Automate social posting with Zapier. Webhooks by Zapier, both ways.
Zapier talks to the Postbroad API with Webhooks by Zapier. A Custom Request creates a draft from any Zap, and a Catch Hook starts a Zap when Postbroad reports that a post went live or failed.
Connect Zapier in three steps.
Zapier works with Postbroad through the Postbroad API, with an API key you make in Postbroad.
- Make an API keyIn Postbroad, open your organization settings, then API keys. Give the key only the brands this workflow needs, and keep it out of shared files.
- Create a draft with a Custom RequestAdd a Webhooks by Zapier action, choose Custom Request, and post to /v1/posts with your key.
- Start Zaps from PostbroadUse a Catch Hook trigger and add its address in Postbroad as a webhook endpoint for the events you want.

"destinations": [{ "channelId": "<channelId>" }]
}- Scheduling from Zapier takes a preview, then a schedule call with the receipt the preview returns. Creating drafts and scheduling them in Postbroad is simpler.
- Keep the Catch Hook address private: anyone with it can start the Zap.
