What is Zapier Integration?

Zapier integration allows you to connect AI Blog Generator with thousands of other apps and services. You can automatically trigger article generation, share content, or sync data between platforms.

Popular Zapier Workflows:

• Generate articles from new RSS feed items

• Create blog posts from new Google Sheets rows

• Send article notifications to Slack or Discord

• Save generated content to cloud storage

• Trigger content creation from form submissions

Setting Up Zapier Integration

1. Create a Zap in Zapier

1. Log in to your Zapier account at zapier.com

2. Click "Create Zap" to start building your automation

3. Choose your trigger app (e.g., Google Sheets, RSS, Form)

4. Set up the trigger event and test it

2. Add Webhook Action

1. In the Action step, search for "Webhooks by Zapier"

2. Select "POST" as the webhook method

3. Enter your AI Blog Generator webhook URL

4. Set the request format to JSON

3. Configure Webhook Data

Example webhook payload:

{
  "title": "Article Title",
  "keywords": "keyword1, keyword2",
  "content": "Article content",
