■ Note You can also trigger a Zapier task from Arduino using the HTTP POST method
discussed in Chapter 3.
To set up a Zap, you first need to set up a free Zapier account. Once you have
completed account setup process, log in to Zapier at https://zapier.com/. Upon login,
you will be redirected to your account dashboard. As shown in Figure 12-16 , under the
My Zaps tab, click on the Make a New Zap button to start the Zap creation process.

As shown in Figure 12-17 , Step 1 requires you to choose a Trigger app and an
Action app.
Select Webhooks by Zapier from the Trigger app dropdown and select Catch Hook

Zap will be triggered. You will see the generated URL later. Figure 12-18 shows the trigger
selection.
