SetupConnect it in a few steps.
Set up with Zapier

Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Google Sheets as the trigger app and "New row added" as the event. Connect your account.

Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Website Screenshot API, and map your trigger data to the request.
- 3
Send it back. Add a second Google Sheets action for "Add row" and map the returned fields (like width) 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 Google Sheets module set to "New row added". Authenticate your account.
