Reap's Zapier integration helps you connect Reap with the tools your team already uses. You can automatically send video links, uploaded files, form responses, spreadsheet rows, RSS items, and other content into Reap, then use Reap actions to create clips, captions, transcriptions, dubbing projects, reframes, and project lookups.

## What You Can Do With Reap and Zapier

With Reap on Zapier, you can build automated workflows such as:

* Create Reap clips when a new file is added to Google Drive or Dropbox.
* Create Reap clips from new YouTube playlist videos.
* Create Reap clips from new RSS feed items.
* Create Reap clips from new Airtable records, Google Sheets rows, or form responses.
* Add captions to a video URL automatically.
* Create transcriptions from new video links.
* Create dubbing projects from uploaded videos.
* Reframe uploaded videos for vertical or square formats.
* Look up a Reap project's status, details, or generated clips.

## Before You Start

You will need:

* A Reap account.
* A Reap API key.
* A Zapier account.
* At least one source app connected to Zapier, such as Google Drive, YouTube, Google Sheets, Airtable, Dropbox, RSS by Zapier, or Google Forms.

<Note>
  The Zapier integration requires a paid Reap plan with API access enabled. You can generate your Reap API key from the [Reap Dashboard](https://app.reap.video).

## Tips for Best Results

* Use direct video URLs when possible.
* Make sure files from cloud storage apps are accessible to Zapier and Reap.
* Keep your Reap API key private.
* Use clear Zap names, such as `Create Reap Clips from New Drive Videos`.
* Test each Zap before publishing.
* For multi-step workflows, use Get Project Status before sending completed outputs to another app.

## Troubleshooting

### Zapier says the Reap account needs to reconnect

Reconnect the account and paste a valid Reap API key. If the key was rotated or deleted, generate a new key in Reap and reconnect.

### The Zap test says the API key is invalid

Check that you copied the full Reap API key and did not include extra spaces. Reconnect the Reap account in Zapier after updating the key.

### Create Clips is not working with a file URL

Make sure the file URL is accessible. If the video is stored in Google Drive, Dropbox, or another file app, confirm that Zapier is passing a usable file link.

### A project is still processing

Use Get Project Status to check the project status. If it is not completed yet, wait and try again later.

### I do not see generated clips yet

Use Get Project Clips after the Reap project has completed. If the project is still processing, clips may not be available yet.
