Zapier with CoSchedule

Use the Zapier integration to sync a variety of applications with CoSchedule. Zapier is a third-party tool that helps you automate repetitive tasks between two or more apps—no code necessary. It works around the concepts of Triggers and Actions, meaning if something happens in one app (the event Trigger) then something happens in another app (the Action).
