Subscriptions – Zapier

Resource URL

https://api.digitalchalk.com/api/zapier/subscription

Overview

The DigitalChalk application for Zapier uses the RestHooks standard where possible for subscribe / unsubscribe requests to Zapier triggers.  Subscriptions are made to DigitalChalk “event names” which map to Zapier trigger names.

Events

These are the events to which a Zapier user can subscribe (via creating the matching Zapier Trigger).  Each event has filters which can be applied and selected on the Zapier Trigger configuration page.  Click on the event name for a full description of the event and available filters.

• user_created – Called when a new user is created.  If the event is a match, calls Zapier trigger Create User (dc_user_created).
• offering_registered – Called when a student successfully registers to an offering.  If the event is a match, calls Zapier trigger Offering Registered (dc_offering_registered).
• offering_completed – Called when a student completes an offering.  If the event is a match, calls Zapier trigger Offering Completed (dc_offering_completed).
• element_completed – Called when a student completes one element of an offering.  If the event is a match, calls Zapier trigger Element Completed (dc_element_completed).
