Zapier Integration for Status Messages

[Robins Gupta]

Hello,

I would like to know if there be a way to connect status message updates via Zapier.

Regards,
Robin

When you say "Connect" are you looking to pull the status updates? If so, you could use a webhook

[Robins Gupta]

Yes. I mean when someone posts a status update, I could post it to a webhook via Zapier. 
 

Currently I am able to pull blogs, forums, files updates etc.

[Marc]

You would set up a webhook in the System>API section of your admin CP, adding the coreStatusesStatus_create webhook

[Robins Gupta]

I see. Does this eliminate the use of Zapier in this particular case?

[Marc]

That would of course depend on whether you have something else to receive the webhook data. If you do, then you wouldnt need zapier at all. Zapier however can be used as a webhook receiver, to then do with the data as you need on zapier

[Robins Gupta]

Got it, thanks!

Hello,

I have tried to use the webhook method and always getting this response from the hook:
 

 

No matter what i try, i cant get the "Status" or user info from the hook. Am i doing something wrong?

Tried wit Zapier too.
Zapier pulls following:
 

raw_body
{"firstComment":null,"followerCount":null,"groupsPosted":[],"hotStats":[],"editableTitle":true,"tableHoverUrl":false,"_followData":null,"skipContainerRebuild":false,"changed":[],"skipCloneDuplication":false,"reactBlurb":null,"likeBlurb":null,"reportData":null}

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

 

[Robins Gupta]

Thank you for acknowledging. Be waiting for the patch.

Cheers!

Also, 

I don’t know if this is relevant but “Status” updates do not show up in the list of Zapier event triggers.

All other events show in the list.

Status updates aren't supported via Zapier and it's not something we will be adding since they are deprecated in version 4 - https://invisioncommunity.com/deprecation-tracker/

Using a webhook is the preferred alternative, we will review the bug report and release a fix for that when we identify the issue.

Hi @Stuart Silvester, it’s okay. As long as the web hook works, I’ll be able to get what I want.
