Zapier
Receive Straddle Events using Zapier
This guide walks you through integrating Zapier with Straddle so that you can trigger automated workflows (Zaps) whenever events occur in Straddle—no code required.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A Straddle account with access to the Webhooks section in the dashboard
- A Zapier account
You will need at least Developer level to see the Webhooks section in the Straddle dashboard.
Implementation Steps
Best Practices & Security Considerations
- Credential Safety — Store your IntegrationKey in a secure secret-management system, this is sensitive information.
- Key Rotation — If you regenerate the IntegrationKey in Straddle, update each created Zap to avoid broken triggers.
- Retries & Idempotency — Zapier automatically retries failed webhooks, but make sure your downstream systems can gracefully handle duplicate payloads.
- Logging — Enable logging inside your Zap (via “Zap History”) to simplify debugging.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Likely Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| “401 Unauthorized” in Zapier test | Incorrect ApplicationId or IntegrationKey | Re-copy the credentials from Straddle Dashboard → Webhooks |
| No events appear during “Find Data” | The chosen event hasn’t occurred yet | Trigger the event in a test environment, or toggle “Skip Test” and finish setup |
| Zap stops firing after key rotation | Old IntegrationKey still used | Update the key in Zapier → My Apps → Straddle |
| Duplicate downstream records | Zap retries combined with non-idempotent Action | Deduplicate using a unique webhook id field or add a Filter step |

That’s it! By following these steps, you’ll have Straddle piping real-time events straight into Zapier—unlocking limitless automation possibilities across your entire stack.
