Zapier, Make and n8n

#What works today

  • Call the REST API with the generic HTTP or webhook module of the tool. Use an API key in the header Authorization: Bearer <key>. Start with GET /me to check the connection.
  • Receive events with a webhook trigger: register the address of the trigger as a webhook endpoint (Set up a webhook).
  • Start an automation from the tool with the secret address of an inbound webhook.
  • Use the MCP server if the tool has an MCP client module: address https://api.smartchat.marketing/mcp, sign in with an API key.

#Tips

  • Use the level Read while you build the flow.
  • Calls that send messages need a unique Idempotency-Key. Most tools can make a UUID; use one per run, not one for all runs.
  • Handle the code rate_limited: wait for Retry-After.
  • A Postman collection and the OpenAPI file help to set up the calls.
