Set up with Zapier

    Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Telegram as the trigger app and "New message" as the event. Connect your account.
  2. 2
    Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the VAT Rates API, and map your trigger data to the request.
  3. 3
    Send it back. Add a second Telegram action for "Send message" and map the returned fields (like country) into it.
  4. 4
    Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.
Set up with Make
  1. 1
    Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Telegram module set to "New message". Authenticate your account.
  2. 2
    Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/vatrates with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
  3. 3
    Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Telegram module for "Send message". Map fields like data.country into place.
  4. 4
    Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
Set up with n8n
  1. 1
    Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Telegram trigger node for "New message" and connect your credentials.
  2. 2
    Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/vatrates using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
  3. 3
    Map with expressions. Add a Telegram node for "Send message" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.country }}.
  4. 4
    Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
