SetupConnect it in a few steps.
Set up with Zapier
- 1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Airtable as the trigger app and "New record" as the event. Connect your account.
- 2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Moon Phases API, and map your trigger data to the request.
- 3
Send it back. Add a second Airtable action for "Create record" and map the returned fields (like phase) into it.
- 4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.
Set up with Make
- 1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Airtable module set to "New record". Authenticate your account.
- 2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/moonphases with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
- 3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Airtable module for "Create record". Map fields like data.phase into place.
- 4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
Set up with n8n
- 1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Airtable trigger node for "New record" and connect your credentials.
- 2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/moonphases using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
- 3
Map with expressions. Add a Airtable node for "Create record" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.phase }}.
- 4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
