Zapier

Connect PostPost to 5,000+ apps using Zapier's Webhooks feature.

Prerequisites

• Zapier account (Free tier works)
• PostPost API key from app.postpost.dev
• At least one social account connected in PostPost

Note: For the platforms array, you may need to use Zapier's Formatter to split the semicolon-separated values.

Using Formatter for Platforms Array

3. Input: {{Platforms}}
4. Separator: ;

https://api.postpost.dev/api/v1/create-post

Data:

{
  "content": "📰 {{Title}}\n\n{{Description}}\n\nRead more: {{Link}}",
  "platforms": ["twitter-123456789", "linkedin-ABC123DEF"]
}

  "content": "Happy Monday! What are you working on this week? Share in the comments! 👇",
  "platforms": ["twitter-123456789", "linkedin-ABC123DEF", "threads-987654321"]
}

Handling Responses

Success Response

PostPost returns:

{
  "success": true,
  "postGroupId": "pg_abc123xyz"
}

You can use Zapier's Paths or Filter to handle this:

• Continue workflow if success is true
• Send alert if success is false

Error Handling

Add a Paths step after the webhook:

Path A: If success equals true

• Continue with success actions (e.g., update spreadsheet, send Slack notification)

Path B: If success does not equal true

• Send error notification via email or Slack
• Log to error spreadsheet

Finding Your Platform IDs

To get your platform connection IDs for Zapier:

Option 1: Use the API

curl https://api.postpost.dev/api/v1/platform-connections \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Option 2: Zapier Webhook GET

Create a simple Zap:

1. Trigger: Schedule by Zapier → Every Day
2. Action: Webhooks by Zapier → GET
3. URL: https://api.postpost.dev/api/v1/platform-connections
4. Headers: x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Run it once and check the response to get your platform IDs.

Tips and Best Practices

1. Test First: Always use Zapier's test feature before enabling a Zap
2. Rate Limits: Add a 1-second delay between multiple webhook calls
3. Error Notifications: Set up email alerts for failed Zaps
4. Content Length: Be mindful of platform character limits (Twitter: 280, LinkedIn: 3000, etc.)
5. Scheduling: Use ISO 8601 format for scheduledTime (e.g., 2026-03-01T14:00:00.000Z)

Common Issues

"Invalid API Key"

• Check that your API key is correctly entered in the headers
• Ensure there are no extra spaces

"Invalid Platform ID"

• Verify your platform IDs using the GET /platform-connections endpoint
• Platform IDs look like twitter-123456789 or linkedin-ABC123DEF

"Scheduled time is in the past"

• Make sure your scheduledTime is in the future
• Use UTC timezone (ends with Z)
