: automatically add a user to a group

Aug 2, 2023 3 min read

It's official: GoodBarber integrations with Zapier have reached a milestone. More and more of you are building workflows between your GoodBarber app and other Zapier-compatible services. GoodBarber integrations with Zapier are no longer marked "beta", and that's something to celebrate!

As a reminder, we have developed 2 integrations with Zapier:
- GoodBarber: this integration offers actions and triggers for content apps
- GoodBarber eCommerce : this integration offers actions and triggers for eCommerce apps.

In this article, I'll give an example of how to use the integration for content apps. I refer you to this article by Marie, which explains how Zapier works in general, and this one , which contains an example for eCommerce apps.

Let's take the case of an app that uses the authentication and user group extensions. I've created 2 groups in this app. My aim is to automatically assign each new user who registers to one of the 2 groups.

In the user profile creation process, I've added a multiple-choice question. Depending on the user's choice, thanks to my Zapier automation, I'll assign the user to group A or group B.

Before we start, we need to add the Zapier extension to the app and create an API key to connect the app to Zapier. This prerequisite is well explained in this online help .

I start my zap with the "New User in GoodBarber" trigger. Each time a new user registers in my app, the info associated with their registration is sent to Zapier and the automation begins.

Next, I add a "Find a User in GoodBarber" search action. This allows me to find out the group chosen by the user when registering. The search criterion expected by this action is the user's email. The user's email is given to me in the previous step. I just need to use it in this step.

In terms of search results, the information I'm interested in is in custom_fields, and more precisely, the name/value pair where:

name = the name I've given to the custom field I've added to the app's registration process, in this case, "Preferred group".
value = the choice made by the user at the time of registration among the 2 choices proposed. The value 0 corresponds to the first answer (choice 1), and the value 1 to the second answer (choice 2).

Clearly, if value = 0, then I move the user to group A, and if value = 1, I move the user to group B.

To do this, I now add an action that will divide the path of my zap into 2. This is the "Paths" action. It's a default action in Zapier.

The zap continues with Path A if value = 0
The zap continues on Path B if value = 1

In Path A, I fill in the rule that allows this path to be taken if true:
"Only continue if Custom Field Value exactly matches 0".
Custom Field Value is the value of the "Preferred Group" custom field obtained in step 2 of the zap.

I then add an "Add user to Group in GoodBarber" action. To set this action, I enter:

Group A ID. There are several ways of obtaining this ID. You can use the "Find a group" action in Zapier, or the "List all user groups" method in GoodBarber's public AP I. I followed the second option, using Postman to retrieve the results returned by the API. I'll explain how to do this in a future article.
User ID. This information is available in the results of step 2 of my zap. I'll simply reuse it here.

To configure Path B, I perform the same operations as for Path A :

by changing the path-following rule. We need the value of the custom field to be equal to 1
with Group ID B instead of Group ID A.

That's it, my zap is complete.
Now, when a user registers in my app, they're automatically moved to the right user group.

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.

Your Givebutter events and campaigns now show up in your app

The short version. Givebutter Events and Givebutter Campaigns are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read a nonprofit's campaigns on Givebutter. Givebutter Events fills a Calendar section with upcoming events, at their time in the event's time zone, with their location unless you share it with attendees only. Givebutter Campaigns fills an Article section with active forms and fundraising pages, with their cover image and description. You connect them with a Givebutter API key. Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter. On Giving Tuesday 2025, supporters gave $20 million on the platform, up from $16.4 million in 2024, from more than 93,000 donors across 16,000 active campaigns, according to Givebutter's recap published on December 8, 2025. Here is how the two extensions play out for an animal rescue.
