Zapier


On this page

Calibre’s built-in Zapier integration allows connecting Calibre to thousands of supported applications and create custom workflows based on your monitoring data. This article covers how to connect Zapier to Calibre, set up and manage workflows depending on your user permissions.

1. Connect to Zapier#

Connect your personal Calibre account directly in Zapier by visiting Calibre’s integrations page and clicking Connect Calibre to 5,000+ apps button.

You’ll be asked to approve read, subscribe and write access for one of your organisations. Once connected, you can create workflows directly in Zapier.

What Zapier can access#

  • Read: your Sites, Snapshots, deploys and Budget alerts.
  • Subscribe: start Zaps when a Snapshot completes or a Budget alert fires.
  • Write: create deploys and Snapshots.
  • Nothing else: Zapier can’t change Site settings, Test Profiles, Budgets or people.
  • Your Sites only: a connection belongs to the organisation you approved. Administrators’ connections reach every Site in it. Other roles reach the Sites in their Teams.

2. Create a Zap#

To create an automation, choose from pre-made Zap Templates or create a new one in Zapier:

You can set up Zaps based on two trigger events:

  • Budget Alert: when a set Budget is exceeded, at risk or met
  • Snapshot: when a new Snapshot is completed

You can also perform actions for selected Sites:

3. Manage Zapier connections#

The way you manage a Zapier connection depends on your role and who created the connection:

  • Administrators can check and revoke all Zapier connections in Manage → Connected apps:
List of Zapier connections enabled for an organisation
  • Anyone with any role can check and revoke connections they established in Profile → Connected apps:
List of Zapier connections enabled by you

You can also manage your connections in My Apps directly in Zapier. Revoking a connection will remove the link between Zapier and the selected personal Calibre account.

4. Manage your Zaps#

To manage your Zaps go to My Apps in Zapier and choose Calibre to see all Zaps:

If there are Zaps for a given Site, you will also see Zapier enabled in Site → Settings → Integrations:
