6. Test your BigCommerce connection, if successful search for and select the Poplar (BETA) App to use as your action; the destination where you'll be sending your data.

7. If you only have access to email data in BigCommerce you'll want to select the Email Append option, but you can alternatively create additional Zaps and use the other Action Events for things like updating your do not mail list, or mailing to customers you have existing address data for.

8. To connect your account, you'll be prompted to enter an Access Token which can be found on the API page of your Poplar account. 

We recommend first entering your Test key, this will allow you to test the trigger connection without actually mailing. Successful trigger requests will be visible from the History tab of the connected campaign.

12.  Send a test and then hop back over to Poplar to the history tab of the campaign and you can check the digital proof we created.

13. If tests are successful, it's time to turn on your Zap! If you want to let the trigger run naturally under the Test environment for a day or two, feel free to leave your Test Account selected. If you feel ready to go live, head back to Choose Account and select the one connected to your Production key before turning on your Zap!
