How to Connect SociaVault with Zapier: No-Code Integration

Zapier connects 5,000+ apps together without code. Combined with SociaVault, you can automatically collect social media data and send it anywhere.

No programming required. SociaVault's social media scraper handles the data extraction while Zapier handles the automation.

What You Can Build

With SociaVault + Zapier, you can:

• Save TikTok profile data to Google Sheets automatically
• Get Slack alerts when a competitor posts new content
• Enrich CRM leads with social media data
• Build influencer databases in Airtable
• Track brand mentions and send to your team

Prerequisites

• Zapier account (free tier works)
• SociaVault API key

Using SociaVault with Webhooks by Zapier

Since SociaVault is a REST API, we'll use Zapier's Webhooks action.

Step 1: Create a New Zap

1. Log into Zapier
2. Click Create Zap
3. Choose your trigger (what starts the automation)

Step 2: Add Webhooks by Zapier

1. Search for Webhooks by Zapier
2. Select Custom Request as the action
3. Configure:

Settings:

• Method: POST
• URL: https://api.sociavault.com/tiktok/profile
• Data Pass-Through: No
• Data:

{
  "username": "charlidamelio"
}

• Headers:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Step 3: Test and Continue

Click Test Action to verify it works. You'll see the TikTok profile data returned.

Or use Paths to handle success/error differently.

Rate Limits and Costs

• Each SociaVault call = 1 credit
• Zapier has task limits based on your plan
• For high-volume workflows, consider n8n instead

Cost Optimization Tips

1. Use Filters - Don't call API if data already exists
2. Batch Updates - Use Zapier's batch features where possible
3. Schedule Wisely - Daily updates vs real-time (save tasks)

Zapier Alternatives

For more complex workflows or higher volume:

• n8n - Self-hosted, unlimited workflows
• Make (formerly Integromat) - Visual workflow builder
• Custom Code - Direct API integration

Troubleshooting

"Request Failed" Error

• Check your API key is correct
• Verify the Authorization header format: Bearer YOUR_KEY
• Ensure Content-Type is application/json

Empty Response

• Verify the username exists on the platform
• Check for typos in the username
• Some profiles may be private

Rate Limit Errors

• Add delays between Zap runs
• Use Zapier's "Delay" action between API calls
