Requirements
You need a Zapier account (free tier is available) and an Arca API key. Any workspace member can generate an API key regardless of their role.Get your API key
Open API Keys settings
In Arca, click your workspace in the top-left sidebar, select Settings, then go to the API Keys section.
Create a new key
Click Add new key. Enter a label (for example, “Zapier”), then select the scopes you want to grant. At minimum, enable write access for the resources you plan to use (Tasks, Comments, and so on). Optionally set an expiry date.
Connect Arca to Zapier
Open the Arca integration page
Go to zapier.com/apps/arca-1/integrations and click Connect Arca, or start building a new Zap and select Arca as one of the apps.
Authenticate with your API key
When Zapier prompts for credentials, select API Key as the authentication method and paste the key you copied from Arca settings. Zapier verifies the key before saving.

- Email → Arca task: When a starred or labeled email arrives in Gmail, create a task in Arca so nothing falls through the cracks.
- CRM deal → Arca task: When a deal moves to a new stage in HubSpot or Pipedrive, automatically create a follow-up task in Arca for your team.
- Support ticket → Arca task: When a new ticket is opened in Intercom or Zendesk, create a corresponding task in Arca to track the resolution.
- Sentry error → Arca task: When a new error or exception is captured in Sentry, automatically create a task in Arca so your team can track and prioritize the fix alongside other work.
