Getting started with Baserow Zaps

A Zap is an automated workflow connecting your apps. Each Zap has a trigger (what starts the workflow) and one or more actions (what happens automatically).

Authentication

Before connecting Baserow to Zapier, you need a database token for authentication.

Security note: Database tokens function like passwords. Keep them secure and never share them publicly. Store your token in a secure location immediately after creation.

Connect to Zapier

  1. Create or open a Zap in your Zapier account
  2. Search for Baserow and select it as your app
  3. Click Sign in or Connect a new account
  4. Enter your Baserow API URL:
    • Cloud version: https://api.baserow.io
    • Self-hosted: Your custom installation URL
  5. Paste your database token
  6. Click Continue to authenticate

Your Baserow account is now connected to Zapier and ready to use in workflows.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my Baserow API URL?

Your API URL depends on your Baserow installation. For cloud users at baserow.io, use https://api.baserow.io. Self-hosted users should use their custom installation URL. Find your complete API documentation in your Baserow account under Settings → API documentation.

Can I trigger a Zap when any field in a row changes?

Yes, use the Row Created or Updated trigger. This fires whenever any field in a row is modified, allowing you to sync changes across systems in real-time.

What’s the difference between Get Single Row and List Rows?

Get Single Row retrieves one specific row by ID, perfect when you know which record you need. List Rows returns multiple rows based on your criteria, useful for batch operations or filtering data.

How do I filter which rows trigger my Zap?

Use Zapier’s built-in filter functionality in your Zap workflow. Add a filter step after your Baserow trigger to specify conditions that rows must meet before continuing the workflow.

Can I use Zapier with Baserow webhooks?

Yes, you can use Zapier’s Webhook trigger to receive data from Baserow webhooks for more customized automation. Learn more about Baserow webhooks.
