Step 1 – Create a Zapier Trigger

Make A Zap

Once you’ve logged into your Zapier account, you’ll want to create a new Zap to get started connecting Zapier to OptinMonster. Select the Make A Zap button at the top of your account.

Click Make a Zap

Create Webhook Trigger

Next, Zapier will ask you what type of Trigger you want to create. We’ll be creating a Webhook Trigger, which we can connect directly to OptinMonster later.

Choose Webhook Trigger

Configure Webhook Trigger

Zapier will then provide a few configuration options for your Webhook Trigger. The first is whether you want your Webhook to behave as a Retrieve Poll or Catch Hook. Choose Catch Hook.

Select Catch Hook

Then click Save + Continue:

Click Save and Continue

Next, Zapier will provide you the option to Pick off a Child Key. This option is completely optional, and allows you to grab specific data passed by OptinMonster by it’s child key.

Leaving this option empty will allow you to grab all the data that OptinMonster passes for each campaign submission. If you want to grab only specific data, see our Webhook documentation for more information about the available child keys.

In this setup we’re going to leave this field empty and select the Continue button to proceed.

Click Continue

Webhook URL

Finally, Zapier will provide you with a Webhook URL. This will be used in the next steps to connect your Webhook to OptinMonster.

Copy Webhook URL

Step 2 – Connect Your Webhook to OptinMonster

It’s now time to connect your new Zapier Webhook to OptinMonster.

Create a Campaign

This step is relatively easy. Check out this document on creating your first campaign if you haven’t created a campaign yet.

Choose Webhook Integration

In the campaign Builder, select the Integrations tab to view the Integrations panel.

Click Integrations Tab

Choose Webhook from the Email Provider dropdown.

Select Webhook

Then, choose Add new account.

Choose Add New Account

Enter the Webhook URL

Next, paste the Webhook URL provided by Zapier into the corresponding field. You also want to add a unique Account Label for easy identification!

IMPORTANT: The account label is for your internal use only, to easily identify specific integrations. You might find a naming convention like “Zapier Webhook to Gmail”, replacing ‘Gmail’ with your Zap’s Action App, useful.

Then select the Connect with Webhook button.

Add Webhook URL

Once connected, you’ll see the following message in the Integrations panel:

View URL and Data Format

Test Webhook in Zapier

The final step is to test your Webhook in Zapier to ensure it’s properly connected. Return to the Zap setup screen in your Zapier account and select the OK, I did this button to test.

Click OK I Did This

If successful you’ll see a success message in Zapier:

Confirm Test Successful

Step 3 – Configure Your Zapier Action

Now that you’ve successfully connected your Zapier Webhook to OptinMonster, you’re ready to configure what Zapier should do with the data OptinMonster sends for each campaign submission.

Select the Continue button in the Zap setup screen to proceed.

Click Continue

Zapier offers 500+ apps you can connect to. To get started connecting your Webhook Trigger with a specific Action App checkout Zapier’s playbook for webhooks.
