Prefer a Direct Integration? 

If you'd rather integrate directly with our API instead of using Zapier, our full API 2.0 documentation is available here: 

https://public-api.theambassadorplatform.com/docs 

This gives you complete flexibility to build a custom integration tailored to your systems.

FAQs 

Q: Why is this happening?
A: With our Chat 2.0 migration, we're consolidating on our modern API (version 2.0 and above). Legacy API versions are being retired, which means older integrations will no longer receive data. 

Q: Will I lose any historical data?
A: No. Your existing conversation data remains safe in TAP. This change only affects how new data flows to your connected apps going forward. 

Q: Can I keep my old Zaps running while I set up new ones?
A: You can build and test new Zaps before turning off the old ones, but the old integration will stop working once the legacy API is retired - so we recommend making the switch promptly. ETA that starting from Monday Dec 8 the API will stop working.  

Q: What if I can't find "The Ambassador Platform 2.0" in Zapier?
A: Make sure you're searching for the exact name. If you still can't find it, contact us and we'll help you get access. 

Q: Do I need a new API key?
A: Your existing API key should work with the 2.0 app. If you experience authentication issues, you can generate a new key from Settings → Integrations → API Access in your TAP Dashboard.
