1.Catches hook from webhook
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and API endpoint tools to catch operator command payloads and trigger the runbook path.
Run operator commands from messaging to trigger jobs
Automatically catch operator commands from Webhooks by Zapier across automation and backend APIs. Create job-ready payloads, route only supported keywords, and call internal endpoints when webhook commands arrive—so you can execute runbook jobs, acknowledge requests, and handle unknown commands without manual triage.
How this automation executes runbook jobs from commands
When Catch Hook receives operator command payloads, delays can stall runbook execution and require constant human review. This automation routes supported commands, prepares and validates job parameters, and posts requests via Webhooks by Zapier—so your team can run jobs reliably.

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.

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.
