Automations

You can use Zapier to automate your workflow. We expose several Triggers that you can use to make life easier. For instance, you can automatically post to Instagram when your new episode is published.

Zapier Triggers

You can use our Zapier Triggers to automate your workflow. Triggers are starting points for your automations. We expose triggers for:

  • Episode Published:

    • This trigger starts instantly when you publish an episode in your show. The trigger exposes data about the episode, including title, description, website link, audio and image links, and more

  • Episode Live Start:

    • This trigger starts when an episode in your show starts a live broadcast. It exposes the same data as the Episode Published trigger

Zapier can connect Podhome with thousands of applications. Here are some examples of how you can automate your workflow:

  • Automatically post to LinkedIn when you publish a new episode

  • Send an email to a list of people in SendGrid when you publish a new episode

  • Schedule a social media post for multiple channels in Hootsuite when you publish a new episode

Zapier Actions

In a Zapier workflow (also called a Zap), you can use Actions). We expose the action:

  • Create new Episode

    • This action creates a new episode in Podhome, and will process the media file that you feed it, and run Podhome AI if you want

You can for instance use this action to:

  • Create a new episode in Podhome when you add a new file to DropBox, Google Drive or OneDrive

  • Create a new episode in Podhome when a recording is finished in Squadcast

Using Podhome with Zapier

To start automating with Zapier, follow these basic steps:

  • Go to https://zapier.com and log in or sign up

  • Create a new Zap

  • For the Trigger, search for Podhome, and select the trigger to start your automation

  • Zapier will ask you to connect with Podhome. You do this by pasting the API Key from Podhome into the Zapier field

    • Each show in Podhome has a unique API Key

    • You can find the API Key for your show in show settings, in the “Integration settings“ section

  • Once connected, you’ll see the latest data for the selected trigger. You need at least one episode in your Podhome show to see this data

  • From there, you can add steps to your Zap to automate your workflow. Like one to create a share update on LinkedIn

We can’t wait to see what you automate!
