Official app not listed yetWorks today: webhooks and HTTP requestsThere is no Clinch app in the Zapier directory yet. Everything on this page uses Zapier's own Webhooks by Zapier app with the public Clinch API and webhooks, which work today.
Three recipes
When a Typeform is submitted, send a contract
Typeform trigger → Webhooks by Zapier POST to /api/v1/documents with a template and the client's name and email from the form. The client gets the signing link by email.
When a contract is signed, create the project
Catch Hook on contract.signed → create a Trello card, Asana project or Notion page with the client name and signed date.
When an invoice is paid, update your books
Catch Hook on invoice.paid → add a row to Google Sheets or record the payment in QuickBooks or Xero.
Set it up
- In Clinch, open Settings → API and create a key (it starts with clk_).
- To send contracts: add the action Webhooks by Zapier → POST (or Custom Request), URL https://clinch.lumnika.com/api/v1/documents, header Authorization: Bearer <your key>, and a JSON body with title, template (or text) and signers.
- To react to events: add the trigger Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook, copy its URL and paste it in Clinch under Settings → Integrations, then pick the events.

}Questions
Is there an official Clinch app on Zapier?
Not in the Zapier directory yet. Webhooks by Zapier talks to the same public API, so every recipe here works without it.
Which plans do I need?
Webhooks by Zapier is a premium app on Zapier's side. On Clinch, sending contracts through the API works on the free plan (50 API calls every 30 days); event webhooks need Clinch Pro.
Can I collect a deposit from a Zap?
Yes. Add deposit_cents to the request body: the deposit is requested as soon as the client signs.
How do I know a webhook really comes from Clinch?
Each request carries an X-Clinch-Signature header (HMAC-SHA256 with your signing secret). Zapier can skip the check; your own server should verify it.
