Supported triggers and actions

What does this mean?

- Table/ViewRequired
Trigger
Scheduled
Try It
- QueryRequired
  Query results must have a unique id field so we can deduplicate records properly! Otherwise we will make a best guess. You must also include desired ordering and limiting in the query.
  Note: This query must run in less than 30 seconds and it is recommended that you return no more than 5,000 rows
Trigger
Scheduled
Try It
- Table/ViewRequired
- Primary KeyRequired
  Usually something auto-incremented like id. Must be unique. Column names that contain a space must be enclosed within brackets [ ].
- Order ByRequired
  Usually something like date_updated or last_modified. This should ideally be a datetime column that is set to the current datetime whenever a row is updated.
- Trigger Column
  Trigger on changes to cells in this column only. Leave blank if you want to trigger on changes to cells in all columns.

Catch Raw Hook
Wait for a new POST, PUT, or GET to a Zapier URL. Gives the request body unparsed (max 2 MB) and also includes headers.
Trigger
Instant
Try It
- MethodRequired
  The HTTP method we'll use to perform the request.
- URLRequired
  Any URL with a querystring will be re-encoded properly.
- Data Pass-Through?
  If yes, request data below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers though, like Content-Type). Defaults to no.
- Data
  Place raw data for the request here. Could be JSON, XML, etc. Nothing is parsed for you here (including extra line breaks or spaces -- everything is sent verbatim). You probably need to define a header below corresponding to your data Content-Type. Reminder: data provided in this field is completely ignored if you chose "yes" to pass-through.
- Unflatten
  By default we convert fields with double underscores into nested dictionaries. Select no here to turn this behavior off.
- Basic Auth
  A pipe (|) separated username, password combo for standard HTTP authentication.
- Headers
  Key, value pairs to be added as headers in all requests.
Action
Write

- URLRequired
  Any URL with a querystring will be re-encoded properly.
- Payload Type
  Pay special attention to the proper mapping of the data below.
- Data
  These are key-value pairs that will form the data portion of the request. If you leave these empty, all fields from the previous step will be used. If you want to send your own raw JSON or form-encoded values here, please use the Custom Request action instead.
- Wrap Request In Array
  Wraps the request in an array if that is something the service requires.
- File
  A file object to be attached to the request. The request will automatically be converted to multipart/form-data, with the above payload type defining the sub content-type for the data being passed.
- Unflatten
  By default we convert fields with double underscores into nested dictionaries. Select no here to turn this behavior off.

- Table/ViewRequired
  We expect at least one unique (and usually autoincrement) primary key column so we can deduplicate records properly! Otherwise we will make a best guess on a random column to use to deduplicate.
- Order By
  Highly recommended! Usually you want the results to be most recent first so we can skim off only new results, so choose something like date_created or your autoincrement id. Column names that contain a space must be enclosed within brackets [ ].
- Dedupe Key
  We default to what the primary key is on the table as the unique key to deduplicate on. If you prefer another field, select it here.

New Table

- Lookup ColumnRequired

- URLRequired
  This should return a list of dictionaries of content type JSON in reverse chronological order. For example: [{"id":1234},{"id":1235}]
- Key
  If the returned JSON is not a list and is instead an object (maybe paginated), enter the key that contains the results. Example: "results", "items", "objects", etc... (children via dot syntax supported)
- Deduplication Key
  Zapier deduplicates the array we see each poll against the id key. If the id key does not exist, you should specify an alternative unique key to deduplicate off of. If neither are supplied, we fallback to looking for the shortest key with id in it otherwise we will raise an error.
- Xpath
  If the content fetched is XML or HTML, optionally define an xpath to extract data from the content. Will trigger whenever the content at the xpath changes!
- Basic Auth
  A pipe (|) separated username, password combo for standard HTTP authentication.
- Headers
  Key, value pairs to be added as headers in all requests.
Trigger

- Pick off a Child Key
  By default, Zapier gives you the entire payload of the webhook. If this is specified, Zapier will only grab the child key from the object(s) sent to Zapier. For example, given {"contact": {"name": "Mike"}}, add "contact" here to only return {"name": "Mike"}. Traverse more deeply nested children by using dot-separated syntax. Line item payloads will run your Zap for each instance of the child key.
Trigger
Instant
Try It
- URLRequired
  We recommend not putting any query string arguments in the URL (use "Query String Params" below).
- Query String Params
  These params will be URL-encoded and appended to the URL when making the request. Note: If you specify nothing for this field, we will automatically encode and include every field from the previous step in the query string. If you don't want this, use the "Custom Request" action.
- Send As JSON
  If "yes", this dumps the results directly to a key (set below) as JSON. If "no", we simulate a form.
- JSON key
  Only used if As JSON.
- Unflatten
  By default we convert fields with double underscores into nested dictionaries. Select no here to turn this behavior off.
- Basic Auth
  A pipe (|) separated username, password combo for standard HTTP authentication.
- Headers
  Key, value pairs to be added as headers in all requests.

- Body
  Zapier will pass this along raw. If you would like to provide complex JSON, try a "Code by Zapier" step to build the structure and pass it along here. For example, {"foo": "bar"} is perfectly valid.
