Zapier integration
Trigger Zapier automations (Zaps) via webhook. Send JSON, XML, or form-encoded data to a Zapier webhook catch URL to start any Zap. Supports POST, PUT, and GET. Send an array of JSON objects to trigger the Zap once per object. No authentication required - the webhook URL itself serves as the secret. Maximum payload size 10MB (2MB for Catch Raw Hook). Append /silent/ to a Catch Raw Hook URL for an empty response.

The workflow builds itself.
Common Zapier use cases

- external integration
- API integration
- event-driven automation
What you can do with Zapier
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.
trigger_webhookTrigger webhookPOSTTriggers a Zap via its webhook catch URL with custom data.
Zapier API rate limits
- 4,000 requests per minute
20,000 requests every 5 minutes per user (1,000 requests every 5 minutes per Zap on legacy webhook routes). Exceeding returns 429. No rate-limit response headers are provided; retry any non-200 response using exponential backoff.
These are the limits Zapier documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Zapier documentation for current values.
Use Zapier from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect Zapier in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Zapier operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {
"livecontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
