# Zapier

The You.com Zapier integration connects the Search, Content, and News APIs to more than 8,000 apps — no code required. Build automated workflows that pull real-time web data and route results to Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Gmail, or anywhere else you work.

***

## Getting Started

### Go to the You.com Zapier integration

Visit [zapier.com/apps/youcom/integrations](https://zapier.com/apps/youcom/integrations) and click **Connect You.com**.

### Authenticate with your API key

When prompted, enter your You.com API key. Get one at [you.com/platform](https://you.com/platform).

### Create a Zap

Choose a trigger (any Zapier-supported app or schedule) and add a You.com action step. Configure your query and map the results to your destination app.

## Example Workflows

### Research digest to Slack

Trigger on a daily schedule → run a You.com web search → format results → post to a Slack channel. Useful for morning briefings, competitive monitoring, or staying current on a fast-moving topic.

### Competitor pricing monitor

Trigger on a weekly schedule → use Content Extraction to fetch competitor pricing pages → send the Markdown output to an LLM step → post a summary to Notion or Google Docs.

### News alert to email

Trigger on a schedule → run a You.com News Search for your topic → filter results → send matching articles as a formatted email digest via Gmail.

### Form-to-research pipeline

Trigger when a new row appears in a Google Sheet → run a You.com search for each entry → append the top results back into the sheet. Useful for sales research, lead enrichment, or content sourcing.
