How To Set Up Your Design Pickle Zapier Integration

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

A Zapier account (free or paid)
Access to the platform you want to use as the trigger
Your Design Pickle API Token (details below)
The information you want included in your design request (title, description, links, files, etc.)

You must be an account admin to update these settings. If you are a member or manager, please contact the admin of your Design Pickle account.

In the Design Pickle Platform, head to Settings >Integrations
Click the Create button.
Type in the name of your new integration key, then click Create key.
You will see a success message pop up indicating that your new integration key has been created.
Copy your integration key by clicking the copy button.
Take note of your copied integration key, as you will use it later in the guide.

Now let's proceed to the steps!

Log in to Zapier
Click "Create Zap" in the top-left corner
You'll see two main steps:
- Trigger (where the request starts)
- Action (sending the request to Design Pickle)

This is where you choose the platform you already use.

In the Trigger section, search for the app you want to use
(Examples: forms, CRMs, task tools, databases, etc.)
Select the trigger event
- Examples: “New Form Submission,” "New Record,” "New Task," etc.
Connect your account when prompted
Follow Zapier's steps to:
- Choose the correct form, list, or project
- Test the trigger to make sure data comes through

✅ If the test works and you see sample data, you're ready to move on.

Now we'll send the information to Design Pickle to create your request.

This is the most important step. It tells Zapier what information goes where.

You'll map fields from your trigger into the Design Pickle request.

Fields To Map	Description
Item ID (Optional)	This is the unique identifier for the request in Zapier, which helps track it within your Zapier workflows.
Name (Required)	The name of your design request
Request Type ID (Required)	The ID that corresponds to the type of design you’re requesting. Request Type IDs can be looked up here: Request Types and File Formats
Sizes (Required)	Specify the size or dimensions (e.g., "800x1200px"). Fill it out in HxW(in, px, cm) format with comma separation for multiples
Directions (Required)	Detailed instructions for the designer (e.g., "Please design a t-shirt with a cat wearing sunglasses"). Each direction is broken down by each new line.
File types (Required)	Choose one or more file types (e.g., JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.). The mapped field should be formatted as a comma-separated string
Copy (Optional)	The text or copy you want on your design. Each copy direction is broken down by a new line.
Files (Optional)	Any reference images or files you want to attach to the request. Files must be publicly accessible.
Brand ID (Optional)	The Brand ID to use for this request. (See the "How To Get Your Brand ID" section below)

Zapier will show dropdowns with data from your trigger. Just match the fields logically.

💡 Tip: Be descriptive in your request details to reduce back-and-forth later.

If everything looks good, it's a success! 🎉
