Kicking Off Runs from Zapier

Learn how to kick off Rainforest QA runs in Zapier

Overview

Kicking off test runs using Zapier is another no-code way to integrate Rainforest QA into your release process. By using Webhooks by Zapier you can define a trigger event that will automatically kick off a Rainforest QA run group.

Setup

In Zapier, you’ll set this up as a two-step action using Webhooks by Zapier.

The first step is defining the action that will trigger the Rainforest run. The second step is triggering the Rainforest run using the Rainforest API and corresponding run group command.

Below is an example of how we at Rainforest QA use Zapier to kick off runs when we make changes to our marketing site in Webflow.
