Integration overview
How the Zapier + DumplingAI workflow fits together
Use the Webhooks by Zapier POST action to submit the document to DumplingAI and map the extracted fields into your Zaps.
Integration steps
- 1
Add the Webhooks by Zapier POST action
Add a Webhooks by Zapier POST action right after your trigger so you can call DumplingAI without leaving the editor.
- 2
Configure the DumplingAI request
Select POST, switch to raw JSON mode, and add your DumplingAI API key as a custom header. Provide either a file URL or base64 file data, plus optional instructions that highlight key fields you need.
- 3
Route the extracted data
Map the results into Formatter, Paths, or downstream app steps to continue the Zap. Map labelled fields into finance tools, CRMs, or notification steps right away.

Best practices before you deploy
Authentication
Store the DumplingAI API key in the Webhooks header fields—Zapier keeps it encrypted and reusable across copies of the Zap.
Request payload
Provide a reachable document URL or base64-encoded file plus optional field-hint instructions.
Scaling & retries
Zapier automatically retries temporary errors, and you can add Looping plus Delay After Queue for extra resilience. If you process large keyword or URL lists, layer in Delay steps or Transfer tasks to stagger the workload.
