How to integrate Heartbeat in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Heartbeat connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Heartbeat
When prompted, authorize access to Heartbeat in WEXTL once. Heartbeat credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Heartbeat account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Heartbeat yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Heartbeat to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How Heartbeat connects and integrates with WEXTL
Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever Heartbeat app is called in workflows. That allows your marketing automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that Heartbeat supports.
The following table illustrates what fields Heartbeat integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].
Video slide demonstrates how Heartbeat is connected in WEXTL builder [4].
| Field | Type | Help |
|---|---|---|
API KeyRequired | password | To generate an API key, visit Settings > API Keys and click the “Create API Key” button. |
Connect Heartbeat to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Heartbeat below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Heartbeat. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Heartbeat integration
Select Watch Events trigger from Heartbeat - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Heartbeat, workflow will start [7] from Watch Events node.
Search for Create a Comment, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Events and Create a Comment, so only important data pass from Watch Events to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Heartbeat automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Heartbeat on WEXTL has 17 modules for combining marketing automations. Explore Heartbeat documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Heartbeat in your workflows.
Heartbeat has 1 trigger, including "Watch Events". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.
Integration has 16 actions, including "Get a User", "List Channels", and "List Chat History", and more. Refer to our Heartbeat Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.
The Heartbeat integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by Heartbeat official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.
Absolutely. Where Heartbeat provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever Heartbeat or any other service sends event to webhook URL.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for Heartbeat inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with Heartbeat modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
