+InfluxDB tasks let you execute Flux scripts on a schedule and automate operations such as
+downsampling, transforming, or even creating data.
+[Zapier](https://zapier.com/) is a workflow automation service that integrates with many
+ different applications and services.
+Learn how to use InfluxDB tasks to trigger a Zapier webhook and activate automated
+processes tied to the webhook.
+
+This guide walks through using InfluxDB and Zapier to send an alert to [Discord](https://discord.com/), a widely used messaging platform.
+
+## Create a Zapier webhook
+[Zapier webhooks](https://zapier.com/page/webhooks/) provide an API endpoint that you can send messages to and trigger other automated processes. Webhooks are a premium feature and require a [paid plan](https://zapier.com/pricing).
+
+To create a Zapier webhook:
+
+1. Log into the [Zapier Dashboard](https://zapier.com/app/login) and click **Create Zap**.
+2. Name your Zap.
+3. In the **Trigger** panel, select **Webhook** as an event trigger.
+4. Select **Catch Hook** from the list of  possible events.
+5. Navigate to the **Set Up Trigger** tab.
+   Here you can configure the Zap to only trigger on specific keys.
+   For this example, leave it blank and continue.
+6. The **Test Trigger** tab provides your webhook URL. Save this URL.
+   You can also test the webhook, but it is not necessary.

+## Create an InfluxDB check
+
+[Create an InfluxDB check](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/monitor-alert/checks/create) to query and alert on a metric you want to monitor.
+Use a default **threshold** check as the task. 
+_It is possible to use your own task written in Flux code, but for this guide, use the InfluxDB UI to create the check._
+
+Once the check is completed, [create a notification endpoint](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/monitor-alert/notification-endpoints/create/). Select **HTTP** as an endpoint.

+
+## Configure a Zapier action
+
+In the Zapier user interface, configure what you want to do when Zapier receives 
+new information from the webhook you just created. You can add multiple actions if you desire.
+For this example, send an alert to Discord.
+
+1. In the **App Event** panel, search for the **Discord** application.
+2. Select the event to trigger when new information reaches the webhook.
+   For this example, select **Send Channel Message to Discord**.
+3. Provide your Discord credentials. 
+4. Test the messages and publish your Zap
