Make.com: Trigger Dust assistants from any scenario

In this article, we will guide you through how to use the Dust block in Zapier to automatically trigger your Dust Assistant from any other application.

1. Go to Make and create a new scenario

Create a new scenario on Make and choose what event should trigger your Dust Assistant.

A common example of a trigger for a Dust Assistant is: A new row inserted in a Google Spreadsheet

2. Add your Dust module action

• To do so, search for Dust among apps:

You will be asked to create a connection to Dust:

You will need your Workspace ID (which can be found in your Dust tab URL, right after dust.tt/w/), as well as your Dust API key, which can be found in *Build > Developer Tools > API Keys > Create an API Key*

• Once your connection is created, fill in all the necessary fields

• Assistant: Pick the assistant you want to talk to from the list. Only Company and Shared assistants will be available (you won't find Personal assistants)
• The message to send to the Assistant: this is the message to send to the assistant
• Timezone: this is the timezone in which you want to operate, you can choose from the list (eg: Europe/Paris or America/Los_Angeles)
• username: put the name to be displayed in the conversation. eg: Daily summary Zap
• email: This one is optional, put an email if needed.

5. Run and Publish your scenario

You’re all set!

Once launched, new content in the Google Sheet will automatically run your Assistant. To extract the output of the Assistant and send it to your next module, you must use the content part of the output
