Data Fields Available
When CloseTheCall sends data to Zapier, these fields are included:How to Disconnect

Do I need a paid Zapier account?
Do I need a paid Zapier account?
Zapier’s free plan includes 100 tasks per month and unlimited Zaps. That’s enough for most small businesses getting started. A “task” is one action execution — so if your Zap has 2 actions (Sheets + Slack), each trigger uses 2 tasks. If you process more than 100 tasks per month, you’ll need a paid plan (starting at $19.99/month for 750 tasks).
What is the webhook latency — how fast do events arrive?
What is the webhook latency — how fast do events arrive?
CloseTheCall sends webhook events within 2-3 seconds of the triggering action (call ending, lead created, etc.). Zapier processes the webhook and runs your actions within another 1-5 seconds. Total end-to-end latency is typically under 10 seconds. Zapier’s free plan checks for new webhooks instantly (webhooks are not subject to the 15-minute polling delay that applies to other Zapier triggers).
Can I filter which events trigger my Zap?
Can I filter which events trigger my Zap?
Yes. Use Zapier’s built-in Filter step between the trigger and action. For example, you can filter to only act on HOT leads by adding a filter: “temperature equals HOT”. You can also filter by service type, score threshold, or any other field in the webhook payload.
Is the webhook secure?
Is the webhook secure?
Yes. CloseTheCall signs every webhook with your secret key (shown when you connect the integration). You can verify the signature in Zapier using a Code step if needed, but for most use cases the webhook URL itself provides sufficient security since it is unique and unguessable. Never share your webhook URL publicly.
Can I use this with Make (formerly Integromat)?
Can I use this with Make (formerly Integromat)?
The webhook system works with any service that can receive webhooks, including Make, n8n, and Pipedream. The setup is similar — use a Catch Webhook trigger and paste the CloseTheCall webhook URL.
