How to use the Groq API in Zapier

An explainer on how to use the Groq API in your Zapier automation.

OpenAI and ChatGPT aren’t the only options for adding generative AI to your Zapier automation. Meta, Google, and Mistral have all developed their own AI models comparable in output quality to OpenAI.

GroqCloud is a platform that gives you access to these models with insanely fast response times. Better still, they are (currently) free to use with some pretty high limits.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  1. Create a zap to generate an inspirational quote every day.
  2. Use the GroqCloud playground to test your prompt.
  3. Access the Groq API with a webhook step to generate the quote.

We’re looking at a very simple use-case for this tutorial, but you could also use GroqCloud and Zapier for applications such as:

  • Employee onboarding: Create personalised welcome messages or daily tips for new employees during their first weeks.
  • Content generation: Automatically create social media posts, product descriptions, or email newsletter content on a schedule.
  • Meeting preparation: Create AI-generated briefing notes or agenda items before important meetings based on recent company activities or news.
  • Market trend analysis: Regularly generate AI-powered summaries of industry news and trends to keep your team informed.

Let’s get to it.
