Univid has a top rated native Zapier webinar integration, that allows you to easily use your own signup forms and zaps with Univid.

Overview Zapier x Univid: Available actions and triggers

Here are some available triggers and actions you can use to automate your webinars with Zapier and Univid. For example:

  • Sync registrants from your own forms to webinars in Univid

  • Get notified when on-demand attendees sign up

  • Get notified in Slack when someone asks a Q&A question

For example, registrering an attendee from a LinkedIn Ads form.

Getting started: Connect your Zapier account

Let's dive into how to get started integrating Univid to your Zapier account.

Check out the video guide where Jonathan walks you through how to set connect Zapier to Univid. Or follow the steps below πŸ‘‡

1. Navigate to your Zapier workspace.

Simply go to: https://zapier.com/app/assets/connections and press "+Add connection". Create an account if you don't have one already.

2. Find and select the Univid app.

To connect - search for "Univid" in the search field, or choose from the list if you have already favorited the app.

3. Select which Univid workspace to connect to.

Finalize by selecting the Univid workspace you want to connect to in the popup.


You're done! πŸŽ‰ Now Zapier and Univid are connected - and you can start automating with Zaps.

Test the integration: Register a user to a Univid webinar

To test the integration let's create a Zap where we register a new user to a webinar in Univid.

1. Navigate to your Zaps

Navigate to the overview of your Zaps: https://zapier.com/app/assets/zaps.

2. Create a new Zap.

Press the button "+ Create" and choose "New Zap".

3. Create an "action".

To try the connection between Zapier and Univid - and see that the connection is working. Create an action (or trigger).

Let's try to register a user to a webinar to see that things work.

4. Add an action event

We will add an "Action event" to our existing Zap that we created above.

Press "Action event" -> select the event: "Register User".

5. Fill out some test data

To test the integration out - let's input some test data to sign a mock attendee up. Fill out name and email (one that you have access to - as the confirmation email will be sent here from Univid).

Also, select the webinar in Univid from the list. If all is connected correctly you should see the available webinars here directly.

6. Test the step (or publish)

Now you can either test the step, or publish the Zap.

If it works correctly, you should find the registrered attendee in Univid - under "Statistics & Registration" > "Registrants".

And receive a confirmation email from Univid to the registered attendee if you have it turned on. ✨

Note: if you test with a email of an admin account in Univid, you will not receive any email. Test with another email address.

7. Optional: Add a trigger

An action is typically not very useful without a trigger. Try adding a trigger to make your Zap automate a task for you.

For example, a common trigger is adding webinar signups from a LinkedIn leads form.

Use webinar ID to register a user to a Univid webinar

If you prefer to use the webinar ID for your automations, instead of choosing from the dropdown of webinar titles from Univid, follow the 3 steps below.

1. In your Zap navigate to the webinar ID field.

2. Use the "Custom field" in Zapier to choose a Dynamic variable.

3. Choose your variable - this could be a previous variable in your workflow, or a code node that contains the webinar ID.

Q: Where can I find the Webinar ID for a webinar?

A: The webinar ID is a unique identifier of your webinar and is part of your webinar URL. You can find it manually in the URL of the specific webinar - where it says "/session/WEBINAR_ID", but it will also follow on alot of get requests that are used to list webinars, etc.

To see the webinar ID of a specific webinar.

  1. navigate to the webinar

  2. press "share" button in the top menu

  3. copy the webinar ID from the URL

More advanced workflows

For more advanced workflows beyond what the native Zapier app offers, you could also use the Univid Custom API. This will require using the App API key that you get from Team Univid.

To request the App API key you can also request access inside of the platform by navigating to your workspace: https://app.univid.io/ - under the "Integrations" tab you can press the get access button as shown above.

For inspiration of what you can do, read more details in the API docs here. Or check out below.

Advanced: Authenticating to Univid Custom API with Zapier

Note: the advanced setup requires Zapier Premium - as Webhooks by Zapier are used.

You can use the Univid Custom API directly with Zapier. Then you should use your App API key. Using "Webhooks by Zapier" you authenticate the request by adding your App API key in the section Headers - see below πŸ‘‡

Advanced: Requesting the Univid Custom API from Zapier

Note: the below setup requires Zapier Premium - as Webhooks by Zapier are used. However, if you are more technical - you can also write a custom HTTP request from Zapier to achieve the same things, which does not require Zapier Premium.

Using Webhooks by Zapier, you can send requests to Univid - for example to register users to webinars, or create new webinars.

1. Create your Zap and Action (using Webhooks by Zapier)

Create your Zap, or if you already have one - go ahead and add your event by choosing "Webhooks by Zapier".

2. Choose the right action type

Depending on the action you want to do, choose the appropriate Action event, for example if you are registering a user choose "POST". Check out the Univid API docs to find the endpoint you need.

3. Enter your specific details

Make sure to enter your specific details. In the example below, Organization ID and Webinar ID in the URL, and App API key:

You can decide how to trigger when these calls run. For example, by manually pressing a button in a Zapier table to register a user, or automatically when some other Zap runs.

For more API actions and details - you can check out the Univid Custom API documentation.
