Zapier and n8n: automate around reviews and publishes
Connect VersoDocs to thousands of apps. Triggers fire when proposals are opened or reviewed and when a version is published (every plan). Actions read the Current version, search, propose changes and comment, with the same plans and scopes as the REST API.
Plans
| Free | Team | Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zapier + n8n triggers (key review events) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Zapier + n8n triggers on every event | — | ✓ | ✓ |
Actions: reading the Current version works on every plan; search needs Team; comments and advisory reviews need Team; proposing changes with an API key needs Pro.
Connect
- In VersoDocs, an owner or admin creates an API key in Settings → Developer (scope
docs:read, plusproposals:reviewordocs:proposefor those actions). - Zapier: add the VersoDocs app, paste the key and your organization slug (the part after
/org/in VersoDocs URLs). - n8n: install the community node
n8n-nodes-versodocs(Settings → Community Nodes), create a VersoDocs API credential with the key, organization slug and base URL. - Pick a trigger. If the key can see several workspaces, choose the workspace to watch.
Triggers
| Event | Fires when | Plan |
|---|---|---|
version.published | A document is published as a new version. | All plans |
version.acknowledged | A member confirms they have read the current version of a document. | Team+ |
document.created | A new document is created in a workspace. | Team+ |
document.updated | A document is renamed or moved to another folder. | Team+ |
document.deleted | A document is permanently removed. | Team+ |
document.commented | Someone (a member, an agent or a share-link guest) comments on a published version of a document or replies in a thread. | Team+ |
proposal.opened | A reviewer is asked to review proposed changes to a document. | All plans |
proposal.updated | An open proposal’s title, description or content is revised through the API. | Team+ |
proposal.commented | Someone (or an agent) comments on a proposal or replies in a thread. | Team+ |
proposal.verdict_submitted | A reviewer approves a proposal, asks for changes, or leaves a comment. | All plans |
proposal.published | A proposal is published: its working copy becomes the new current version. | Team+ |
proposal.closed | A proposal is closed by its author without publishing. | Team+ |
review.requested | Someone asks an external reviewer bot (API key) to review a proposal. | Team+ |

Each delivery is { event, created_at, data } with the same data as workspace webhooks, signed with x-versodocs-signature-v2. Turning a Zap or workflow off removes its subscription; revoking the API key stops all of its subscriptions.

Subscription API
Zapier and n8n use these endpoints; any automation tool can too. API key, docs:read scope.
/api/v1/orgs/{org}/webhooksAll plansQuery parameters

|---|---|---|
target_url * | string | HTTPS URL that receives deliveries. |
events * | string[] | Event names. Free: proposal.opened, proposal.verdict_submitted, version.published. |

description | string | Label shown in Settings. |
Returns 201 { id, target_url, events, workspace, created_at, secret }. The secret (for signature checks) is shown only here. A Team event on Free answers 402 with locked_events.
