Learn how to set up automatic image uploads to Paige using an API / webhook and an automation tool like Zapier, Make, or n8n. Step-by-step guide included for beginners!

If you regularly collect images—like project photos, product shots, or customer testimonials—and want them to show up in Paige without manually uploading every time, **we’ve got great news**: you can automate the entire process using our **webhook integration**! 🙌

This means you can set up an automation to send images from a platform like Google Drive straight into Paige, where they’ll be:

✅ Uploaded automatically
✅ Renamed for SEO
✅ Geotagged for local search
✅ Optimized with a great meta description

Let’s walk through how to set this up!

## 🧰 What You'll Need First

Before diving into Zapier or any automation platform, make sure you have these 3 things ready:

## 1\. Your Business “Slug”

This is a short name that identifies your business in your unique Paige URLs.

**To find it:**

- Go to your Paige dashboard.
- Look at your **Image Upload Link**. It looks something like:
    ​`https://uploadmyimages.com/abc-business`

- Your slug is the part at the end: `abc-business`

Write that down—you’ll need it in a moment.

## 2\. The Webhook URL

This is the special address where your images will be sent.

**Copy this URL:**
​`https://localmarketingmanager.com/api/images/webhook`

You can also find it in Paige any time by going to:
​**Automations → Upload Images → Webhook → Connect.** It'll copy to your clipboard.

* * *

## 3\. Your API Key

This is your secret password that tells Paige it’s really you sending the images.

**To get your API key:**

- Go to **Settings → Integrations** in your Paige dashboard.
- Look for your API key at the top of that tab and copy it somewhere safe.

## 🔁 Set Up the Automation in Zapier (Example)

Now that you’ve got your **slug**, **webhook URL**, and **API key**, you’re ready to create the automation.

We’ll show you how to do this using Zapier, a popular tool that connects different apps together.

## Step-by-Step Zapier Setup

## ✅ Step 1: Set the Trigger

- **App:** Google Drive
- **Trigger Event:** “New File in Folder”
- Choose the folder where you’ll be saving images that you want uploaded to Paige.

📝 You can use Dropbox, OneDrive, or any other file app Zapier supports—Google Drive is just our example.

## 🔁 Step 2: Add an Action (Webhook)

- **App:** Webhooks by Zapier
- **Action Event:** POST

Now configure the webhook like this:

Field

Value

**URL**

`https://localmarketingmanager.com/api/images/webhook`

**Payload Type**

`JSON`

**Data**

`slug = abc-business`
​`url = File (exists but not shown)`

**Headers**

`x-api-key = your-actual-api-key-here`

![](/api/storage/public-objects/intercom/9c818012a2474d9204a9ec97e5739d55.png)

![](/api/storage/public-objects/intercom/94776d776a7b11f626cf49d104a7416a.png)

🔐 Be sure to replace `abc-business` with **your own slug** and use **your actual API key**!

That’s it! Whenever a new image is added to your selected Google Drive folder, Zapier will send it straight to Paige.

## 🤖 Using Other Automation Tools (like Make or n8n)

You can use **any automation platform** that supports **webhooks**—not just Zapier! Tools like:

- Make (formerly Integromat)
- n8n
- Pabbly
- Integrately

All of these work great, as long as they support:

- Sending a **POST** request
- Custom **headers** (for your API key)
- Sending **JSON** data

However, **there’s one important difference to keep in mind**:

⚠️ Most tools (unlike Zapier) **don’t automatically convert the uploaded file into a downloadable file URL**.

So, if you're using Make, n8n, or anything else, you’ll need to make sure the image URL you pass to Paige ends in an actual **image file extension** like `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, or `.png`.

This means instead of using something like `#{{File URL}}`, you may need to find the **direct download link** or **publicly accessible image link** that ends in `.jpg` or `.png` in your automation.

If you’re not sure how to do that, check the documentation for your automation tool—or just ask our support team. We’re happy to help!

## 🎉 You’re Done!

Once set up, every time you add a new photo to your connected folder or tool, it’ll fly right into Paige and be ready for use—no manual uploading needed.
