IC5 and Zapier

[UncrownedGuard]

I'm not sure if it is part of the Beta testing or if anyone has played around with it, but I am quite curious as to how Zapier is involved with IC5.  I'm assuming it has not been removed, but I am at a loss on how the formatting will go now that HTML support has been dropped for the editor.  I played around with the test site a bit and it does not appear to offer Header or list support on markdown nor does it seem to handle paragraphs well.  Obviously, I am making huge assumptions as I do not have a Beta site running and I have no idea how Zapier will be integrated, but I was hoping for some more information.

It's a bit too broad of a question to answer with any real insight. What is it you want to do?

Zapier does not really have anything to do with the editor.  It's basically the same as it has always been.  Its integration point is not via screen scraping but instead via API (through the Integrations section of the ACP).

What @Randy Calvert said is correct.

The Zapier endpoint receives the content as plain HTML code and submits it to the community as plain HTML code.

It will NOT run through the HTML purifier and it will not run the profanity checks, it's literally saved as it is!

If you want to run any validation and manipulation, it has to happen before it's sent to your community.

Ok, this was actually what I was looking for.  I was worried that my input from Zapier would just be a "blob" of text instead of being able to be formatted.

Thank you @Matt, @Randy Calvert, and @Daniel F!!
