Getting started with Zapier
- Create a new Zapier account to automatically enroll in a 14 day free trial.
- Create your Zap and configure your webhook URL but do not enable your Zap quite yet.
- Provide the generated Catch Hook URL to your triggering app and perform an action to trigger a webhook.
- Return to Zapier and click "Load Samples" or "Reload Samples" in step 4 to view incoming payloads.
- Finish editing your Zap and enable it.
Tips
- Make sure to add something to the payload when sending a webhook, as completely empty webhook requests sent to your Zap will be ignored.
- Treat your Catch Hook URL as a password or secret, because anyone who finds it can spam it and trigger your Zap.
- Add /silent to the end of the webhook URL if your triggering app requires an empty response body.
