Automations: Triggering Zaps

Table Of Contents

Requires Hubbub Pro+ 2.23.0 or above.

This support doc provides information for setting up automations using Zapier with Hubbub’s Save This feature.

When a website visitor fills out the Save This form, Hubbub can send a trigger to Zapier, which can then automate any actions you’d like. Below, we’ll describe an example of how to do this.

In Zapier, create a new Zap.

Using their AI tools to build your Zap? Start your request with “catch a webhook” and then tell it what you’d like to do afterwards. For example:

Or, to select the Trigger manually, select “Webhooks by Zapier.”

In the “App & Event” tab of the trigger settings, choose the Event “Catch Hook.”

In the “Trigger” tab, leave the “Pick off a Child Key” Field empty.

Zapier will create a unique webhook URL for this Zap, which you can see in the “Test” tab. Copy this URL to your clipboard.

In Hubbub > Save This > Automation Settings, toggle the “Enable Zapier” option on. This enables the feature and shows a Zap Webhook URL field. Paste the webhook URL into this field, and save the settings.

Now you can add any actions to your Zap that you’d like, such as sending a message in Slack or saving the data in a Google Sheet.

Pro Tip: If you’d like to trigger multiple Zaps, you can set up one “catchall” Zap, and have it trigger your other Zaps.
