Zapier Integration API Documentation

Overview

This documentation describes the API for integrating with Zapier. The integration allows you to send lead information collected from your chats to Zapier, which can then be used to trigger actions in other platforms.

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using a chat ID and an API key.

• chat_id: The unique identifier for your chat

• api_key: A unique API key generated for the Zapier integration

Authentication parameters should be included in all API requests as query parameters.

Example:

https://your-api-domain.com/api/integrations/zapier/test_connection?chat_id=123&api_key=zc-a1b2c3d4e5f6...
