# Connect Zapier

With Zapier you can create a Robopost post whenever something happens in another app: a new RSS item, a new row in a
spreadsheet, a new form entry. Zapier signs in to Robopost with an API key.

**You need:** a Zapier account and a Robopost API key (the first step below shows how to create one).

## Create an API key for Zapier

1. Click **Account → Team** in the sidebar ([open it](https://dash.robopost.app/team)), then **Manage API Keys**.
2. Click **New API Key**, give it a **Name** such as "Zapier" and click **Create API Key**.
3. Click **Copy Key** on the new key. Keep it private: anyone with the key can post as your team.

More about keys in [Authentication](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/api/authentication.md).

## Build a Zap that creates posts

The labels below are Zapier's and may change on their side.

1. In Zapier, create a Zap and set up its trigger, for example **RSS by Zapier** with your feed address. Run the
   trigger test to load a sample item.
2. Add an action, search for the **Robopost** app and choose the **Create Post** event.
3. When Zapier asks you to sign in to Robopost, paste the API key you copied and click **Continue**.
4. Configure the post: pick the destination channels and map the trigger's fields (title, link, image) into the post.
5. Test the action, or click **Skip test**.
6. Click **Publish** to turn the Zap on.

Each run of the Zap sends a post to Robopost, where it's published like any post you create yourself.

> **Tip:** To share an RSS feed, a blog or a store, a Robopost automation does it without Zapier and can write the
> caption with AI. See [Automations overview](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/automations/automations-overview.md).

## Disconnect Zapier

Turn the Zap off in Zapier, or delete its API key in **Manage API Keys**. Once the key is deleted, Zapier can no longer
create posts.
