Zapier
By integrating PixieBrix and Zapier, you can trigger actions in thousands of applications, on-demand, from your browser.
Unlike the Zapier Browser Extension, which sends the page URL and supports manual text entry, with PixieBrix, you can configure triggers that automatically pass information from the page to the Zap.
Creating a PixieBrix Zap
To create a Zap with a PixieBrix trigger, find the PixieBrix (1.1.0) App
Select the "New Push With Data" Trigger Event
Connecting your Zapier account
The PixieBrix/Zapier integration works in the opposite direction compared to other integrations with PIxieBrix. For Zapier, you'll enter a PixieBrix key into Zapier so that Zapier can register zaps with PixieBrix
Copying your Zapier API key
Open the PixieBrix Extension (visit app.pixiebrix.com and click "Open Browser Extension")
Open the Configure Services page from the Sidebar, find the Zapier row, and click "View Key"
Copy your key by clicking the copy button
Entering your Zapier API Key in Zapier
There are a couple screens where you can enter the key:
The "My apps" screen (see the Zapier documentation)
When configuring a Zap that uses the PixieBrix "New Push With Data" trigger
When configuring a Zap that uses the PixieBrix "New Push with Data Trigger", Zapier will prompt you to "Sign in to PixieBrix (1.1.0)".
Click the "Sign in to PixieBrix (1.1.0)" button, and paste the API Key that you copied from PixieBrix. Then click "Yes, Continue"
Configuring the Trigger Fields
Zap Identifier: A unique name to identify this Zap in PixieBrix. The name will be shown in the Zap dropdown when configuring a "Push data to Zapier" effect.
⚠️ The Zap Identifier you choose cannot be re-used across multiple Zaps
Field Names (Optional): one or more field names for information to pass from PixieBrix. The Field Names you enter here will be made available in the PixieBrix Page Editor when configuring the "Push to data Zapier" effect
Triggering the Zap from PixieBrix
To trigger your Zap from PixieBrix, attach the "Push data to Zapier" block
You'll need to set up a Zapier configuration
Select your Zap from the Zap dropdown. PixieBrix will automatically show the fields that you've configured for the Zap Trigger. You can pass data to the block just like any other block in PixieBrix.
