Zapier integration
Connect EpisodeOps to 5,000+ apps via custom workflows.
Short answer. Use EpisodeOps as a trigger or action in Zapier workflows. Episode published → fire a Slack message, update Airtable, post to LinkedIn, or any of 5,000+ apps.
Zapier handles every integration that isn't built natively into EpisodeOps. Triggers: new episode created, release pack approved, episode published. Actions: create episode, update metadata, generate clips. The Zapier integration is the universal escape hatch — if a tool isn't supported directly, Zapier is the bridge.
Most production teams use Zapier for the long tail of small workflows: post a Slack message when a release pack moves to review, log the episode in a marketing CRM, trigger a Loom notification to the sponsor when their ad-read goes live. Each takes 5 minutes to set up in Zapier and saves hours per month.
How it works
1. Generate a Zapier API key
EpisodeOps Settings → Integrations → Zapier. Generate a key with the scopes you need (read, write, both).
2. Create a Zap
In Zapier, search for EpisodeOps; configure the trigger (e.g., 'New Episode Published') or action ('Create Episode'). Paste your API key.
3. Build the rest of the Zap
Add any of Zapier's 5,000+ apps as the next step. Slack, Notion, Airtable, Buffer, HubSpot, LinkedIn, Substack — anything Zapier supports.

Common questions
What's the difference between Zapier and Make for this?
Both work. Zapier has more pre-built integrations; Make is cheaper at scale with more complex multi-step automation. EpisodeOps supports both equally.
Are there rate limits?
EpisodeOps API supports ~120 requests/minute on Pro and higher tiers. For most Zapier use, you'll never hit it.
Can I trigger EpisodeOps from a Zap (not just trigger Zaps from EpisodeOps)?
Yes. Common pattern: form submission in Typeform → Zap creates a new EpisodeOps episode draft with the form data prefilled.
