Overview

Kardow’s Zapier integration lets you automate your job board workflows by connecting to 7,000+ apps including Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, ClickUp, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and more. All Kardow triggers use instant webhooks — events fire the moment they happen, with no polling delay.

​
Getting Started

​
Step 1: Get Your API Key

  1. Go to your Kardow Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  3. Click Create API Key
  4. Copy the key — you’ll paste it into Zapier
Your API key is tied to your organization. Keep it private and never share it publicly.

​
Step 2: Connect Zapier to Kardow

  1. Go to zapier.com and log in (or create a free account)
  2. Click Create Zap (top-left)
  3. Search for Kardow in the trigger app search
  4. Select the trigger you want (e.g., “New Job”)
  5. When prompted, paste your API key from Step 1
  6. Zapier will test the connection — if you see a green checkmark, you’re connected
That’s it. No webhook URLs to copy. No event configuration. Zapier handles everything automatically.

​
Step 3: Set Up Your Action

  1. Choose the app you want to connect (e.g., Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets)
  2. Map the fields from the Kardow trigger to the action
  3. Test the Zap
  4. Turn it on

Troubleshooting

Make sure your Zap is turned on (toggle in top-right of the Zap editor).If it’s on but not firing, check that the event is actually happening on your board. For example, the “New Job” trigger only fires for new jobs — not for existing ones.
Your API key may be expired or invalid. Go to Settings → API Keys in your Kardow dashboard and create a new key.
When you test a trigger in Zapier, it only loads the 5 most recent items as samples. Once your Zap is live, it will catch every event in real-time.
Yes. Each job board has its own API key. Add a separate Kardow connection in Zapier for each board.
