If you regularly collect images—like project photos, product shots, or customer testimonials—and want them to show up in Paige without manually uploading every time, we’ve got great news: you can automate the entire process using our webhook integration! 🙌

This means you can set up an automation to send images from a platform like Google Drive straight into Paige, where they’ll be:

✅ Uploaded automatically
✅ Renamed for SEO
✅ Geotagged for local search
✅ Optimized with a great meta description

Let’s walk through how to set this up!


🧰 What You'll Need First

Before diving into Zapier or any automation platform, make sure you have these 3 things ready:

1. Your Business “Slug”

This is a short name that identifies your business in your unique Paige URLs.

To find it:

  • Go to your Paige dashboard.

  • Look at your Image Upload Link. It looks something like:
    https://uploadmyimages.com/abc-business

  • Your slug is the part at the end: abc-business

Write that down—you’ll need it in a moment.


2. The Webhook URL

This is the special address where your images will be sent.

Copy this URL:
https://localmarketingmanager.com/api/images/webhook

You can also find it in Paige any time by going to:
Automations → Upload Images → Webhook → Connect. It'll copy to your clipboard.


3. Your API Key

This is your secret password that tells Paige it’s really you sending the images.

To get your API key:

  • Go to Settings → Integrations in your Paige dashboard.

  • Look for your API key at the top of that tab and copy it somewhere safe.


🔁 Set Up the Automation in Zapier (Example)

Now that you’ve got your slug, webhook URL, and API key, you’re ready to create the automation.

We’ll show you how to do this using Zapier, a popular tool that connects different apps together.

Step-by-Step Zapier Setup

✅ Step 1: Set the Trigger

  • App: Google Drive

  • Trigger Event: “New File in Folder”

  • Choose the folder where you’ll be saving images that you want uploaded to Paige.

📝 You can use Dropbox, OneDrive, or any other file app Zapier supports—Google Drive is just our example.


🔁 Step 2: Add an Action (Webhook)

  • App: Webhooks by Zapier

  • Action Event: POST

Now configure the webhook like this:

Field

Value

URL

https://localmarketingmanager.com/api/images/webhook

Payload Type

JSON

Data

slug = abc-business
url = File (exists but not shown)

Headers

x-api-key = your-actual-api-key-here

🔐 Be sure to replace abc-business with your own slug and use your actual API key!

That’s it! Whenever a new image is added to your selected Google Drive folder, Zapier will send it straight to Paige.


🤖 Using Other Automation Tools (like Make or n8n)

You can use any automation platform that supports webhooks—not just Zapier! Tools like:

  • Make (formerly Integromat)

  • n8n

  • Pabbly

  • Integrately

All of these work great, as long as they support:

  • Sending a POST request

  • Custom headers (for your API key)

  • Sending JSON data

However, there’s one important difference to keep in mind:

⚠️ Most tools (unlike Zapier) don’t automatically convert the uploaded file into a downloadable file URL.


So, if you're using Make, n8n, or anything else, you’ll need to make sure the image URL you pass to Paige ends in an actual image file extension like .jpg, .jpeg, or .png.

This means instead of using something like {{File URL}}, you may need to find the direct download link or publicly accessible image link that ends in .jpg or .png in your automation.

If you’re not sure how to do that, check the documentation for your automation tool—or just ask our support team. We’re happy to help!


🎉 You’re Done!

Once set up, every time you add a new photo to your connected folder or tool, it’ll fly right into Paige and be ready for use—no manual uploading needed.
