Zapier connects by pointing a Zap’s webhook URL at Watx. When one of the events below happens, Watx POSTs signed JSON to that URL and your Zap runs. There is no Zapier account to link and no API key to paste. One connection is one Zap. Add as many as you like; each subscribes to its own events.

​
Connect a Zap

1

Create a Zap

In Zapier, start a Zap with the Webhooks by Zapier trigger, choose Catch Hook, and copy the custom webhook URL it gives you.
2

Paste it into Watx

Integrations → Zapier → Connect, paste the URL, and tick which events should trigger it. The URL must be https://.
3

Test and turn it on

Press Send test on the new connection, confirm Zapier picked it up in your Zap history, then publish your Zap.

​
The events

Pick at least one. You can change the selection later from the connection’s card.

​
The signing secret

A signing secret is shown once, immediately after you connect. It is optional for Zapier: the Catch Hook trigger accepts the request either way. Use it if you want a Code by Zapier step to verify the X-Watx-Signature header before acting on the payload. The full payload shape and the verification recipe are on Webhooks.

​
Managing a connection

Each connected Zap is a card showing its URL, the events it subscribes to, whether it is Active or Paused, and when it last received a delivery.
The test event is zapier.test, and it stays that way — Zaps filtering on that name are already live.

​
Delivery, retries and failures

A delivery is attempted up to five times with an increasing gap. When every attempt for one event fails, the connection counts one consecutive delivery failure; the card shows the running count with a hint to check that the Zap is still published and its Catch Hook URL has not changed. After 15 consecutive failures the connection is switched off automatically, so a dead endpoint is not retried for ever. A successful delivery resets the count to zero.

​
Zapier in the other direction

This page is about Watx telling Zapier something happened. To have an automation call a Zap mid-sequence — with the contact and the message in hand — use the Zapier preset in Other services instead.
