Configuring the Follow Up Boss Integration

To configure the integration between Follow Up Boss and Experience.com, you will first need to create a Zap within Zapier.

Once a filter has been added, a zap can be created for Experience.com to retrieve the information. Finally, the data from Follow Up Boss has to be mapped to fields available via Zapier. Once the fields are mapped properly, the connection can be finalized and the automation can begin.
