Hi everyone, I'm exploring options to connect Backdrop with automation platforms like Zapier or Make using an API. The goal is to streamline some tasks by automating data transfers between Backdrop and other tools we use, such as CRM systems, marketing tools, or project management platforms.
My question is: Does anyone know if it's possible to integrate Backdrop directly with Zapier or Make through an API? If anyone has tried setting up a similar connection, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your experience or any resources that might help me understand the steps required. I'm particularly interested in any specific configurations, modules, or authorization processes needed to enable Backdrop to send and receive data with these automation platforms.
Any help, advice, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I did a little bit of digging. I'm not sure if this is the right track. I found an article describing how to connect Drupal 8+ webform with Zapier https://www.lullabot.com/articles/drupal-webforms-and-zapier-automation. But we need a version that can be ported to Backdrop webform. That's where https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_remote_post might help. It is probably a relatively easy port.
But if it's for other tasks, perhaps a custom module that is based on webform remote post to be triggered on other actions.
There is already a port:

I think it mostly works, but it is looking for a maintainer. I remember trying to get it working as a sign up form for MailChimp, but I think MailChimp is a bit too brittle. I confirmed with an online service that the posts were being sent, but in the end I couldn't get it working for MailChimp.
