Custom fields and webhooks with Zapier

MyVR allows webhooks with Zapier so data and information can be updated from one app to another. See the following Zapier article to learn more about webhooks in action, https://zapier.com/page/webhooks/. 

To pass data for a custom field from one app to MyVR, please see the following steps:

Step 1. Create a trigger event. This trigger event should contain the custom field information.

For example, if you trigger is an email and in the body of the email was a new door code, this information can be passed along used to update the custom field in MyVR. 

Step 2. Add second action step "Webhooks by Zapier" 

Complete the following fields:

Chooose App - "Webhooks by Zapier" 

Choose Action Event — "Custom Request"

Step 3. Move to "Customize custom request"

Method —  "Patch"

URL — Copy paste endpoint you need updated. For example, if updating a custom field on a property use https://api.myvr.com/v1/properties/{KEY}/

Data Pass-Through? — "No"

Data — 

{
 "customFields": {
 "name of custom field updating": from zapier dropdown use what from the trigger you are grabbing to update the custom field.
 }
}

 

 

Unflatten — "No"

Basic Auth — Copy and paste in API key (Found in MyVR under Set-up > "API & Data Access" > "API Access"). Add a "|" after the key in this field. 

Headers — "Content-Type" - "application/json" (see below).

 

Step 4. Now test the trigger event to confirm the custom field is updated in MyVR. Please note, most zaps only run every 15 minutes.
