Directo integration with Smaily

Add new or updated Directo contacts to Smaily

To create a connection between Directo and Smaily, you can use Integromat as the synchronization link between the two.

You can use Smaily premade template that will make the creation of your scenario much easier. Smaily Directo template is created so, that every time a new contact is created or updated in Directo, Integromat will automatically add that contact to Smaily. Of course, you can always expand and customize the scenario to meet your own individual needs.

To begin integrating go to https://www.integromat.com/ and create a new account if you already don’t have one.

Creating a connection with your Directo account

After creating the account in Integromat open the Directo template https://www.integromat.com/en/integration/6346-add-new-or-updated-directo-contacts-to-smaily and click on the button “Create new scenario from template”.

Step 1. Create a connection with your Directo account.

  1. Click on the HTTP module.
  2. Insert the request URL (from what URL you want to get data; your Directo URL).
  3. Set method as GET.
  4. In the Query String section press “Add parameter” and add all parameters below.
  5. Add your Directo key (32 digit code) to replace <your-app-key>.
