How to Get Your Zapier Webhook URL

This guide will walk you through the process of creating a webhook URL in Zapier and connecting it to your AmbirScan application. This integration allows your scanned documents, Business Cards or ID’s to automatically trigger workflows in Zapier, enabling you to connect with thousands of other apps like Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and more.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Log in to Zapier and Create a New Zap

Go to your Zapier dashboard at https://zapier.com and click the "Create" button to start building a new Zap.

Step 2: Set Up Your Trigger

In the Zap editor, you'll see two main components: a Trigger and an Action. Click on the Trigger section to configure it.

Step 3: Search for and Select "Webhooks by Zapier"

In the app search field, type "Webhooks" and select "Webhooks by Zapier" from the list of apps. You'll find this under "Popular built-in tools" section.

Step 4: Choose "Catch Hook" as the Event

From the list of available events, select "Catch Hook". This event type triggers when a POST, PUT, or GET request is made to your Zapier webhook URL.

Step 5: Configure the Webhook (Optional)

On the configuration screen, you can optionally pick off a child key. For most use cases with AmbirScan, you can leave this blank and click "Continue".

Step 6: Copy Your Webhook URL

Zapier will now generate a unique webhook URL for you. This is the URL you'll need to connect AMBIRscan. Click the "Copy" button next to the webhook URL to copy it to your clipboard.

Important: Save this URL - you'll need it in the next steps!

Step 7: Open AmbirScan Settings

Open your AmbirScan. Click on settings and hit edit next to a cloud document scanning destination like google drive or select Zapier as a destination for ID or Business Card and hit edit.

Step 8: Paste the Webhook URL into AMBIRscan

In the Zapier Integration section, paste the webhook URL you copied from Zapier into the "Webhook URL" field. Then click the "Connect Zapier" button.

Step 9: Verify the Connection

Once connected, you should see a "Connected" status indicator. The webhook URL will be displayed, and you'll see options to test the connection or disconnect.

Step 10: Test Your Connection (Back in Zapier)

Return to Zapier and click "Test trigger". Scan a document in AmbirScan to send a test webhook. Zapier should receive the test data and display it. You can then select a test record to continue building your Zap.

You're All Set!

Your AmbirScan application is now connected to Zapier. Every time you scan a document, it will automatically trigger your Zap workflow. From here, you can add actions in Zapier.
