Auctria Zapier API & Webhooks

API and webhook documentation for connecting Auctria event activity to Zapier workflows.

The Auctria Zapier integration lets an authenticated Auctria organization connect event activity to Zapier. Zapier subscribes to Auctria webhook events, receives signed webhook deliveries through Svix, and uses the event payload to start automated workflows in other applications.

Integration summary

Zapier app type: Trigger-only webhook integration
Authentication: Custom auth with an application ID and integration key
Delivery provider: Svix signed webhooks
Primary use: Start Zaps when fundraising event records are created in Auctria

Authentication

The Zapier integration uses custom authentication. Auctria users load the required values from their Auctria organization automation settings and paste them into Zapier when connecting the Auctria app.

Zapier field	Type	Required	Description
`application_id`	string	Yes	The Svix application ID for the connected Auctria organization.
`integration_key`	password	Yes	The secret integration key Zapier uses to manage webhook subscriptions.

Each supported Auctria webhook event is available as a separate Zapier trigger. Supported events may expand over time; integrations should use the event type value in each payload to identify the event that was delivered.
