Zapier Webhook

Trigger a Zap from MindStudio

The Zapier Webhook Block allows your AI Agent to trigger and send data to a Zapier Zap. This enables seamless integration with thousands of apps supported by Zapier — including Google Sheets, Slack, Salesforce, Gmail, and more. Ideal for pushing data out of MindStudio into external systems without writing custom code.


Configurations

Webhook URL

Enter the full webhook URL from your Zapier "Catch Hook" trigger. This is where the data payload will be sent when the block runs.

Example: https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/abcde

To create a webhook in Zapier, choose “Webhooks by Zapier” as your trigger app and select Catch Hook.


Data

Define the payload to send with the request using key-value pairs. You can include variables in the values to send dynamic content from earlier blocks in your workflow.

Add a Field: Use the + Add button to create a new key-value pair.

Supported Format:

  • Keys must be plain strings (e.g., "email", "subject").

  • Values can be strings or variables (e.g., {{user_email}}, {{summary_text}}).

Example 1: Lead Capture

Key
Value

email

{{user_email}}

source

Lead Form

Example 2: Task Creation

Key
Value

title

{{task_name}}

due_date

{{formatted_due_date}}


Output Variable

You can store the response from the Zapier webhook (if any) in a variable for use later in the workflow.

Example: Set Output Variable to zap_response to use the returned data in another block.


How It Works

  1. The block sends a POST request to the configured Zapier webhook URL.

  2. The defined key-value pairs are included in the body of the request.

  3. If Zapier returns a response (e.g., confirmation, generated data), the response is stored in the specified output variable.

  4. The workflow continues to the next connected block.


Best Practices

  • Test Your Zap: Use sample data to ensure your Zapier trigger and actions are correctly configured.

  • Use Descriptive Keys: Make your key names easy to understand for downstream Zap steps.

  • Validate Webhook Behavior: In Zapier, check the task history to view the payloads received from MindStudio.

  • Secure Sensitive Data: Avoid sending sensitive information unless your Zapier endpoint and downstream apps are secure.
