Coda & Zapier - API request to share a link

[Ross_Laurence]

Hey everyone

Im trying to create a zap that would allow me to share a link to document i am creating from a templet.

Im not too familiar with the API request function in zapier especially for coda so any input would be greatly appreciated

cheers!

Hi @Ross_Laurence! If the ask here is how to generate an API token for your Coda account, head to your Account Settings, then API Settings. Here you can generate a token:

Hope that helps!

This might be easier to handle with Just Coda (skip the Zapier!)

Can you give more context with what you’re trying to do?

Hey Scott

thanks for the reply. I have a onboarding workflow thats automated thru zapier and one of the steps is to create a new document from a template. Ideally id like to be able to generate a link for that new document once its been created. From what i see their is no option built into zapier for this so i’m wondering how to go bout it thru a API call. I have limited knowledge on GET functions but i’m assuming this is possible? let me know thoughts or if i can provide you with more information

thanks jamie , i have successfully already created and linked the API thru zapier. But im trying to generate a shareable link for a new document i have created from a template with coda. I think i would need to use a JSON request for GET somehow but all that is a little over my head
