Integrate Alpaca with Webhooks by Zapier to automate your work

To integrate Alpaca with Webhooks by Zapier, you need to set up a Zap that connects Alpaca as the trigger app and uses the webhook URL provided by Zapier as the action. This requires configuring the trigger in Alpaca to send data to the webhook when certain events occur, such as changes in your portfolio.

In your webhooks integration with Zapier, you can use triggers from Alpaca like 'New Order', 'Order Update', or 'Account Updated'. These triggers allow you to automate actions based on order fulfillment or account balance changes.

Yes, after setting up a trigger from Alpaca, you can create custom actions in any app that supports webhook inputs on Zapier. This flexibility allows you to tailor workflows specific to your needs such as updating records in a CRM or triggering notifications.

We support API key-based authentication for linking your Alpaca account with Zapier. You need to provide these keys during the setup of your Zap involving Alpaca services.

If a zap fails, check if the webhook URL is correct and receiving data from Alpaca properly. You should also verify whether all necessary permissions are granted for executing those API calls on both ends.

Testing your Zaps is crucial before fully deploying them. We allow you to send test data through our platform using sample events from Alpaca so you can ensure everything functions as expected.

Real-time updates are supported via websocket connections but remember that depending on network latency, there might be slight delays. Ensure your systems are prepared for handling inbound data streams effectively.
