How it works

A webhook and a Catch Hook

Zapier's own generic trigger does the receiving, so there is nothing to install or authenticate.

Catch Hook trigger

Zapier's built-in Webhooks by Zapier trigger receives the POST. No Livesov app to install, and no authentication step to configure.

Fix Engine updates

What flows through today: Fix Engine status summaries and individual fix hand-offs for brands with no Linear or Jira connected.

One hook per brand

The webhook URL is stored per brand, so each client can drive its own Zap with its own downstream actions.

Fires on the event

This is a push, not a poll — Zapier receives the POST as Livesov sends it, with no polling interval to wait out.

Setup

Four steps

Create a Zap with "Webhooks by Zapier"
Choose the Catch Hook trigger. Zapier gives you a unique URL.
Paste that URL into Livesov
Dashboard → Alerts → Webhook URL, for the brand you want to route.
Send a test
Trigger a Fix Engine notification so Zapier captures a sample payload and can map its fields.
Add your action
Point the second step at any of Zapier's 5,000+ apps. Done.

Recipes

What teams actually build

Every one of these is a Catch Hook plus a single downstream action.

Log every Fix Engine result to Sheets

Catch Hook → Google Sheets: append a row with the brand, the message, and a timestamp for an audit trail clients can see.

Push hand-offs into Notion

Catch Hook → Notion: create a database row per fix so content teams work from a board instead of a channel.

Open a HubSpot ticket

Catch Hook → HubSpot: raise a ticket assigned to the account owner whenever the Fix Engine reports something that needs a human.

Reformat before Slack

Catch Hook → Formatter → Slack, when you want richer formatting than the raw message and would rather not point Livesov at Slack directly.

What this is, precisely

Zapier’s generic Catch Hookreceiving Livesov’s outbound webhook — not a published Livesov app in the Zapier directory. Searching Zapier for "Livesov" will not find anything, and there is no API key step, because Livesov has no public API yet. The upside is that it works today. The cost is that you map fields out of the payload yourself instead of picking from named triggers.

Parsing the payload

The body is { "text": "…" }— one formatted message, the same shape Slack’s incoming webhooks accept. For most Zaps that is enough: pass text straight into a Sheets row, a Notion page, or a Slack message.

If you need structured values — a brand name, a URL, a fix type — add a Formatter by Zapierstep between the trigger and the action and split on the message’s line breaks. It is a workaround, and a real app with typed trigger fields would be better; that is the roadmap item.

When to use Zapier instead of a direct webhook

If Slack is your only destination, point Livesov at Slack’s incoming webhook directly — one fewer moving part and no task quota. Reach for Zapier when you need fan-out (one event, three destinations), transformation before delivery, or a destination Livesov has no direct path to.

Zapier FAQ

Is there a Livesov app in the Zapier directory?

No. Searching Zapier for "Livesov" will not find anything. The integration is Zapier's generic Catch Hook receiving Livesov's outbound webhook — which works today with no waiting, but does mean you build the field mapping yourself rather than picking from a list of pre-built triggers. A published Zapier app with named triggers and actions is on the roadmap.

What does the payload look like?

A JSON body with a single "text" field containing the formatted message. That shape is Slack-incoming-webhook compatible, which is why the same URL field works for Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n, or your own endpoint. Use a Zapier Formatter step if you need to parse specific values out of the text.

Which events fire it?

Fix Engine notifications: status summaries, and individual fix hand-offs for brands with no Linear or Jira tracker connected. Mention-rate drops, competitor moves, and scheduled reports are delivered by email today and do not currently reach the webhook.

Do I need an API key?

No, and there is no API key to get — Livesov has no public API yet. The Catch Hook URL is the only credential involved, and it is Zapier's, not ours. Treat it as a secret: anyone holding it can post into your Zap.

Can Zapier write back into Livesov?

Not yet. The flow is one-directional: Livesov → Zapier → wherever. Creating brands or prompts from an upstream event needs the public API, which is not shipped.

What does it cost?

Nothing on the Livesov side — the webhook field is on every plan including the trial. Zapier bills you for task runs; a Catch Hook plus one action fits comfortably in Zapier's free tier for most teams.
