How to configure a webhook for Audio Scribe?

Webhooks are a powerful tool to automate your workflows, integrating various applications to streamline your tasks. Audio Scribe harnesses this capability, enabling you to create notes in Audio Scribe and then dispatch these to your preferred work applications—be it capturing meeting summaries into CRM systems like Salesforce or channeling notes into project management tools like Notion. In this guide, we will delve into two methods to configure a webhook for Audio Scribe: using Zapier and setting up a direct webhook integration.

Method 1: Utilizing Zapier for Integration

Zapier acts as a bridge, connecting over 3,000 apps without the need for coding. It enables you to create automated sequences, known as Zaps, which trigger actions in other apps based on events in Audio Scribe. Here's how you can set this up:

Step 1: Accept the Zapier Invite

To start, you'll need to accept an exclusive invitation for Audio Scribe users. Follow this invite link to Zapier: https://zapier.com/developer/public-invite/196894/fdb4dff41e342fa2dbdfffd05e63d43e/

This link grants you access to the pre-configured integration with Audio Scribe within Zapier's ecosystem.

Step 2: Create a Zap

Once you're in Zapier:

• Click on "Make a Zap".
• In the search bar, type and select "Dictanote" as the trigger app.
• Choose the specific trigger event from Audio Scribe, such as "New Note Created".
• Follow the prompts to sign in to your Audio Scribe account and authorize Zapier to access it.
• Next, select the action app where you want your notes to be sent (e.g., Notion, Salesforce).
• Choose the specific action within that app, like creating a new document or adding a new record.
• Map the fields from Audio Scribe to the corresponding fields in your chosen app, ensuring the data is transferred correctly.
• Test your Zap to make sure it works as expected.

Step 3: Activate Your Zap

After testing, give your Zap a name and turn it on. Now, every time the trigger event occurs in Audio Scribe, the action you configured will automatically happen in your chosen app.

Method 2: Direct Webhook Configuration

For those preferring a more hands-on approach or needing custom integrations not available through Zapier, Audio Scribe supports direct webhook integrations. This method involves sending HTTP POST requests to a specified URL whenever a new note is created or an event occurs.

Step 1: Consult the Webhook Documentation

Start by reviewing the webhook documentation available at https://dictanote.co/audioscribe/docs/. This documentation provides detailed information on the webhook format, expected responses, and security considerations.

Step 2: Provide Your Webhook URL

You'll need to create a webhook URL endpoint on your server that can receive HTTP POST requests. This endpoint should be capable of processing the data sent by Audio Scribe. Once your endpoint is ready, send your webhook URL to Audio Scribe's support team at support@dictanote.co.

Step 3: Test and Use Your Webhook

After your webhook URL is registered with Audio Scribe, test it by creating a new note. You should receive a POST request with the note data at your webhook URL. Now, you can process this data as needed, integrating it into your systems or workflows.

Conclusion

By configuring a webhook for Audio Scribe, you unlock the potential to automate your note-taking process and seamlessly integrate it with your existing apps and workflows. Whether you choose the ease of Zapier or the customizability of a direct webhook integration, you're steps away from a more efficient and connected digital workspace.
