Set up with Zapier

Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Slack as the trigger app and "New message" as the event. Connect your account.
- 2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Airports Lookup API, and map your trigger data to the request.
- 3
Send it back. Add a second Slack action for "Send message" and map the returned fields (like icao) into it.
- 4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.
Set up with Make
- 1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Slack module set to "New message". Authenticate your account.
- 2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/airports with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
- 3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Slack module for "Send message". Map fields like data.icao into place.
- 4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
Set up with n8n
