Step-by-Step: Configuring Zapier for Github and Fuul Integration

1. Create a New Zap
2. Select the Github Trigger Event
   • Select the appropriate event from the list. This should correspond to the event you set up in Fuul, so let’s use ‘New Commit’
3. Connect Your Github Account
   • If you haven’t connected your Github account yet, you’ll be prompted to do so. Follow the instructions to authorize Zapier to access your Github repo.
4. Test Trigger
5. Add an Action for Fuul
   • After configuring the trigger, it’s time to set up the action. Search for “Webhooks by Zapier” in the action app field. This will allow you to send data to Fuul.
   • Choose “POST” as the action event.
   • Complete the action setup with the following data:
     • URL: https://api.fuul.xyz/api/v1/events
     • Payload Type: json
     • Data:
       • name

       • args__github_username
         • select Username in Zapier
     • Headers
       • content-type
         • application/json
       • authorization
         • Bearer “my-fuul-key” — trigger event API KEY created in the Fuul app
6. Test Your Zap
   • Test your zap.
   • Check if the event is in “Event logs” in the Fuul app.
7. Activate Your Zap
   • After successful testing, turn on your zap to start automating the rewards process.
