Overview

What the Adact Zapier integration actually does

Adact lets marketers build games and interactive campaigns without writing code. Connected to Zapier, it becomes a source: each time a player turns into a lead, or wins something, Adact tells Zapier, and Zapier hands that event to the next app in your automation. It sends, it never takes anything back in.

Three results people usually build. A growing lead list: New Unique Lead Created drops each fresh contact from a quiz or a spin-the-wheel into a spreadsheet the sales team already reads. A prize desk that runs itself: New Assigned Prize Created pings whoever ships the goodies, so a winner from a retail promo is not forgotten over a weekend. A CRM that knows where a contact came from: the lead trigger feeds your CRM, with the campaign picked at setup telling you which game produced it.

What Zapier does not do for Adact matters as much. There is no action, so no Zap can create a campaign, edit a player or assign a prize inside Adact. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up an existing Adact lead. Anything that has to change in Adact still happens in Adact.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words come back on this page. Here they are in plain English, once.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier sits and waits for it to happen.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills you for: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan allowance is a count of those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger gets checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant one is reported by the app itself, the moment the event happens.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap carry on only when what arrived meets a condition you set, and stops the run otherwise.
Connection
Your Adact account, linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step and every Zap that needs Adact.
Cost

What an Adact Zap really costs

The trigger is free. A new lead or a new prize never costs a task on its own.

  • Trigger0 tasks
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Premium appNo

You pay in tasks for what happens next: each action that completes counts once, and a failed one is not counted. Adact is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan, which gives 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps, one trigger and one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap turns multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The polling grid below does not touch Adact, because both of its triggers are instant.

Connect

Connect your Adact account to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A dialog opens with a search box: type Adact and pick it from the list. You need an Adact account of your own before this step means anything.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Adact

    Click Add connection. A new tab opens on Adact's side, where you sign in with the account that owns the campaigns you want to watch. If a colleague owns them, ask for access first.

  3. 03

    Grant access and come back

    Allow Zapier to reach the account. The connection then shows up in your list, and every Zap that uses Adact reuses it, so you never sign in twice for the same account.

First Zap

Your first Zap: every new Adact lead in a spreadsheet

GoalEach unique lead from a quiz campaign lands as a row in Google Sheets.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap, pick Adact as the app that starts it and New Unique Lead Created as the event. Choose the Adact connection made in the previous section.

  2. 02

    Pick the campaign

    Select the quiz campaign in the campaign field. It is required, and it keeps leads from your other games out of this particular sheet.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of the account, so you map the next step on a real one rather than on a blank.

  4. 04

    Add the spreadsheet step

    Add Google Sheets as the action, pick the spreadsheet and the sheet, then map what the Adact test returned into the matching columns of that sheet.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run the action once and check the row it wrote. If it looks right, click Publish: the Zap is on, and the next lead goes straight in.

Triggers

The 2 Adact triggers

2 events start a Zap when something happens in Adact, and 2 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Assigned Prize Created

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a prize is assigned to the player.”

A player wins, Adact hands them a prize, and this trigger starts your Zap with that award. It is the hook for anything that has to follow a win: shipping, a voucher email, a note to the person running the promotion.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
a store runs an instant-win game and the warehouse needs to know who gets a gift card before end of day.
Watch out
you must pick one campaign in the required campaign field, so a prize in another campaign never reaches this Zap.
2

New Unique Lead Created

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new unique lead is created.”

Fires once per new unique lead that an Adact campaign collects, which is the moment a player becomes a contact you can follow up with. Most lead-capture Zaps built on Adact start here.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
an event organizer runs a trivia game at a booth and wants each new contact in the CRM before the visitor has left the stand.
Watch out
the campaign field is required and takes a single campaign, so two games mean two Zaps.
When it breaks

When an Adact Zap breaks

Zapier publishes no help article and no specific limit for Adact. What can go wrong comes from how every Zap behaves.

Four cases are worth knowing before the first campaign goes live. None of them shows up as a clear error, which is why they catch people out.

  • Leads from before the Zap are ignored

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Players who signed up last week stay in Adact; moving them is a separate import job.
  • A loop that eats your tasks

    If a Zap writes back into the place its own trigger watches, it sets itself off again and again and burns through your monthly tasks fast.
  • A sudden flood gets held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of running the Zap on every item.
  • Wrong campaign, silent Zap

    Each trigger watches one campaign. Launch a new game and forget to point a Zap at it, and nothing fails: nothing simply arrives.

FAQ

Adact and Zapier: common questions

01Is the Adact Zapier integration free?
Yes, on the free plan, with a limit worth knowing. Adact is not a premium app, so you can connect it without paying. The free plan allows 100 tasks a month and Zaps made of one trigger and one action. A lead trigger followed by one step in a mailing tool fits. Add a filter to keep only one segment of players, or a second action, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which requires a paid plan. Check that point before you design a flow with several branches.
02How many tasks does an Adact Zap use?
One per action that completes, and nothing for the trigger. When a contest brings in a new lead, Adact starting the Zap is free. If the Zap then adds that lead to a spreadsheet, that single row costs one task. A Zap with three actions costs three tasks per lead, as each successful action counts separately. An action that fails is not billed. So a busy campaign weekend is measured in completed actions, not in players who simply visited the game.
03Do Adact triggers work in real time?
Yes. Both Adact triggers are instant: Adact itself tells Zapier as soon as a lead is created or a prize is assigned, and the Zap starts right away. The polling interval of your plan, 15 minutes on the free one, does not apply here, because Zapier never has to go and check. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. For a free-plan user this is the best news on the page: no waiting on a timer.
04What does it take to connect Adact to Zapier?
An Adact account and at least one campaign in it. The connection itself goes through the Apps page of Zapier, where you click + Add connection, search for Adact, sign in on the tab that opens and grant access. Then each trigger asks you to choose a campaign, and that field is required. If the campaigns belong to a colleague, get access to them first, or the list will show nothing you can pick.
05Can one Adact Zap watch several campaigns?
No, each Adact trigger watches one campaign. The campaign field takes a single choice and it is required, so a brand running a quiz and a scratch card in parallel needs two Zaps, one per game. They can feed the same spreadsheet or the same CRM. Plan that when you launch a new campaign: an existing Zap will not pick it up on its own, and nothing warns you that leads are going nowhere.
06What if the Adact action you need does not exist?
Then Zapier cannot do it today, because the Adact integration has no action and no search at all. It only sends events out: new unique leads and assigned prizes. Creating a campaign, updating a player or giving a prize by hand stays inside Adact. For everything downstream, such as writing to a sheet, emailing a winner or tagging a contact, pick the action in the other app of the Zap, which is where the work happens anyway.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Adact?
It depends on the criterion, not on a ranking. On Zapier, the Adact integration is ready to use, with 2 instant triggers and nothing to set beyond signing in and picking a campaign. That suits a marketing team that wants leads flowing today without technical help. If the deciding factor is cost per run at high volume, or hosting the automation yourself, the comparison pages for each platform set those criteria side by side, and the answer depends on how many leads your campaigns bring in.
