1.Catch backup completion webhook
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and webhook tools to map backup status, run timestamp, run identifier, and storage link to variables
Post completed backup notices to on-call engineering channel
Automatically catch backup completion webhooks across Webhooks by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, and Slack. Send private channel messages when backups complete, backups fail, or artifacts go missing—so you can verify runs, access storage links, and notify on-call without manual status updates.
How this automation protects your restore readiness
When backup webhooks arrive without a fast notification, engineers lose time validating runs and restoring. This automation catches webhook signals and posts Slack confirmations with storage links—so your team can verify backups without chasing updates.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
