Goal

You want to configure a Zap step to pass through all of the data from a previous Zap step via an API request without having to map all of the data points.

 

Zap App

Webhooks by Zapier: Used to make custom API requests.

 

OPTIONS

  • Webhooks - GET
  • Webhooks - POST / PUT
  • Webhooks - Custom Request

 

OPTION: Webhooks - GET

Section: Query String Params

NOTE: These params will be URL-encoded and appended to the URL when making the request. Note: If you specify nothing for this field, we will automatically encode and include every field from the previous step in the query string.

Click the underlined field label to see a tooltip with more info.

 

OPTION: Webhooks - POST / PUT

Section: Data

NOTE: These are key-value pairs that will form the data portion of the request. If you leave these empty, all fields from the previous step will be used.

Click the underlined field label to see a tooltip with more info.

 

OPTION: Webhooks - Custom Request

Field: Data Pass-Through?

NOTE: If true/yes, request data below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers thought, like Content-Type).

Thank you so much for posting this, ​@Troy Tessalone! It’s going to be so useful for folks wanting to send everything through without having to map all the individual fields from a previous step! 🧡
