4. The next step is to sign up in Kotobee. If you've passed through this step before, you'll find your account in the dropdown list. If this is your first time here, choose Add a New Account.
5. A new window will open asking you to enter your Kotobee Serial Number. Follow instructions here to find your own Serial. If you don't have a Kotobee account yet, please click here to sign up for free.
6. After giving Zapier permission to access our account, the next tab will list your Kotobee resources. Here you select the resource you want Zapier to be notified each time a user is added to it. Select the resource type and wait for the resource list to be loaded.
7. Now everything is done on Kotobee side, the last step is to test the connection. Click the Test & Continue button.
