In Zapier, choose Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook. Zapier generates a unique URL like the one above.

Zapier hook URL

Send test event

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
   Paste the URL into SimpleDock
   Open Settings → Integrations in SimpleDock, click Add Zapier, paste the hook URL, and pick the locations and event types you care about.
3. 3
   Send a test event
   Click Send test in the SimpleDock row. SimpleDock fires a sample webhook.test envelope so Zapier can capture it. Back in Zapier, click Test trigger — your sample is already there.
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 SimpleDock endpoint is Active — we auto-disable endpoints that return 4xx repeatedly.

• Zapier rate limits. Free Zaps poll/run every 15 minutes — but Catch Hook is real-time. You're fine.
• Selecting "off" event types. By default we send all 8 event types. 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.
