Overview

What the AgencyAccess Zapier integration does for an agency

AgencyAccess lets marketing agencies ask clients for access to their Google and Meta accounts through one simple authorization portal. Linked to Zapier, each step of that onboarding can start a Zap (the automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions) in the tools your team already uses.

Three results agencies typically build. A green light for the media buyer: when a client has granted every requested access, Access Granted posts in the account team's channel and campaign setup can start without anyone chasing the client. A client file in the CRM: Client Created opens the record as soon as the account manager adds the client in the dashboard, so sales and delivery work from the same list. A brief ready for the kickoff: Intake Form Completed copies the answers into a shared document folder or sheet, and the strategist reads them before the first call.

Now the limit. On Zapier, AgencyAccess only reports; it takes no orders. There is no action to create a client, send an invite or revoke access from Zapier, and no search to look up an existing client. Every Zap here starts in AgencyAccess and ends in another app. If you hoped to fire off invites automatically from your CRM, that is not something the app exposes today.

Choosing between platforms? The Make vs Zapier comparison puts the two tools side by side, which helps when three triggers and no action are all you have to work with.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words do most of the work on this page.

Zap
A workflow you set up on Zapier: an onboarding event at the start, then the steps it should set off in your other tools, every time it happens.
Trigger
The event that starts a Zap, such as Client Created in AgencyAccess. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it to happen.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: write, send or move something in another app, without anyone touching a keyboard.
Task
Zapier's billing unit: one action that completes successfully. Your plan's monthly allowance is counted in tasks.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant trigger is pushed by the app as soon as the event happens. All three AgencyAccess triggers are instant.
Filter
A gate you add between steps: a client who does not match your rule stops the run, so only the right onboardings reach the next tool.
Connection
Your AgencyAccess account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap you build, with no extra sign-in.
Cost

What an AgencyAccess Zap costs

AgencyAccess is not a premium app, so it is available on the free plan.

  • Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
  • Free plan steps1 trigger + 1 action
  • Premium appNo
  • Triggers3, all instant, the grid below does not apply

None of the three triggers costs a task, and Zapier waiting for them costs nothing. Only completed actions are billed: one granted access announced in one channel is one task; the same event also logged in a sheet is two. A failed action is not counted. The free plan covers 100 tasks a month with two-step Zaps only. A filter or a second action turns the Zap into a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan.

Connect

Connect AgencyAccess to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. In the dialog, search for AgencyAccess and select it from the list of results that appears.

  2. 02

    Sign in to AgencyAccess

    Click Add connection. AgencyAccess opens in a new tab: sign in with the agency account where clients and invites are managed, since the Zap only sees that account.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Approve Zapier's access in that tab. The connection is stored in your Apps list, and every future Zap built on AgencyAccess can select it without asking you to log in again.

First Zap

Your first Zap: turn each intake form into a kickoff brief

GoalWhen a client completes the AgencyAccess intake form, the answers land in a Google Sheets row and the strategist gets an email to prepare the kickoff.

  1. 01

    Set the trigger

    Create a Zap, pick AgencyAccess as the starting app and Intake Form Completed as the event, then select the connection you just added.

  2. 02

    Test with a real form

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items from the connected account, so you map the next steps on real answers instead of a blank sample.

  3. 03

    Log the answers

    Add Google Sheets as the first action and map the form answers into the columns. On the free plan, the Zap ends here: one trigger, one action.

  4. 04

    Brief the strategist

    On a paid plan, add the Gmail step after the sheet, addressed to whoever runs the kickoff. Two actions already make this a multi-step Zap.

  5. 05

    Test and publish

    Run each step once and read what came back. Then click Publish: every intake form completed from now on starts the Zap.

Triggers

AgencyAccess triggers on Zapier

3 events start a Zap when something happens in AgencyAccess, and 3 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Access Granted

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a client has finished granting access to all of the requested services attached to an invite.”

Fires once a client has finished approving every service requested in an invite, not after each one. It marks the point where the agency can actually log in and start working on the client's accounts.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
the media buyer waits for both ad accounts before building campaigns and wants a ping as soon as everything is open.
Watch out
a client who approves only part of the invite does not start this Zap, so a stalled invite stays silent.
2

Client Created

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a client has been created in the dashboard.”

Runs as soon as someone on the agency side adds a new client in the AgencyAccess dashboard. It is the earliest event of the three, before any invite or form, which makes it the natural place to open a client record elsewhere.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
the sales team signs a new account and delivery needs a CRM record before the onboarding call.
Watch out
clients created before the Zap was published will never come through; bring them over separately.
3

Intake Form Completed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a client completes your intake form.”

Kicks off when a client submits the agency's intake form in AgencyAccess. Think of it as the moment the client's own answers become available, ready to be filed, shared with the team or turned into a brief.

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 strategist wants every completed questionnaire in one sheet before the kickoff meeting.
Watch out
the Zap writes nothing back into AgencyAccess, so follow-up on missing answers still happens there.
When it breaks

When the AgencyAccess Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to AgencyAccess. The cases below are the general ones, and each can affect an onboarding Zap.

They tend to show up once real clients go through the flow. For anything else, the Zapier troubleshooting guide shows how to read a failed run and fix it.

  • Existing clients never appear

    A Zap only sees events after it is switched on. Clients, forms and approvals from before stay in AgencyAccess; moving that history is a separate job.
  • A bulk import is held back

    If a trigger suddenly sends a huge batch, after migrating a client list for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of starting the Zap for every client at once.
  • The Zap keeps setting itself off

    If a later step writes into the place a trigger watches, the Zap starts again and again and eats through the task count fast.
  • The filter blocks everything

    Filter rules are typed: a number rule on text never passes. The run stops at the filter, and the channel message never goes out.

FAQ

AgencyAccess Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the AgencyAccess Zapier integration free?
Yes, as long as each Zap stays at two steps. AgencyAccess is not a premium app, so the free plan accepts it, with 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps. The free plan's real constraint is shape: one trigger and one action. Access Granted followed by a single Slack message fits. Add a filter, a second action or a search and the Zap becomes multi-step, which requires a paid plan. You can run three separate two-step Zaps, one per trigger, on the free plan. No prices here; the grids change too often.
02How many tasks does an AgencyAccess onboarding use?
One per completed action, whichever trigger starts it. Triggers never cost a task, and Zapier waiting for events is free. If Client Created opens a CRM record, that is one task. If Intake Form Completed then fills a sheet, and Access Granted posts in a channel, a full onboarding uses three tasks across three Zaps. A failed action is not counted. Some apps bill more than one task per action, so check the destination before budgeting a month of new clients.
03Do AgencyAccess triggers work in real time?
Yes, all three. Access Granted, Client Created and Intake Form Completed are instant triggers: AgencyAccess notifies Zapier as soon as the event happens, and the Zap starts at once on any plan. On the free plan this matters, because polling triggers there are only checked every 15 minutes, and that delay does not apply here. An instant trigger shows a lightning bolt in the editor. The type is decided by the app and cannot be changed in Zapier.
04What do you need to connect AgencyAccess to Zapier?
An AgencyAccess account, ideally the agency account where clients and invites live, plus access to anything you do not own yourself. In Zapier, open Apps, click + Add connection, pick AgencyAccess, sign in on the tab that opens and grant access. The connection is reused by all your Zaps afterwards. Using a personal or trial login is the classic mistake: the Zap then sees none of the real clients and the trigger test comes back empty.
05Why does Access Granted not fire when a client approves one account?
Because it waits for the whole invite. Access Granted fires only when the client has finished granting access to every service requested in that invite. A client who approves the Google account but not the Meta one has not finished, so the Zap stays silent. If the team needs to know earlier, Client Created and Intake Form Completed are the other two signals available. Chasing a half-finished invite still happens in AgencyAccess itself.
06What if the AgencyAccess operation you need is not on Zapier?
Then it does not exist on Zapier today, and no setting will reveal it. AgencyAccess offers three triggers and nothing else: no action and no search. A Zap can react when a client is created, fills the intake form or grants access, but it cannot create a client, send an invite or check a status inside AgencyAccess. Those steps stay in the app. The list belongs to the app's publisher, so a look at its Zapier page from time to time is worthwhile.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for AgencyAccess?
Judge by criteria, not by brand. Availability first: this page covers Zapier, where AgencyAccess offers three instant triggers, so confirm the other tool lists the app before comparing. Workflow shape second: one event sent to one destination fits Zapier's free plan, and three such Zaps cover the whole onboarding. Volume third: Zapier bills each completed action, so an onboarding that feeds several tools per event costs more per client than a simple notification.
