Zapier is a web-based automation tool that lets you connect Tree-Nation with over 7,000 other web applications, including tools like Gmail, Slack, Trello, Salesforce, and more. By integrating with Zapier, you can plant and offer trees automatically based on any trigger, like when you sell a product, receive feedback, or hire a new employee.
How it works
With the Tree-Nation Zapier app, you can automate tree planting in three ways:
See here the tree gift collect experience using the Tree-Nation email template and system.
Option 1 – Plant a tree (without offering a tree gift)
Use this option when you simply want to trigger a tree planting without sending a gift to a recipient.
Step 1: Create the trigger
-
Select the app that will trigger the tree planting.
-
Define the trigger (e.g. new form submission).
-
Log in to the app to sync it with Zapier.
-
Choose the specific data source (e.g. “Feedback form 2025”).
Step 2: Set the action
-
Select the Tree-Nation app.
-
Choose the action event: Plant a Tree.
-
In the account field, enter your API token (see how to request it below).
-
Run a test to make sure the trigger and action work correctly.
✅ Done! You’ve added tree planting to your workflow.
Option 2 – Plant and offer a tree using Tree-Nation’s email system and template
Use this option to automatically plant and send a tree gift via Tree-Nation's email system.
Step 1: Create the trigger
-
Select the app that will trigger the action.
-
Define the trigger (e.g. new customer, form submission).
-
Log in to sync the app.
-
Select the correct source (e.g. “New feedback”).
Step 2: Set the action

-
Choose the action event: Offer a Tree.

Option 3 – Plant and offer a tree using your own email system
