Using the API to push a button (via Integromat)

Developers Central
1

I’ve been using Integromat to automate a bunch of stuff with Coda. I have run into a bit of a snag as this is the first time using the ‘make an API call’ module in Integromat, rather than the more standard modules like ‘create a row’, etc

So I’ve read the API documentation for pushing a button, but I don’t quite understand how to implement the request samples in the Integromat UI.

I’ve figured out how to get my DocID and all that stuff to get the correct URL to make the api call, but I’m stalling out on how to fill in the rest of the info in the ‘queries’ and ‘body’ section. On which parts I need to enter where.

Here is a screenshot of where I’m stuck at integromat and the coda API

Answering my own question in case anyone comes across this thread in the future. I emailed integromat support to get the answer

I just needed to add an empty JSON to the Body section. Just

{}

And now I can push buttons with Integromat :slight_smile:

HI Aaron, were you able to push a button in a page or in a database?

Originally could only only push buttons within a table, but now that you can use webhooks to trigger automations, you can use make/integromat to push a canvas button if you set up an automation to press it, and trigger the automation with a webhook
