Integration Guide
Prerequisites
- A Pictify account with an API key
- A Zapier account (free tier works)
- A template created in Pictify
Get Your Pictify API Key
Log into your Pictify dashboard and navigate to Settings → API Keys. Click "Create New Key" and copy it somewhere safe.
Keep your API key secret. Never expose it in client-side code.
Create a New Zap in Zapier
Go to zapier.com and click "Create Zap". Choose your trigger app (e.g., Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion) and set up the trigger event.
For testing, use "New Row in Google Sheets" as a simple trigger.
Add Webhooks by Zapier as Action
For the action step, search for "Webhooks by Zapier" and select "POST" as the action event.
Configure the Webhook Request
Set up the webhook with Pictify's render endpoint. Use your template ID and map variables from your trigger.
URL: https://api.pictify.io/v1/render
Headers:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json
Body (JSON):
{
"templateId": "your-template-id",
"variables": {
"title": "{{trigger_title}}",
"subtitle": "{{trigger_subtitle}}",
"image": "{{trigger_image_url}}"
},
"format": "png"
}Use Zapier's variable picker to map fields from your trigger to template variables.
Test Your Zap
Click "Test step" to send a test request. Pictify will return a URL to your generated image.
// Success Response
{
"success": true,
"imageUrl": "https://cdn.pictify.io/renders/abc123.png",
"renderTime": 1.2
}Use the Generated Image
Add another action step to use the image URL. You can save it to Google Drive, post to Slack, update a CMS, or send via email.
The imageUrl from step 5 is available as a variable in subsequent Zap steps.
