Integration overview
How the Zapier + DumplingAI workflow fits together
Use the Webhooks by Zapier POST action to call DumplingAI’s Image Extraction endpoint with your asset, then pass the OCR text, labels, and descriptions deeper into the 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. Pass a publicly accessible image URL or encoded binary data and specify whether you need text, labels, or both.
- 3
Distribute the annotations
Map the results into Formatter, Paths, or downstream app steps to continue the Zap. Hand the extracted text and tags to moderation flows, alt-text generators, or asset management tools.

Request payload
Send a reachable image URL or encoded binary plus optional toggles for OCR, labels, and descriptions.
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.
