# Zapier automation
Zapier connects over 3,000 different tools, applications, and services you need to manage your business. Their simple integration platform allows anyone to seamlessly integrate DAM with other applications to automate workflows.
The **DAM integration** allows to**:**
* Setup a trigger when a new file is uploaded to DAM (useful for setting up notifications, transforming uploaded files or using other tools)
* Upload new files to DAM
* Transform files in DAM (this is done by adding [transformation functions](/dynamic-media-optimization-dmo/welcome.md) to the file CDN link)
* Search for existing files and folders
* Create folders
### **Installation**
Start a new **Zap** and add a tool to start the trigger with. It can be DAM or any other tool. DAM can either start the Zap or execute the actions for the trigger coming from other tools, as shown in the example below.
Once the DAM trigger/action is added, you will be asked to **"Choose account"** to connect to DAM.
New browser window will pop up asking for authentication details to DAM Asset Hub.
DAM **Token** can be found in the DAM Asset Hub project selector and next to the project title. While DAM **API Secret Key** is available in Settings > Access > Security templates (tab) menu in the DAM Asset Hub. Make sure the API Secret Key has the minimum required permission for the actions of the Zap.
Once done, you have successfully connected your DAM account to your Zapier account.
After the account is successfully configured and authenticated, you will be able to **set up the triggers and actions for execution**.
When selecting the **Folder Path**, if you leave it as a default option, it will only do actions on the Root folder of your DAM account. When looking for a specific folder, you can add the folder path manually or use the search function for exiting folders in the Root folder path.
