Zapier hook URL

Add endpoint

1. 1
   Create a Zap with the Catch Hook trigger
   In Zapier, click Create Zap. For the trigger, pick Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook. Skip the optional "Pick off a child key" field. Zapier shows a unique https://hooks.zapier.com/... URL.
2. 2
   Add the URL in SimpleDock
   Leave the Zap editor open. In SimpleDock, open Settings → Integrations, click Add endpoint in the Zapier section, paste the hook URL, pick the locations and event types you care about, and click Add endpoint. SimpleDock sends a sample webhook.test event right away and saves the endpoint only if Zapier accepts it.
3. 3
   Pull the sample into Zapier
   Back in Zapier, click Test trigger. The sample SimpleDock just sent is already there. To send another, click Send test on the endpoint in SimpleDock.
4. 4
   Add an action
   Pick whatever Zap action you need: append a row in Sheets, add a record in Airtable, post to Discord, create a Notion page. Field names from the SimpleDock payload appear in the field picker automatically.
5. 5
   Turn the Zap on
   That's it. From this point on, every matching event in SimpleDock flows into Zapier within a few seconds.

Each delivery is a single JSON envelope with the event type, a stable event id, and a data object describing the appointment. Click between event types to see the payload.

Hit Send test in Settings → Integrations. SimpleDock shows the response code and time, and Zapier's task history shows the incoming request. If the test never reaches Zapier:

• Confirm the Zap is turned on. Off Zaps quietly drop requests.
• Re-paste the hook URL. Zapier sometimes regenerates URLs when a trigger is edited.
• Check the endpoint isn't Paused. SimpleDock pauses an endpoint after 10 failed deliveries in a row; resume it from More → Resume deliveries.

• Zapier rate limits. Free Zaps poll/run every 15 minutes — but Catch Hook is real-time. You're fine.
• Selecting "off" event types. A new endpoint starts with every event type except appointment.updated checked. If you only want bookings, narrow the event list to appointment.created.
• Multiple locations. Each endpoint can scope to specific locations. Add separate endpoints if you want separate Zaps per location.
