About the Zapier Integration
Ally.io’s integration with Zapier enables you to connect Ally.io with all the tools you use every day. Say, for instance, you have an OKR to 'Deliver thought leadership articles', you can directly link this objective with a Trello card where you're tracking your thought leadership content, so with every checklist item update, a check-in is made automatically to the OKR.
