Zapier Overview¶
This document provides an overview of the WhiteLabelCRO Zapier integration capabilities.
What is the Zapier Integration¶
The WhiteLabelCRO.com Zapier app connects your credit repair CRM to thousands of apps through Zapier's automation platform. Zapier is a consumer of the Integration API, using the same endpoints, authentication, and data formats as n8n, Make, and custom integrations.
For a hands-on introduction, see the Zapier Quickstart Guide to connect your account and build your first automation in under 10 minutes.

Architecture¶
REST Hooks¶
Zapier uses the REST Hooks pattern for real-time event delivery:
1. When user enables a Zap, Zapier subscribes via POST /api/v1/webhooks/subscriptions
2. WhiteLabelCRO pushes events to Zapier's webhook URL in real-time
3. When user disables Zap, Zapier unsubscribes via DELETE /api/v1/webhooks/subscriptions/{id}
Authentication¶
- API Key via
X-Api-Keyheader - Single authentication field during Zapier connection setup
- Keys generated from Settings > Setup > Third Party Settings
Getting Started¶
- Obtain API key from Settings > Setup > Third Party Settings in your CRM
- In Zapier, create a new Zap
- Search for "WhiteLabelCRO.com" app
- Enter your API key when prompted
- Select trigger or action and configure
Platform Compatibility¶
The same Integration API that powers Zapier also works with: - n8n - Open-source workflow automation - Make (Integromat) - Visual automation platform - Custom applications - Any HTTP client
All platforms use the same endpoints, authentication, and data formats.
Limitations¶
- Triggers use REST Hooks (real-time) not polling
- Rate limits apply (60 reads/min, 100 writes/min)
- Some fields may require mapping from Zapier's field picker
