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.

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.
