Zapier

Any Zapier trigger, whether a new form entry, a payment or a calendar event, can end with a Pocketbell notification.

This uses an API Source and Webhooks by Zapier, which needs a paid Zapier plan.

  1. In the Pocketbell app, create a Source named Zapier, choose API, and copy its key.
  2. In your Zap, add an action step: Webhooks by Zapier, event POST.
  3. Fill in:
    • URL: https://api.pocketbell.dev/v1/messages

    • Payload Type: JSON

    • Data, one row per field:

      Key Value
      title Text, or a field from an earlier step
      message Text, or a field from an earlier step
      priority normal, or important, or critical
    • Headers: Authorization with the value Bearer pb_live_…

  4. Test the step. The notification arrives, and Zapier shows Pocketbell’s answer, with the notification’s id and status.
  • Zapier builds the JSON from the rows, so a mapped field with quotes or line breaks in it arrives as written.
  • priority can be any of silent, quiet, normal, important and critical. Leave the row out for the Source’s default: an empty value is refused.
  • To add a link, add rows url and url_title.
