Zapier Integration

What is the Zapier Integration?

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects over 6,000 apps together. Our native Zapier integration allows you to use any APIVerve API directly within your Zaps without writing a single line of code.

The integration features dynamic inputs - when you select an API, Zapier automatically presents the correct input fields for that specific API. This means you can switch between Email Validation, QR Code Generation, Weather Forecasts, or any other API and the interface adapts accordingly.

Before You Start

To use APIVerve with Zapier, you'll need:

• An APIVerve account with an active subscription (Starter, Pro, or Mega)
• A Zapier account (free tier works for basic Zaps)

Connecting APIVerve to Zapier

Setting up the connection takes just a few minutes. Once connected, you can use any APIVerve API in all your Zaps.

Step 1: Create a New Zap

Log into Zapier and click "Create Zap" to start building your automation. Every Zap starts with a trigger - the event that kicks off your workflow.

Step 2: Choose Your Trigger

Select the app and event that will start your Zap. Popular triggers for API workflows include new rows in Google Sheets, form submissions, incoming emails, or scheduled intervals. Zapier offers thousands of trigger options across 6,000+ apps.

Step 3: Add APIVerve as an Action

After setting up your trigger, click the "+" button to add an action step. Search for "APIVerve" and select it from the results. You'll be prompted to connect your account.

Step 4: Sign In with OAuth

Click "Sign in" and you'll be redirected to APIVerve's login page. Sign in with your APIVerve account credentials and authorize the connection. Zapier will securely connect to your account without you needing to copy any API keys.

Step 5: Select Your API and Configure

Once connected, you'll see a dropdown with all available APIs. Select the one you need, and Zapier will display the input fields specific to that API. Map data from your trigger step to these fields - for example, mapping an email address from a form submission to the Email Validator API's input field.

Step 5: Test and Publish

Click "Test step" to verify everything works correctly. Zapier will make a real API call and show you the response. Once satisfied, turn on your Zap and it will run automatically whenever your trigger fires.

Popular Use Cases

Here are some of the most common ways developers use APIVerve with Zapier:

Lead Validation Pipeline

Automatically validate new leads before they enter your CRM. When a new contact is added to HubSpot or Salesforce, use the Email Validator API to check if the email is valid and deliverable, then update the contact record with the validation status. This keeps your CRM clean and improves email deliverability.

Data Enrichment Workflows

Enhance form submissions with additional context. When someone fills out a contact form, use the IP Lookup API to determine their location, or the Domain Info API to learn more about their company. Store the enriched data in Google Sheets or your database for better lead qualification.

Automated Asset Generation

Generate QR codes, screenshots, or other assets automatically. When a new product is added to your inventory system, trigger the QR Code Generator to create a scannable code, then save it to Dropbox or attach it to the product record.

Tips for Success

Get the most out of your Zapier integration with these best practices:

• Test with real data - Always test your Zap with actual data before enabling it in production
• Use Zapier Paths - Create conditional branches based on API responses to handle different scenarios
• Monitor your usage - Check your APIVerve dashboard regularly to track token consumption
• Add filters - Use Zapier filters to skip API calls when they're not needed, saving tokens
• Chain APIs together - Multi-step Zaps can call multiple APIVerve APIs in sequence

Troubleshooting

Can't Connect Your Account?

If the connection fails, double-check that your API key is correct with no extra spaces. Verify your APIVerve subscription is active and you're on a paid plan. Try creating a fresh connection if the issue persists.

API Step Returning Errors?

Check that all required fields are filled in and the data format is correct. For example, the Email Validator expects a valid email format. Review your token balance in the APIVerve dashboard - if you've run out of tokens, API calls will fail.

Hitting Rate Limits?

If you're processing large batches of data, you may hit rate limits. Add delays between Zap executions or consider upgrading your APIVerve plan for higher limits. Zapier also offers throttling settings for high-volume workflows.
