Zapier Free plan has no webhooks: trigger Sume jobs another way
Zapier lists webhooks under Pro, and Free gets 100 tasks a month. Without them, run Sume jobs in sync mode, poll, or use a Sume SDK script instead.
The limit
The Zapier pricing page lists webhooks as a Pro addition, and the Free plan has 100 tasks a month. A Zap that receives a Sume job.completed webhook therefore needs Pro. On Free you need another way to learn a job has finished.
Options on Free
Sync only suits short jobs such as one image. Most video takes longer than 30 seconds.
| Option | How | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Sync mode | Sume sync waits for the result | Max 30 seconds, via wait_timeout_seconds |
| Poll | Read /v1/jobs/:id/status in a later step | Honor next_poll_after_seconds |
| Script | Run the Sume TypeScript SDK waitForJob elsewhere | Needs a host for the code |
| Upgrade | Pro for webhooks | Paid plan |
Task budget
Free has 100 tasks. If a job spends two action steps, that is 50 jobs a month (100 divided by 2). Zapier's page says triggers, polling and built-ins like Filter and Formatter do not use tasks, and failed actions are not billed, so branching logic is free.
Steps
The SDK helpers are listed in the SDK docs.
- Submit the job with an
Idempotency-Keyand store the job id. - Poll status on a schedule slower than
next_poll_after_seconds. - Fetch
/v1/jobs/:id/resultonce the status is completed. - Never recreate a paid job after a timeout.
