How to automate data entry without an API using Zapier

This Zapier data entry template is triggered by a webhook that passes data in a 2D array from our axiom.ai Zapier app. The bot then systematically processes the array, emulating human interactions by inputting data into web forms on any website. It serves as a valuable solution for automating data entry in situations where there is no API integration option.

Get started: Set up your Zap

In fact, we recommend not setting up your Zap first. Instead, prioritize creating and thoroughly testing your bot. Utilize the dummy data feature within our Zapier step, and set up your Zap only after your bot is fully functional. If you require assistance with the Zap setup, please refer to our Zapier documentation page.

Install the Zapier data entry bot

To install this Zapier data entry bot click Install template. If you’re a new user, you’ll have to click 'Install Chrome extension' and create a free axiom.ai account before you can edit the template.

Once installed, click Start.

axiom.ai will guide you through the steps you need to configure in the app.
