webhook_url
    The unique URL provided by Zapier for triggering a specific Zap. This is a required argument.

data
    Optional. The data to send to Zapier. If not provided, reads from standard input (STDIN). Data should be a JSON-formatted string.

The `zapier-push` command allows users to trigger Zapier Zaps from the command line by sending data to a pre-configured Zapier webhook. This enables automation workflows to be initiated based on events happening within a Linux environment. It's particularly useful for integrating shell scripts, cron jobs, and other system processes with web services and applications connected to Zapier. The command facilitates the seamless transfer of data, such as log entries, script outputs, or system metrics, to Zapier, where it can be used to perform actions like sending emails, updating databases, or posting to social media. It requires proper authentication and configuration with your Zapier account and Zap to ensure secure and reliable data transmission. You can push the content via STDIN or as file. Important Ensure you setup correct Zapier permission.

Properly setup Zapier permission to only allow you push request to zap.

Ensure the `webhook_url` is kept secure, as anyone with access to it can trigger your Zap. The data sent should be properly formatted JSON. Large payloads might encounter limitations imposed by Zapier.

The command typically returns an exit code indicating success or failure. Check the exit code for errors. Zapier's activity log can also provide details about failed Zap triggers.

Avoid hardcoding sensitive information directly into the command line or scripts. Consider using environment variables or configuration files to store the `webhook_url` and any sensitive data.

The `zapier-push` command was developed to bridge the gap between command-line environments and Zapier's automation platform. It aimed to provide a simple and direct way to integrate shell scripts and other Linux processes with Zapier workflows. Its usage has grown as more users seek to automate tasks based on events happening on their servers and systems.
