Zoho Flow

Zoho flow is an integration platform that allows you to connect applications together and create a workflow between them. You can create a flow between the applications you want to connect and automate the process. A flow structure will have a trigger and action(s). The trigger can be any activity that occurs in an application. In response to this trigger, a corresponding action will occur in another application. Using this flow model, different applications can be integrated to perform different actions. Similarly, Zoho flow can also be used to connect ZeptoMail with various other applications.

• Trigger - New Activity
  Triggers are the activities that occur in an application. In ZeptoMail, it can be the recipient activity like open, click, and bounce on an email you send. You can choose the activity you wish to include in the trigger.
• Action - Desired outcome
  The resulting action to be performed for the particular trigger.​
