If you want to publish moments created with GeoBooster on your social media account, you need to set up an integration with Zapier. Let’s say you want to publish your moments to Twitter.
First of all, go to https://zapier.com/ and create an account (if you don’t have one). You will need a Premium account to work with webhooks and looping.
Create a new zap: click on “Create zap.”
Set the name of your zap, then type “Webhook” in the search input below the “App event” and click on the “Webhooks by Zapier” in the search results list.
Select “Catch Raw Hook” in the “Event” dropdown and click the “Continue” button.
Copy the “webhook URL”, then go to GeoBooster web-application, choose your business, proceed to the “Settings” page, paste the URL into the “Zapier webhook” field, and click the “Update” button.
Create a new moment in the GeoBooster for your business and approve it for publishing.
Go back to Zapier and click on the “Test trigger” button.
It may say something like “We couldn't find a request”, which is OK, because GeoBooster sends moments to the webhook every 10 minutes. Please wait for 10 minutes and click the “Test trigger” button again.
You should see the “We found a request!” message. Click the “Continue” button below.
You will see the “Action” form. Type in “Code” in the “App event” field and select “Code by Zapier” in the search results below.
Click in the “Event” field and select “Run Javascript” in the dropdown below.
Click on the “Setup action” button.
Type “body” into the “Input Data” field, click in the “Enter text or insert data…” field, and select “Raw Body” in the dropdown.
Copy the script below and paste it into the “Code” field:
output = JSON.parse(inputData.body).map((moment) => {
return {
description: moment.description,
formattedAddress: moment.from_office ? moment.business.name +' office': moment.formatted_address,
country: moment.country.name,
state: moment.administrative_area.name,
city: moment.city.name,
customerName: moment.customer || 'Anonymous customer',
employeeName: moment.employee?.name || moment.business.name,
mainImage: moment.images.length ? moment.images[0].full_url : 'no image',
secondImage: moment.images.length > 1 ? moment.images[1].full_url : 'no image',
categoryName: moment.category?.title || 'Uncategorized'
}
})
You will get something like this. Click the “Continue” button.
