API: Send Data & Trigger Actions through Zapier

Send data from Kiosk Pro to another web app using Zapier. Zapier is a third-party service that connects hundreds of popular web apps, including Google Sheets, MailChimp and Salesforce, among others.

Kiosk Pro communicates with Zapier using a webhook - a URL published from within your Zapier account. Once the webhook is published, it can be referenced inside the JavaScript API call to Zapier along with a set of key:value pairs defining the data you’d like to send. Inside Zapier, calls to the webhook act as a trigger, which can be used to start an action in another app.

If the device is offline and unable to contact Zapier's servers, Kiosk Pro will store calls locally and send them when the device is reconnected to the internet.

Send Data to Zapier

Send Data to Zapier

This function sends a trigger to a Zapier webhook URL, passing data specified in the call.

Format	kp_Zapier_sendNotificationToZap(URL, data, callback);
Parameters	URL - [string] URL of Zapier webhook, created within your Zapier account, required. data - [string] array of key:value pairs in the format {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"..."keyN":"valueN"} callback - [string] name of callback function to be called, optional.
Callback format	callback(success);
Callback return values	success - if defined, the function was formatted correctly and sent to Zapier. Since Zapier is a high-volume server endpoint, they always return a success message when collecting webhooks, regardless of if there is a zap behind the webhook or if it is paused or not.
