To integrate GamiPress with Zapier, you generally have two paths: using the official GamiPress Zapier add-on (which primarily sends data out) or using a third-party automation tool like Uncanny Automator or AutomatorWP (which allows for two-way communication).
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
WordPress Version: 5.0 or higher.
GamiPress Core: Version 2.0.0 or higher (Free).
GamiPress Zapier Add-on: This is a premium add-on (typically starting at $49.00).
Zapier Account: A Zapier Premium account is required because the integration relies on Webhooks by Zapier, which is a premium Zapier feature.
The official add-on functions as a one-way trigger system (WordPress → Zapier). It uses webhooks to push data to Zapier immediately when an event occurs.
When these events occur in GamiPress, the add-on sends a JSON payload to your Zapier “Catch Hook” URL:
New Achievement: Sent when a user earns a specific achievement or badge.
New Step: Sent when a user completes a specific step within an achievement.
Points Awarded: Sent when a user receives points (e.g., “Credits” or “Gems”).
Points Deducted: Sent when points are removed or spent by a user.
New Rank: Sent when a user reaches a new rank level.
Rank Requirement: Sent when a user completes a specific requirement for a rank.
Each webhook typically includes the following data points for use in Zapier:
User Data: ID, Username, Email, and Display Name.
Event Data: Achievement/Rank ID, Title, and Type.
Points Data: Amount, Points Type, and current Balance.
Timestamp: The exact time the event was recorded.
The standard Zapier add-on cannot receive data (e.g., you can’t have a “New Tweet” trigger an “Award Points” action in GamiPress using only this add-on).
To perform actions in GamiPress based on external triggers, you need:
GamiPress REST API Extended Add-on: This opens endpoints that allow Zapier to “Post” data back to your site to award points, achievements, or ranks.
Alternative: Use Uncanny Automator (Pro), which includes a built-in Zapier integration that supports both triggers and actions without needing the REST API add-on.
Install: Upload and activate the GamiPress Zapier add-on on your WordPress site.
Zapier Setup: Create a new Zap and choose Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook. Copy the provided URL.
WordPress Settings: Navigate to GamiPress -> Settings -> Add-ons -> Zapier.
Link: Paste the Zapier Webhook URL into the corresponding event box (e.g., “Achievements Webhook URL”) and save.
Test: Use the “Send Test” button in the GamiPress settings to ensure Zapier receives the sample data payload.
