#api #zapier #developer #devdiscuss

If you’re building automations with Zapier, you know the real power comes from connecting the right APIs. Whether you’re streamlining branding, syncing data, or building custom workflows, these APIs can take your Zapier game to the next level. Here are five APIs every Zapier developer should know:

  1. Google Drive API Why it matters: Google Drive is the backbone of file management for many teams. With Zapier’s Google Drive integration, you can automate file uploads, sync assets, and trigger workflows when new files are added.

Use case: Auto-upload new brand assets, sync design files, or trigger notifications when a new logo is added to a shared folder.

  1. Slack API Why it matters: Slack is where teams communicate and collaborate. Zapier’s Slack integration lets you automate notifications, send alerts, and even trigger Zaps from Slack messages.

Use case: Notify your team when a campaign launches, or send reminders when brand assets are updated.

  1. Trello API Why it matters: Trello is a favorite for project and roadmap management. With Zapier, you can automate card creation, move tasks between lists, and keep your branding projects on track.

Use case: Create Trello cards for new branding requests, or move tasks automatically as assets are approved.

  1. Twitter/X API Why it matters: Social media automation is key for modern brands. Zapier’s Twitter/X integration lets you schedule posts, monitor mentions, and engage with your audience—all from your workflows.

Use case: Auto-post new blog articles, monitor for brand mentions, or reply to DMs with helpful info.

  1. Airtable API Why it matters: Airtable is a flexible database for tracking assets, campaigns, and more. Zapier’s Airtable integration makes it easy to log updates, sync data, and trigger actions based on changes.

Use case: Log every asset update, track campaign performance, or trigger follow-ups when a record is updated.
