I’ve been trying to figure out how to set up a Zapier Zap trigger that I can use in a button on my website or in a rich email. I know how to add regular links to buttons, but I’m stumped when it comes to Zapier.
Is there a way to create a special Zapier URL that will start a Zap when clicked? I’ve searched online but haven’t found any clear instructions. I’m hoping someone here knows the steps to make this happen.
It would be really helpful if I could add this kind of trigger to my HTML buttons. Has anyone done this before or know if it’s even possible with Zapier? Any tips or guidance would be much appreciated!
I’ve actually implemented this for a client recently. The process is straightforward but not immediately obvious. You’ll want to use Zapier’s Webhook feature. Here’s what worked for me:
Create a new Zap and choose ‘Webhooks by Zapier’ as the trigger.
Select ‘Catch Hook’ as the webhook type.
Zapier will generate a unique URL for you.
Use this URL in your HTML button or email link.
When someone clicks the link, it triggers the Zap. You can then set up actions based on that trigger. Just remember to test it thoroughly before going live. Also, be cautious about sharing the URL publicly, as anyone with access could potentially trigger your Zap.
hey elizabeths, i’ve done this before! zapier has a ‘Webhooks by Zapier’ trigger that lets u create custom URLs. Just make a new zap, pick that trigger, n it’ll give u a unique URL. u can use that in ur buttons or emails to start the zap. hope this helps!
I’ve implemented something similar in my projects. The key is using Zapier’s Webhook feature. When you create a new Zap, choose ‘Webhooks by Zapier’ as your trigger and select ‘Catch Hook’. Zapier will generate a unique URL for you. This URL is what you’ll use in your HTML buttons or email links.
Remember to secure this URL, as it can trigger your Zap when accessed. I usually add some basic authentication or use a secret key in the URL parameters for added security. Also, make sure to thoroughly test your setup before deploying it live. This approach has worked well for me in automating various workflows across different platforms.
