Overview

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects apps and automates workflows. Connect your Pylar MCP tools to Zapier to access your data in automated workflows without writing code.

​
Prerequisites

  • ✅ Zapier account
  • ✅ Pylar project with published MCP tools
  • ✅ MCP HTTP Stream URL and Bearer Token from Pylar

​
Step 1: Get Your Pylar Credentials

  1. In Pylar, navigate to your project
  2. Click “Publish” in the right sidebar
  3. Copy both:
    • MCP HTTP Stream URL: https://mcp.publish.pylar.ai/mcp
    • Authorization Bearer Token: Your unique token

​
Step 2: Create a Webhook in Zapier

Since Zapier doesn’t have native MCP support, we’ll use HTTP requests:
  1. In Zapier, create a new Zap
  2. Choose “Webhooks by Zapier” as your trigger or action
  3. Select “Custom Request”

​
Step 3: Configure HTTP Request

Configure the HTTP request to call Pylar MCP tools: Method: POST URL: https://mcp.publish.pylar.ai/mcp/tools/call Headers: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE
Content-Type: application/json
Data (JSON): 
{
  "name": "fetch_engagement_scores_by_event_type",
  "arguments": {
    "event_type": "{{trigger_field}}"
  }
}
Replace YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE with your actual token and {{trigger_field}} with your Zapier field.

​
Step 4: Use Response Data

Use the response from Pylar in subsequent Zapier steps:
  1. Parse the JSON response
  2. Use data fields in other Zapier actions
  3. Build your automation workflow

​
Example Workflow

Trigger: New email in Gmail Action 1: Call Pylar tool to get customer data
  • Tool: fetch_customer_by_email
  • Argument: Email from trigger
Action 2: Use data in other apps
  • Send to Slack
  • Update CRM
  • Create task

​
