Note: This feature has been replaced by our Zapier triggers, but remains active if you prefer to use Hello Audio Actions to send a webhook to Zapier.
Zapier allows for incoming webhooks to trigger an automation zap. Note that this does require the Zapier Pro plan to access their Webhooks trigger, and a Hello Audio Powerhouse plan to access Actions.
In Zapier, create a new Zap and search for Webhooks as the trigger.
Choose "Catch Hook" for the trigger event and click "Continue", then "Continue" again. (No need to "Pick off a Child Key".)
Click "Copy" for the URL shown and then head to your Hello Audio Actions at https://app.helloaudio.fm/actions
Choose what'd you'd like for "When this happens..." and then pick "POST to a Webhook" for the second selector.
Paste the URL you copied from Zapier in the URL field. In the Headers JSON field type a pair of empty curly brackets:
{}In the body, type the fields you'd like to pass to Zapier. This could include the email address, feed title, and episode title if you'd like.
It must be formatted exactly as shown below. Feel free to copy/paste from here into your action setup.
{
"Listener Email": "[[email]]",
"Feed Title": "[[feed]]",
"Episode Title": "[[episode]]"
}This is how your action should appear:
Click "Save This Action". You should now see it in your list of actions down below.
Click "Test Action" to fire off the webhook. It takes a minute or two to send the action. Refresh the page after waiting a bit and you'll see the test action in your Action History list.
If it failed for some reason, it will appear red. Click Edit Action for your webhook and make changes as necessary, then test again.
When you have a successful webhook in your Action History, head back to Zapier. Click Continue and Test Trigger.
You'll see the successful trigger with the information you passed from Hello Audio. You're ready to use those fields in later steps of your Zap!
