What is Zapier?
Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects thousands of apps and services. It lets you build automated workflows (“Zaps”) without writing code, for example, “when X happens in one app, do Y in another.”
What is it for?
Zapier is used to automate repetitive tasks across tools your team already uses: sending notifications, creating tasks, updating spreadsheets, syncing data between systems, and triggering approval workflows. It is popular with finance, operations, and compliance teams that want automation without a development team.
How does the Xace + Zapier integration work?
First of all, you should select Connections — API & Webhooks. There, you can click on Accept Zapier Invite:
You will be redirected to a new tab to login into your Zapier account. After accepting, open New Zap → “Create Action” → search for Xace to start building your automations.
Technically, Xace connects to Zapier through two building blocks: API keys and Webhooks.

Webhooks
Webhooks send real-time notifications to an external URL whenever something important happens in Xace — for example, a payment is requested, approved, or declined. Instead of checking Xace manually or polling the API, your systems are notified instantly.
How a typical automation works
You provide a secure endpoint URL (or connect Zapier as the receiver).
When an event occurs in Xace, a JSON payload is sent to that endpoint.
Zapier processes the event and triggers the next step — such as sending an email, SMS, Slack message, or creating a task in another tool.
Supported webhook events include:
PaymentRequested, PaymentApproved, PaymentDeclined, TransactionCreated, TransactionConfirmed, TransactionReceived, PayeeCreated, PayeeEdited, RecurringPaymentCreated/Edited/Cancelled, CardCreated/Blocked/Unblocked/Cancelled, InvoiceUploaded, StatementDownloaded, DocumentCreated, FXTradeCreated, and OpenBankingConsentRevoked.
Example use case
When a new payee is created in Xace (PayeeCreated event), Zapier can automatically email the finance team and send an SMS alert to the CFO.
What you can build
Accounting automations (sync data to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, and more)
Real-time alerts for large payments, card blocks, or FX trades
Approval workflows in Jira, Trello, or Slack
Automated document filing to Google Drive, SharePoint, or Dropbox
Audit logs and compliance monitoring
CRM and support ticket creation (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk, and others)
No engineering effort is required — if you use Zapier, you can connect Xace to your existing tools in minutes.
