ユーザー活用事例セッション:Zoho Flowと決済システムの連携


あみろくの岡島さんに、Zoho サービスの活用事例として、Zoho Flow を活用した外部サービスとの連携事例をご共有いただきました。
今回の事例を実現するに至った背景
オンラインサロンを運用しているクライアントから、サイト内のサブスクの決済システムの見直しを依頼されました。
また、決済情報の登録に伴いメルマガの登録なども自動化したいとご要望がありました。
システム概要
システム全体像は、Zoho Forms で作成したWebサイト内に埋め込まれた登録フォームでの入力を起点とし、Stripeのような外部システムを含む複数のサービスへ自動で連携されるように構築されています。
※ここからは、会場で実際の画面と挙動を再現したデモを実施いただきました。クライアントさまの関係で、本記事で公開はできかねますので、ご了承ください。
お話の中では、Zoho CampaignsやFormsなど複数のZoho サービスを工夫して活用された実例をご紹介いただき、大変貴重な機会となりました!
