Klap + Zapier: clip and post videos on autopilot
The Klap app for Zapier turns long videos into short clips and posts them for you. A Zap can send every new video to Klap, then export the best clips to MP4, write their captions and schedule them to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, without code.

Start a Zap when clips are ready, then export, caption and schedule them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Klap integrate with Zapier?
Yes. Klap's Zapier app has 3 triggers (New Project Ready, New Clip, Project Failed), 4 actions (Create Clips, Export Clip, Schedule Clip, Write Caption) and 2 searches (Find Project, Find Clips). It is in Zapier's publishing review and is listed in Zapier's app directory once approved.
How do I connect my Klap account to Zapier?
Add a Klap step to a Zap and click Sign in. Zapier opens Klap, you sign in and click Allow, and the connection is saved in Zapier. There is no API key to copy.
Can Zapier wait for the clips to be ready?
Create Clips returns right away, because clipping takes several minutes. Use a second Zap that starts with New Clip or New Project Ready to act on the clips once they exist. Zapier checks Klap every few minutes, how often depending on your Zapier plan.
Can I post only the best clips?
Yes. The New Clip trigger has two options: Minimum Virality Score, to skip clips under a score, and Only the Best N Clips per Project, to keep the top clips of each video.
Which social networks can Zapier post to through Klap?
Schedule Clip posts to the TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook accounts you connected in Klap's calendar, now or at a set time. TikTok posts need a privacy setting, which Klap never picks for you.
How much does the Zapier integration cost?
Connecting is free. What you do through the integration uses your Klap plan, exactly as on klap.app: clipping uses your video allowance, exports your export allowance, and scheduling needs a plan that includes it. You can start with Klap's free trial. Each action a Zap runs also counts as a task on your Zapier plan.
