Brightspot Integrations Guide

Creating a general Zapier search


At times, you may want Zapier to query for specific data without performing an action. In these scenarios, you can create general Zapier searches. This function is is similar to the GraphQL search, but does not have a dependency on GraphQL. As such, you may find it simpler to use this option.

To create a general Zapier search:

  1. Click menu > Admin > Zapier.
  2. From the Create list, select General Zapier Search, then click New.
  3. In the Internal Name field, enter an internal name. Brightspot uses this name in selection fields.
  4. In the Description field, enter a description about what this general Zapier search achieves.
  5. In the Zapier Label field, enter a value that will appear when creating actions in Zapier. Brightspot recommends using something short but descriptive of the what the query achieves (for example, Verify Content Exists).
  6. Under Supported Types, select the content types that you want to expose to Zapier for the purposes of general searches.
  7. Click Publish.
