Fan out results to HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Drive, Slack, or any of Zapier’s 6,000+ integrations.

Integration overview

How the Zapier + DumplingAI workflow fits together

The Webhooks by Zapier POST action sends the video identifier to DumplingAI and returns ready-to-use transcript text.

Integration steps

  1. 1

    Trigger on new or updated videos

    Use the YouTube (by Google) trigger, an RSS trigger, or a scheduled Zap that feeds in video URLs from a spreadsheet or database.

  2. 2

    Add a Webhooks by Zapier POST step

    Point the request to the DumplingAI YouTube Transcript endpoint. Authenticate with your API key in the headers and send the video URL, plus any optional parameters, in JSON.

  3. 3

    Send the transcript where it needs to go

    Map `transcript_text` into Formatter, OpenAI, or downstream app steps. Create Notion pages, draft LinkedIn posts, or update CRM records automatically.

Technical checklist

Best practices before you deploy

Authentication headers

Add key-value pairs in the Webhooks by Zapier header section to pass your DumplingAI API key. Reference the docs to confirm the exact header name.

JSON body

Select raw JSON mode and include fields like `videoUrl`, `language`, or `includeTimestamps`. Use Zapier’s field mapping to pull data from triggers.

Zap timeouts

Zapier waits up to 30 seconds for webhook responses. DumplingAI typically returns well within that window, but the ‘Subscribe to snapshot’ option lets you handle rare delays gracefully.

FAQ

Answers before you connect Zapier to DumplingAI

Can I use DumplingAI in multi-step Zaps?

Yes. Place the Webhooks step wherever you need transcript data and map the output to later steps like Formatter, AI, or CRM actions.

Will long transcripts exceed Zapier’s limits?

Zapier supports payloads up to roughly 6 MB per step. Most transcripts fall well under that threshold, and you can trim or split text using Formatter if necessary.

How do I handle private YouTube videos?

As long as you can access the video URL and it still exposes a transcript, DumplingAI can retrieve it. Use Google Drive or private channel triggers to supply the link securely.
