AI visibility in Zapier

Zapier can turn AI-visibility data into the alerts and rows your team already lives in — a Slack message when your domain drops out of Perplexity's citations, a Sheet row per weekly ChatGPT check. What Zapier cannot do is hold a slow request open: its actions time out around 30 seconds, and a live multi-surface fetch can legitimately take up to 180. So this page shows the wiring that actually works, not the one that demos well: AgentGEO fetches on a server-side schedule, and your Zap polls the fast read endpoint for finished runs. There is no AgentGEO app in the Zapier directory — the integration is Webhooks by Zapier against a stable JSON contract, and every step below is honest about that.

The division of labor: AgentGEO's schedules do the slow work (scraping six engines on an hourly, daily or weekly cadence), and Zapier does what it's best at — noticing something new and routing it to the 7,000 apps it speaks.

Step 1: Create a schedule on the AgentGEO side

Once, from the console's Schedules page or a single API call — this is the part that runs without Zapier:

One-time setup — a daily six-engine sweep
curl -X POST https://api.agentgeo.org/v1/schedules \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ag_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "daily brand sweep",
    "query": "best ai visibility tools",
    "surfaces": ["chatgpt", "perplexity", "gemini",
                 "google_ai_overview", "google_ai_mode", "copilot"],
    "cadence": "daily"
  }'

Step 2: The Zap — poll runs, route records

  1. Trigger — Schedule by Zapier. Every hour or every day, shortly after your AgentGEO cadence fires.
  2. Action — Webhooks by Zapier (GET). https://api.agentgeo.org/v1/runs?limit=10 with the Authorization: Bearer header. This is a fast read — well inside Zapier's timeout — returning run summaries: id, status, scheduleId, recordsDelivered, createdAt.
  3. Filter by Zapier. Keep runs whose scheduleId matches your schedule and whose createdAt is newer than the last poll window.
  4. Action — Webhooks by Zapier (GET). https://api.agentgeo.org/v1/runs/{id} for the full envelope — per-surface answerText and sources[] with title, URL and position.
  5. Deliver. Slack message, Google Sheets row, email digest — whatever your team reads.

Don't wire POST /v1/fetches directly into a Zap action. The API holds that request up to 180 seconds while live surfaces answer, and Zapier aborts around 30 — you'd pay for a delivered record whose response Zapier threw away. The poll pattern above exists precisely because of this mismatch. Note Webhooks by Zapier is a premium app on Zapier's side.

Zaps worth building

  • Citation drop-out alert. Filter the run's sources[] for your domain; when it's absent, post to the #marketing channel the same day.
  • Weekly share-of-voice sheet. Append one row per run per surface — date, engine, whether you and each competitor appeared. The share-of-voice use case shows what to compute from those rows.
  • Competitor mention notifier. When a competitor's domain shows up in a surface where it wasn't cited last week, notify the owner of that account.
  • CRM enrichment. On new runs mentioning a tracked prospect's category, log the answer snapshot to the deal record.

FAQ

Direct answers to the questions this page raises.

No. The integration is Webhooks by Zapier (a premium Zapier app) against AgentGEO's REST contract. That's a feature, not a gap: the two GET calls in the Zap are plain HTTP, nothing to install, and the same wiring survives a move to n8n or Make unchanged.

Because the fetch is genuinely slow — the API holds the request up to 180 seconds while six live surfaces answer, and Zapier's action timeout is about 30. The schedule-plus-poll pattern gets you the same records through fast reads that never brush the timeout.

GET /v1/runs returns summaries — id, query, surfaces, status, recordsDelivered, creditsCharged, scheduleId, timestamps — without the answers. GET /v1/runs/{id} returns the full envelope including per-surface answerText and structured sources[]. Both are quick reads; neither costs credits.

One credit per delivered record, zero for failed ones. A daily six-surface schedule is at most 6 credits a day and is billed by consumption under a spend cap. ag_test_ keys return labelled demo records at zero credits while you build the Zap; live ag_live_ keys are minted in the console and come with a plan.

Two ways in. Send a URL and a person runs the fetches for you, free — or connect your agent over MCP, on a plan, and run them yourself. Either way you get the raw answers and their citations, never a score.
