Mapsly can sync data from any data source that has a connector to viaSocket - you can create flows to push new and updated data to Mapsly.

Note. Before proceeding with integration through viaSocket, make sure that Mapsly does not offer a native connector to your CRM, by searching your CRM in our integrations catalog. CRMs with native connectors are marked with a bolt icon like this:

Step 1: Configure your data source in Mapsly and import your initial data set

Before you can create a flow (an integration process in viaSocket), follow this guide to configure your data source in Mapsly using Mapsly's Google Sheets connector and import your initial data set.

Once your data source is configured and the initial data set is loaded, disable data sync with this Google spreadsheet by turning this switch to OFF:

Step 2: Generate API key

Generate an API key to your newly created data sources by following this guide.

Step 3: Create a flow in viaSocket

In this example we'll be creating a flow that will push a new Contact from Airtable to Mapsly's Contact object. You may create flows with your data sources by following these exact steps:

1- Log into your viaSocket account, press New Flow:

2- Search for the app that you want to connect to Mapsly:

3- In the Triggers section select the trigger, here we'll use New or Update Record as an example:

4- Select Add Step:

5- Search for Mapsly and add the "Create or Update record" step:

Press the Connect button after that:

6- Enter your Mapsly Api Key that was generated previously:

7- Select the Entity, as well as the fields that you want to send to Mapsly:

And press Done.

8- Press the Test button to run a test to verify that this flow is configured correctly:

In the pop-up window that will open, you should see that the request was successfully processed:

9- Click the Publish button to save your flow:
