Using SendPilot API Actions

To call SendPilot API from Zapier, use Webhooks by Zapier (Custom Request):

​
Add Leads Example

Action: Webhooks by Zapier - Custom Request
  Method: POST
  URL: https://api.sendpilot.ai/api/v1/leads
  Headers:
    X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
    Content-Type: application/json
  Body (JSON):
    {
      "campaignId": "campaign_id_here",
      "leads": [
        {
          "linkedinUrl": "{{LinkedIn URL}}",
          "firstName": "{{First Name}}",
          "lastName": "{{Last Name}}",
          "company": "{{Company}}"
        }
      ]
    }

​
Update Lead Status Example

Action: Webhooks by Zapier - Custom Request
  Method: PATCH
  URL: https://api.sendpilot.ai/api/v1/leads/{{lead_id}}/status
  Headers:
    X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
    Content-Type: application/json
  Body (JSON):
    {
      "status": "REPLY_RECEIVED"
    }

​
Best Practices

Add a Filter step to process only specific events. Filter by eventType to handle different events differently.
Add error handling paths in your Zaps to catch API failures.
Zapier has its own rate limits. Use delays between actions if processing many events.
Always test with real data before going live.

​
Webhook Payload Reference

When SendPilot sends a webhook to Zapier, the payload looks like: 
{
  "eventId": "evt_123456789",
  "eventType": "message.received",
  "timestamp": "2024-02-24T10:30:00.000Z",
  "workspaceId": "ws_abc123",
  "data": {
    "leadId": "lead_xyz",
    "campaignId": "camp_123",
    "linkedinUrl": "https://linkedin.com/in/john-doe",
    "replyPreview": "Thanks for reaching out..."
  }
}
Use these fields in your Zapier actions with the {{field_name}} syntax.
