Zip procurement orchestration — intake requests, approvals, vendors, purchase orders, invoices, and agreements
The Zip integration connects your agents to Zip, the AI procurement orchestration platform — search and update intake requests, track approvals, manage vendor records, and pull purchase orders, invoices, and agreements.
You need:
- Zip API Key — In the Zip application, click the gear icon → Company settings → API, then generate an API key. You can create restricted keys with read-only access if your agent only needs to extract data.
- Open Integrations from the sidebar
- Select Zip from the catalog
- Click Add Integration Config
- Give the config a display name (e.g., "Zip")
- Enter your Zip API key
- Save the config
- Open your agent in Agent Studio and select an Agent Step
- Under Attached Integration Configurations, click Attach configuration and choose your config
- Attach Zip tools from the tools panel
- Tools are referenced as
zip.search_requests, zip.get_vendor, etc.
