We are excited to introduce Pressable’s Zapier integration, a new automation layer that lets agencies and site owners connect Pressable hosting events and actions to the other tools they already run through Zapier.
Pressable’s Zapier integration connects your Pressable account to Zapier, enabling site creation, incident alerts, deploy monitoring, site transfer tracking, plugin management, and more, with Zaps that start from what’s happening on your hosting account or in the apps you already use.
Key Capabilities
- Site Provisioning: Create or clone sites automatically from other tools, like a CRM or a form. You choose Live, Staging, or Sandbox when you create a site, and clones default to staging unless you choose Live.
- Incident Alerts: Trigger a Zap when Pressable marks a site as hacked, so your team hears about it right away.
- Deploy Monitoring: Trigger a Zap on successful or failed Git deploys, and take action like clearing the object cache or alerting your team. A deploy cut off by a timeout or connection error doesn’t send a failure event.
- Backup Events: Trigger a Zap when an on-demand backup finishes. It also fires for backups Pressable takes on its own, so filter on Customer Requested to tell them apart.
- Site Restore Events: Trigger a Zap on a failed or successful site restore, for incident escalation or ticket resolution.
- Site Transfers: Trigger a Zap when a data transfer between two of your Pressable sites succeeds or fails. Migrations from other hosts don’t trigger these events.
- Domain & Launch Events: Trigger a Zap when a site’s primary domain is set, to start a go-live checklist or internal tracking. DNS and SSL may not be ready yet, and one change can send the event more than once.
- Change Logging: Trigger a Zap on PHP version changes or failed plugin updates, and log them for your records. The PHP event doesn’t include the previous version, and the plugin event reports failures only, so no event doesn’t mean an update succeeded.
- Performance Reports: Trigger a Zap when a performance report is ready, including the monthly report for each live site, so you can send it to a client or log it to a sheet.
- Cache Events: Trigger a Zap when a site’s edge cache is purged from the dashboard, the API, a Zap, or Pressable support.
- Site Actions: Find, create, clone, tag, and delete sites; add a domain and set the primary one; install and update plugins, up to 50 at a time; clear the object cache, purge the edge cache, and take an on-demand backup; create WordPress users; and turn maintenance mode on or off. Delete Site is permanent. A green step means Pressable accepted the request, and the work may still be running.
Setup
In MyPressable, go to Account > Integrations > Zapier and select Connect, or find Pressable in Zapier’s app directory at zapier.com/apps/pressable/integrations. Setup takes about five minutes. The Zapier page in MyPressable lists seven example Zaps to start from, or you can build your own with any of Pressable’s triggers and actions alongside Zapier’s app catalog. A free Zapier plan covers two-step Zaps with one trigger and one action. Filters and chained actions need a paid Zapier plan.
