Supported triggers and actions

What does this mean?
    • 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.

    Action

    • 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 ;)

    Trigger
    Scheduled
    Try It
    • 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
    Scheduled
    Try It
    • 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

    Try It
    • Feed URLsRequired

      Paste publicly accessible RSS URLs, one per line. Maximum of 10.

    • What Triggers a New Feed Item?

      This is an advanced option. Go with the recommended unless you're a total pro ;)

    Trigger
    Scheduled
    Try It
    • Feed URLRequired

      Customize the private URL for this RSS feed. Letters, numbers, and hyphens only, no spaces.

    • Feed Title

      Defaults to "A Feed Called X" where X is the last portion of the feed's url from above.

    • Max Records

      50 is the max, but this allows you to reduce the number of items returned in the feed.

    • Item TitleRequired

      The title of the item to publish.

    • Source URLRequired

      Provide a source URL for where this item is permanently hosted. Most RSS readers turn the title into a clickable link to this URL.

    • ContentRequired

      Provide the plain text or HTML content of the feed item.

    • Automatically Truncate Messages over 10KB?

      Use this field to control whether Zapier will truncate data over the 10kb limit (select Yes), or generate an error if the data is too large (select No). See our Help for more information.

    • Author Name

    • Author Email

    • Author Link

    • Media URL

      Specify a raw download URL for your podcast file, image, or other media file.

    • Media MIME Type

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

    • Media Length in Bytes

      Some players require a valid length. Defaults to 0.

    • 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.

  • Webhooks by Zapier triggers, actions, and search

    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.
