Zapier: Catch Hook Example using Credentials

Action

Posted by agiletortoise, Last update over 6 years ago

Example script demonstrates how to trigger a Zap at Zapier.com which has a “Catch Hook” trigger. This will prompt you to add a Catch Hook URL copied from Zapier.com the first time it is run. This URL will be stored as a credential.

To reuse this action for multiple zaps, duplicate it and edit the zapIdentifier var in the first script step to be a different unique identifier for each zap.

// Can be any string
// Pick something to identify credential
// used with this action in Settings > Credentials

const zapIdentifier = "Zapier-Example";

script

// authorize credential to load hookURL 
var credential = Credential.create(zapIdentifier, "Paste catch hook URL from Zap configuration at Zapier.com");
credential.addURLField("hookURL", "Hook URL");

if (credential.authorize()) {
	const hookURL = credential.getValue("hookURL");
	alert(hookURL);
	// Setup data you want passed to the Zap
	// Default pass title, body and full content of draft
	// Other values could be passed
	var data = {
		"title": draft.title,
		"body": draft.processTemplate("[[body]]"),
		"content": draft.content
	}

	// create HTTP and make POST request to Catch Hook
	var http = HTTP.create();
	var response = http.request({
	  "url": hookURL,
	  "method": "POST",
	  "data": data,
	  "headers": {
	    "Accept": "application/json"
		}
	});

	// log result
	console.log("HTTP Status: " + response.statusCode);
	console.log("HTTP Response: " + response.responseText);

	// if not 200 OK, fail the action
	// Otherwise Zapier successfully received post
	if (response.statusCode != 200) {
		context.fail();
	}
	else {
		console.log("Zap triggered");
	}
}
else {
