Via API steps and webhooks No app to install: Kerux talks to Zapier's API with HTTP steps and webhooks, set up once.
Zapier in and out of your LinkedIn campaigns
A Zap can put new people into a Kerux campaign, and a Catch Hook Zap can act on every reply, accepted invitation or booked meeting.
How it works
A Zap catches a new contact
From a form, a CRM, a spreadsheet: any trigger.
Maria enters the campaign
With the fields your Zap sent.
Replies go back to Zapier
A Catch Hook Zap creates the deal in your CRM.
An example workflow
- A Zap triggers on a new form entry or CRM contact that has a LinkedIn profile URL.
- Webhooks by Zapier > POST sends the person to the campaign's trigger URL.
- Kerux runs the LinkedIn steps with its own limits and safe sending.
- When the lead replies with interest, Kerux sends
reply.positiveto a Catch Hook Zap. - That Zap creates the deal in your CRM and pings the owner.

Set it up
- In Kerux, open the campaign, click + Connect on the Automations half of the first card, choose Incoming webhook (API) and Copy link.
- In Kerux, open Integrations > Connections and click Connect on Custom API (under Developers). Pick how Zapier signs in, paste the key and Zapier's Base URL, click Save, then Test connection.
- In Zapier, add the action Webhooks by Zapier > POST: the URL from Kerux, payload type JSON, and data
linkedin_url(required),first_name,last_name,email,company. - For events, start a Zap with Webhooks by Zapier > Catch Hook, copy its URL into Kerux under Integrations > Developers > Webhooks, pick the events and click Send test event.
- In the campaign's Builder, click Test to open Test on one lead: the lead's journey shows what Kerux sent to Zapier and what came back.
Plan limits: Webhooks by Zapier is a premium app, so these Zaps need a paid Zapier plan. Make's HTTP and Webhooks apps, or a self-hosted n8n, do the same.
Questions
Is Kerux in Zapier's app directory?
Not yet. Zapier's own Webhooks by Zapier app connects to Kerux today: POST to send leads, Catch Hook to receive events.
Can Zapier answer a lead in the middle of a campaign?
Yes. A Call & wait step sends the Zap a callback_url; a Webhooks by Zapier POST to that URL resumes exactly that lead with your data.
What happens if Zapier is down or refuses a call?
The lead stops with Zapier's own error message and shows in Need attention with a Retry button. It never shows as finished because a call failed, and nothing else goes out to that lead until you decide.
