Zapier Integration

Connect SMSLeopard with 5,000+ apps through Zapier without writing code. Create powerful automation workflows that trigger SMS notifications from your favorite tools and platforms.

Use Case: Build custom SMS workflows connecting SMSLeopard with virtually any app - no coding required.

How It Works

Zapier acts as a bridge between SMSLeopard and thousands of apps:

  1. Trigger: An event happens in another app (new lead, form submission, etc.)
  2. Action: Zapier sends an SMS via SMSLeopard API
  3. Multi-step Zaps: Combine multiple actions for complex workflows

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • An active SMSLeopard account with API credentials (Get started here)
  • A Zapier account (Free or paid plan)
  • Access to the apps you want to connect

Setup Methods

Method 1: Using Webhooks by Zapier

Since SMSLeopard may not have a native Zapier app yet, use Webhooks:

Step 1: Create a New Zap

Log in to your Zapier account and click Create Zap. Choose your trigger app (e.g., Google Forms, Typeform, Gmail), configure the trigger event, and test the trigger to ensure it works.

Step 2: Add SMSLeopard Action

Click + to add an action, search for "Webhooks by Zapier", choose POST as the action event, and click Continue.

Method 2: Custom API Integration

For developers creating custom Zapier integrations:

// zapier-integration.js
// Custom Zapier CLI integration for SMSLeopard
 
const axios = require('axios');
 
// Send SMS action
const sendSMS = async (z, bundle) => {
const { apiKey, apiSecret, senderId } = bundle.authData;
const { phoneNumber, message } = bundle.inputData;
 
// Format phone number
const formattedPhone = phoneNumber.replace(/[\s\-\(\)]/g, '');
 
const response = await axios.post(
'https://api.smsleopard.com/v1/sms/send',
{
source: senderId,
destination: [formattedPhone],
message: message
},
{
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}:${apiSecret}`
}
}
);
 
return response.data;
};
 
// Authentication test
const testAuth = async (z, bundle) => {
const { apiKey, apiSecret } = bundle.authData;
 
try {
const response = await axios.get(
'https://api.smsleopard.com/v1/account/balance',
{
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}:${apiSecret}`
}
}
);
 
    return { success: true, balance: response.data.balance };
 
} catch (error) {
throw new Error('Invalid API credentials');
}
};
 
module.exports = {
version: require('./package.json').version,
platformVersion: require('zapier-platform-core').version,
