Payload Zapier Plugin

This plugin can be added to a Payload project to make it simple to send Zaps to a zapier webhook address when collection data changes. It is designed to be flexible and generic to allow for all use-cases to manage zaps.

How it works

When a collection is created/updated/deleted, the plugin will send a Zap to the webhook address. The Zap will contain the collection name, the operation (create/update/delete), and the data related to the document.

We recommend starting with the Zapier Paths + Webhooks template to get started. See here. Using Paths, will allow you to handle many different types of data and operations coming from Payload.

Requirements

• A Zapier account with 1 webhook configured. More
• A Payload project

Plugin Config Example

/* file: payload.config.ts */

import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import path from 'path'
import Users from './collections/Users'
import { zapierPlugin } from '@payloadcms/plugin-zapier'

export default buildConfig({
  // ...rest of your config goes here
  plugins: [
    zapierPlugin({
      collections: ['posts'],
      webhookURL: 'https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/abcdef/',
      enabled: async req => {
        // -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
        // `enabled` can be a boolean OR a function that returns a boolean.
        //
        // if it is a function, it will be passed the following arguments:
        //  - all arguments from the hook that triggered the Zap
        //  - operation (create/update/delete)
        // -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
        return req.user.role === 'admin'
      },
    }),
  ],
})
