Zapier automation enables you to get the quality data from Cognism into any tool that you may use. This allows you to export data from Cognism to an integration that we may not support natively. (E.g. Zoho, Bullhorn, etc.)

The Zapier integration allows export from Lists and the Zap you’ve built will run to get those records where you need them to be.

Once the zap is published, head over to the Cognism web application and you should see the integration active with the event name and date that the zap was created.

Select redeemed records in your list.
Click the Export dropdown and select Zapier.
