Integration overview

How the Zapier + DumplingAI workflow fits together

Use the Webhooks by Zapier POST action to call DumplingAI with the page you need, wait conditions, and output preferences, then feed the scraped data into the rest of your Zaps.

Integration steps

  1. 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. 2

    Configure the DumplingAI request

    Select POST, switch to raw JSON mode, and add your DumplingAI API key as a custom header. Include the page URL you want to crawl plus any optional wait conditions or formatting preferences your workflow needs.

  3. 3

    Distribute the scraped data

    Map the results into Formatter, Paths, or downstream app steps to continue the Zap. Forward the HTML, metadata, or extracted text into enrichment, change-detection, or publishing steps.

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

Send the page URL plus any optional instructions such as wait-for selectors, viewport sizes, or rendering preferences.

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.
