New on Zapier, in beta
SnapRender for Zapier
SnapRender for Zapier lets a Zap capture any public web page as a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF file, read the page as Markdown, and start the moment a watched page changes. Connect it once with your SnapRender API key, then send the file to Google Drive, Slack, Gmail, Notion or any other app in your Zap.

Beta: Zapier lists new integrations in its app directory after a review. Until then, the invite link adds SnapRender to your Zapier account in one click, and it works like any other app in the Zap editor.

What SnapRender adds to your Zaps
Two instant triggers, four actions and two searches. The names below are the ones you pick in the Zap editor.
Triggers
Instant, from your scheduled captures
- New Page Change Detected
- Runs the moment a scheduled capture finds that a page changed more than the schedule's threshold. Gives the page URL, the changed area in percent, the capture time and a download link for the new screenshot. Pick one schedule or all of them.
- New Scheduled Capture
- Runs every time a scheduled capture finishes, changed or not, with the same fields. Optionally also when a capture fails, with the reason.
Actions
Each returns fields later steps can map
- Take Screenshot
- A page URL, your own HTML or Markdown to a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF file that later steps can upload, attach or post. Full page, dark mode, device presets, hidden elements, and ads and cookie banners removed by default.
- Extract Content
- The page as Markdown, plain text, HTML, the main article, its links or its metadata, ready for an AI step, a doc or a database.
- Create Signed Screenshot URL
- An expiring link that shows a fresh screenshot of a page when opened, for an email, a sheet or a chat message. Creating the link is free.
- Batch Screenshots
- Up to 50 pages in one job with the same settings. Returns a download link for each page when the job is done.
Searches
Look something up mid-Zap
- Find Batch
- Progress and download links of a batch job, for jobs that take longer than one Zap step.
- Find Usage
- Your plan, captures used and left this month, the reset date and daily counts.
Take Screenshot accepts the same options as the API: width 320 to 3,840 px, full page, iPhone, Pixel, iPad and MacBook presets, dark mode, a delay, a CSS selector to hide or click, and JPEG, WebP or PDF quality.
Zap recipes to start from

Good to know
How Zapier's limits and SnapRender's meet, so a Zap behaves the way you expect.
30 seconds per step
Zapier stops any step after 30 seconds. Take Screenshot gives the page 25 seconds and says so when it runs out; a shorter delay or a viewport capture fixes most slow pages.Batches that take longer
Batch Screenshots waits up to 18 seconds. Bigger jobs keep running: add Delay by Zapier (Delay For) and then Find Batch to collect the links.Download links expire
Trigger links work for 1 hour, batch links for 24 hours. Map them into a File field and Zapier copies the file when the step runs.Up to 5 trigger Zaps
Each trigger Zap creates its own SnapRender webhook and an account holds 5. Actions and searches have no such limit.The Zap stays on at the quota
When the month's captures run out, the run stops with a message that says so and the Zap stays on for the reset. Rate limits retry on their own.Clear errors
Failures read likeTARGET_UNREACHABLE: The target website could not be reached, so the Zap history tells you what to fix.

Questions
What is SnapRender for Zapier?
SnapRender for Zapier adds the SnapRender screenshot API to the Zap editor. Its actions turn a web page, HTML or Markdown into a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF file, read a page as Markdown, start batches of up to 50 pages and create signed screenshot links. Its two instant triggers start a Zap when a scheduled capture finishes or finds that a page changed.
Why is it marked beta?
The integration is new and Zapier lists it in its public app directory after a review. Until then it is invite-only: the invite link adds SnapRender to your Zapier account right away, and from there it works like any other app in the Zap editor. Zaps you build now keep running when the listing goes public.
Do I need a paid Zapier plan?
Not for two-step Zaps: a trigger and one action, such as a page change posted to Slack, run on Zapier's free plan. Zaps with three or more steps, such as a sheet row to a screenshot to Google Drive, need a paid Zapier plan. Zapier counts its tasks separately from SnapRender captures.
What does it cost on the SnapRender side?
The integration is included in every plan. Free $0 for 200, Starter $9 for 2,000, Growth $29 for 10,000, Business $79 for 50,000, Scale $199 for 200,000 captures a month. Each screenshot, extraction or batch page uses one capture; failed captures, searches and creating a signed link use none. When the month runs out, a run stops with a message that says so and the Zap stays on, ready for the reset.
How do the triggers know that a page changed?
They fire from SnapRender scheduled captures. Add a page in the dashboard, choose every hour, day or week and how big a change counts, and each capture is compared with the one before. The free plan holds 1 daily or weekly schedule. Each trigger Zap creates its own webhook, and an account holds 5, so one account runs up to 5 trigger Zaps at a time.
Can a Zap capture pages behind a login?
It captures public pages. If your own site shows a security check instead of the page, one firewall rule lets SnapRender through: see allow SnapRender on your site.
Where does my API key go?
Zapier stores it as your SnapRender connection, and the integration sends it only to app.snap-render.com. The connection shows your plan name so you can tell accounts apart. To revoke access, delete or rotate the key in your dashboard.
