Can a Zap only be initiated with a soft trigger ?

Could a Zap be added to the Export Selected Area menu to automate Export to Google Drive or Dropbox ?

Could a Zap auto export a Bookmark to a Google Drive ?

Hi Patrick -

The Zapier integration for now operates by sending and receiving HTTP Requests using Nx Cloud's private API.

Models users can use::
1. Nx Action (e.g. soft trigger) --> Zapier --> 3rd Party Service
2. Nx Action --> Zapier --> Other Nx System
3. Nx System --> Zapier --> Nx System
4. 3rd Party System --> Zapier --> Event in Nx System
As such Zapier leverages existing Events and Actions. It does not add any new Events or Actions to the Events & Rules engine.

So the answer to your questions is:

Can a Zap only be initiated with a soft trigger ?
- No - a Zap can be initiated with any Event combined with an HTTP Request to Zapier.
- HOWEVER - as the Cloud API is private you'll have to first create a Zapier zap to get the correct API call to Zapier, and then change the triggering Event.
Could a Zap be added to the Export Selected Area menu to automate Export to Google Drive or Dropbox ?
- No.
Could a Zap auto export a Bookmark to a Google Drive ?
- Exporting Bookmarks is one of the things we are working on, but not possible right now.
