Email notifications with Zapier

From SimplyBook.me



Sometimes you may need confirmation emails to be sent to more than one email address.
And you can use Zapier to achieve it.

How to set it up

1. Log in into your Zapier account, go to dashboard page and click on "Make a Zap" or "Make a New Zap"
