Zap Summary

We will create a Zapier Zap to send data to a webhook and then to Google Sheets.

Zapier Flow: Webhook -> Google Sheets

​
Create a Zapier Zap

  1. Go to Zapier and sign in.
  1. Click on the “Create a Zap” button.
  1. Select “Webhook” as the trigger. Setup the trigger to listen for a request.
  1. Configure the webhook trigger event to “Catch Hook”
  1. After configuring you will get a webhook URL. Copy it for later use.
  1. Now test the webhook by sending a request to the URL. Here is an example CURL request:
Send data to webhook
curl -X POST "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/xyz" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name": "Sagor3", "email": "sagor3@gmail.com"}'
Response from webhook
{
  "attempt": "0194d08d-fc38-c8c0-482e-7e202b923762",
  "id": "0194d08d-fc38-c8c0-482e-7e202b923762",
  "request_id": "0194d08d-fc38-c8c0-482e-7e202b923762",
  "status": "success"
}

You can see the send data in Webhook test section.

  1. Now add another trigger “Google Sheets”
  1. Configure it “Create Spreadsheet Row(s)” as the trigger.
  1. Configure it more with your Google Sheet, sheet name, column names etc. Remember while filling the column you can point the value from webhook data.
  1. Now test the zap by clicking on the “Test” button. You can see the test results in “Data in” and “Data out” section.
  1. Now you can see the data in your Google Sheet.

​
Zapier Webhook Integration with Verbex

  1. Go to your Verbex agent page. Select your agent to configure the tool.
  2. Click on the “Tools” tab and select “Custom Tools” from the left sidebar.
  1. Fill the custom tool details with Zapier Webhook Integration details.
  1. Click on the “Create Tool” button to save the tool.
  2. Now everything is setup and you can test your agent with the tool.

You can test the tool by asking the agent to store your name and email in Zapier and Google Sheet. It will ask your name and email and store it in Zapier and Google Sheet.
