Zapier

Sends a set of named fields to a Zapier catch-hook URL, so any Zap can act on what the agent learned during the conversation.

Zapier sends data to a Zapier webhook. You define the fields, the agent fills them from the conversation, and the Zap on the other end does the rest: a row in a sheet, a CRM record, a Slack message.

The Add New Tool form for Zapier with Zapier Webhook URL and a list of fields
The Zapier form with the 4 default fields.

Before you start

In Zapier, create a Zap whose trigger is Webhooks by Zapier, Catch Hook, and copy the URL it gives you. It starts with https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/.

Configuring it

Open Tools under Build, choose Add tool, then Zapier. After the shared fields:

Field Type Default Notes
Tool Title Text Zapier Webhook Its ID, zapier_webhook, is shown under the field.
Description Text Send data to Zapier webhook Say when: Send the lead to Zapier once the caller has given their name and phone number.
AI Response Text Let me process that information through our system.
Zapier Webhook URL URL https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/ Required. Your Zap’s catch-hook URL.
Fields List 4 defaults The data sent, one row per field. At least one is required.

Each field row has a Field name and a Field description. The name is the key in the payload: it starts with a letter and uses only lower-case letters, digits and underscores. The description tells the agent what to put in it and needs at least 3 characters. Add Field adds a row; Remove field deletes one. The defaults:

Field name Field description
caller_name Name of the caller
caller_phone Phone number of the caller
call_summary Summary of the call
timestamp Call timestamp

Choose Add Tool, then Save the agent.

Behaviour and limits

  • The payload is a JSON object with one key per field. Turn the Zap on and send a test call so Zapier can sample the fields before you map them.
  • Field descriptions are instructions to the agent. Preferred callback time, as the caller said it gets a better value than time.
  • Nothing comes back to the agent. If the conversation depends on the result, use a Live Webhook.
  • The send is recorded as a tool call on the call’s page. See Call details.

Troubleshooting

  • The Zap never fires. The URL is the placeholder, or the Zap is off. Paste the full catch-hook URL and turn the Zap on.
  • Fields arrive empty. The agent had not collected them yet. Put the prerequisites in Description so it sends after collecting.
