Zapier

Zapier's official Webhooks by Zapier action covers Thunderbit end-to-end. Two-step Zap: trigger fires, webhook posts to /distill.

Setup

Trigger — pick anything (new row in Google Sheets, new message in Slack, scheduled, …).

Action 1: Webhooks by Zapier → POST

• URL: https://openapi.thunderbit.com/openapi/v1/distill
• Payload Type: JSON
• Data:
  • url — map from trigger
  • renderMode — basic (or advanced for JS-heavy pages)
• Headers:
  • Authorization — Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  • Content-Type — application/json

Action 2 (optional) — pipe data.markdown into Notion / Airtable / Slack / OpenAI.

Async batch jobs

Zapier's webhook action waits up to 30s, which is fine for /distill but tight for /batch/distill. Two options:

Option A — Catch Hook callback

1. Add a Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook trigger in a separate Zap and copy its URL
2. In your batch-submitting Zap, include callback.url pointing at that hook
3. The catch-hook Zap fires when the batch finishes; iterate results with a Looping action

Option B — Schedule + Poll

If you can't run two Zaps, use a Schedule by Zapier trigger every 5 min and call GET /batch/{jobId} until status: COMPLETED.

Tips

• Store the API key in a Zapier Storage record so you don't paste it into multiple Zaps
• Use Filter by Zapier on the response to skip empty results before downstream steps
