From Number
Will attempt to send from this number, falling back to a random number if no longer available or unspecified.
MessageRequired
Messages should not contain any reference to alcohol, illegal drugs, cannabis/CBD, firearms, gambling, prescription medication, tobacco, or adult content, and comply with Twilio's Messaging Policy. Messages exceeding 153 characters will truncate.
Feed URLRequired
Paste your publicly accessible RSS URL here.
Username
If required to access the feed.
Password
If required to access the feed.
What Triggers a New Feed Item?
This is an advanced option. Go with the recommended unless you're a total pro ;)
Try ItURLRequired
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 theid
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 withid
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.
Try ItPick 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.

What is the MIME type for your raw file? Defaults to
audio/mpeg
.Media Length in Bytes

.Pubdate
Most people would put "now", but you can change it to something like "tomorrow" or "next week monday at 7pm" or "2013-08-23 12:00:00 +0800"! Note, we do not order by pubdate, just by order inserted.
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.

If yes, request

below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers though, likeContent-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.
