Coinbase is Now Connected to Zapier, Bringing Bitcoin to 250+ Apps

Note: As of 2020, Zapier no longer supports Coinbase.

Coinbase, the bitcoin wallet and platform trusted by over 600,000 people around the world, is now part of the Zapier platform of connected web service. This means it now takes just a few clicks to integrate the popular platform with accounting tools, notification apps, form software and more.

For consumers on Coinbase, one use case of this integration is to set up notifications for completed transactions in the software of your choice, be it Google Talk or Basecamp.

For merchants, this gives you the ability to connect Coinbase to your accounting software, allowing you to keep track of bitcoin transactions right alongside your other records.

When you send an invoice for payment via Coinbase, it automatically converts the amount to bitcoin in the request at the exchange rate the moment the request is made! Here's what that looks like when you send a Freshbooks invoice:

How to use this integration

1. Sign in (or sign up) to your Coinbase account—make sure you have a Zapier account, too
2. Connect your Coinbase account to Zapier
3. Check out a few of the pre-made Coinbase Zaps or
4. Start creating your own

Happy Zapping!
