Overview

What the Aunoa Zapier integration is for

Aunoa runs AI chatbots that handle customer conversations, and it can reach out first on WhatsApp with pre-written templates. On Zapier, that outbound side is the whole story: an event in some other tool fires the Zap, and Aunoa sends the template you picked to the right contact, with no one opening a dashboard.

Here is what teams typically get out of it. A booking confirmation: a new appointment lands in your calendar tool and Send Whatsapp Template pushes the confirmation message straight away. A follow-up after a form: someone fills in your contact form, and the template thanking them goes out on WhatsApp instead of sitting in an inbox. An order update: a status changes in your shop, and the customer gets the matching template.

The limits are just as clear. Aunoa offers no trigger on Zapier, so a reply, a new chat or a bot event in Aunoa cannot start anything. There is no search either: a Zap cannot look up a contact or a past conversation in Aunoa before sending. And the action only sends templates. A free-form message, an edit to a template or a change to the bot are all out of reach from Zapier.

If your stack leans elsewhere, the Aunoa Make integration covers the same app on Make, and the Make vs Zapier comparison puts the two platforms side by side.

Vocabulary

The Zapier words you will meet here

A handful of terms keep coming back. Each one, in a sentence.

Zap
An automation on Zapier: a starting event, then one or more steps that run automatically each time that event happens again.
Trigger
The event that starts a Zap. Aunoa has none, so with this app the trigger always comes from another tool you use.
Action
The step that does the work once the Zap has started. For Aunoa, the only action is sending a WhatsApp template.
Task
What Zapier bills you for: one action that went through. Your monthly allowance is counted in tasks, nothing else.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger gets checked at a set interval; an instant one is pushed by its app at once. It depends on your other app.
Filter
A step that stops the Zap unless the incoming data matches a rule you set, so the template only goes to the right people.
Connection
Your Aunoa account linked to Zapier one time, then picked again by every Zap step that sends through Aunoa.
Cost

How much an Aunoa Zap costs to run

Aunoa is open to every Zapier plan, the free one included. Each template that actually goes out is where the count moves.

  • Paid plan requiredNo, Free is enough for two steps
  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • One template sent1 task
  • Adding a filterMulti-step Zap, paid plan

Every successful send is one task. A send that fails is not counted, and the trigger from your other app is free no matter how often Zapier looks for new data. On the free plan you get 100 tasks a month and as many Zaps as you like, each with two steps only: a trigger plus this one action. Put a filter in between, to message only some contacts, and the Zap turns multi-step, which takes a paid plan. If the trigger in front polls, it checks every 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, and 1 on Team or Enterprise.

Connect

Link your Aunoa account in three steps

  1. 01

    Start from Apps

    Open Apps in your Zapier account and hit + Add connection. You only do this one time; every later Zap that sends through Aunoa reuses that same connection.

  2. 02

    Find Aunoa in the list

    In the dialog, search for Aunoa, select it and click Add connection. Zapier then opens a separate tab where Aunoa asks you to identify yourself with your usual login.

  3. 03

    Log in and approve

    Sign in with your Aunoa account in that tab and let Zapier access it. If the workspace belongs to someone else, ask for the rights needed to send from it first.

First Zap

Build a first Zap that sends a WhatsApp template

GoalWhen a new lead arrives in your spreadsheet, send them a welcome template on WhatsApp, but only if a phone number is present.

  1. 01

    Pick the starting event

    Create a Zap and choose the app that holds your leads as the trigger. Aunoa cannot start a Zap, so this first step always belongs to another tool.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the trigger test. Zapier pulls the three latest items from that account, so the mapping later on uses a real lead instead of an empty sample.

  3. 03

    Add a filter

    Click the plus icon, choose Filter, and set the rule on the phone field. This makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

  4. 04

    Set up the Aunoa action

    Add Aunoa, choose Send Whatsapp Template, select your connection, then pick the Template Name and map the contact data from the trigger.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Send one test and check that the message arrived as expected. Then click Publish: from now on, each lead that passes the filter costs one task.

Actions

The Aunoa action

Aunoa gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Send Whatsapp Template

Action

In Zapier“Sends Whatsapp templates to users”

Pushes one of your ready-made WhatsApp templates from Aunoa to a contact, at the exact moment the event in your other app happens. The customer gets a proper message without anyone on your team typing it.

When to use it
a booking, a signup or an order should be confirmed on WhatsApp automatically.
Watch out
Template Name is mandatory, so the template has to exist in Aunoa before the Zap can use it.
When it breaks

Where an Aunoa Zap tends to go wrong

Zapier attaches no help article to Aunoa and lists no rate limit for it. What follows are the general traps of any Zap, seen through this app.

When a template does not go out, the cause is usually upstream, in the trigger, or in the Zap design. For anything not covered here, the Zapier troubleshooting page lists the common fixes.

  • Past contacts get no message

    A Zap reacts only to events after it is published. Leads already in your spreadsheet will not receive the template; sending to that backlog is a separate project.
  • The template list is empty

    Send Whatsapp Template needs a Template Name. If no template exists in your Aunoa account yet, the field has nothing to offer and the action has no template to send.
  • A bulk import floods the Zap

    Import hundreds of rows at once and the trigger returns a huge batch. Zapier's flood protection can then hold that batch back before any template goes out.
  • A loop sends the same template

    If the Zap also writes back to the sheet its trigger watches, each write can start it again. Every loop burns a task and pings the same customer.

FAQ

Aunoa Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the Aunoa Zapier integration free to use?
Yes, as long as the Zap stays simple. Aunoa is available on every Zapier plan, including the free one, which offers 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps. The catch is that free Zaps have two steps: one trigger from another app and the Aunoa action. Adding a filter to target only certain contacts makes the Zap multi-step, and that requires a paid plan. Prices are left out on purpose, since Zapier changes its grid often.
02How many tasks does sending a WhatsApp template use?
One task per template that goes out successfully. The trigger in front of it costs nothing, and Zapier checking your other app for new data is free as well. If the send fails, it is not counted. A Zap that sends a template and then adds a row somewhere else uses two tasks per run, because every successful action is billed separately. Plan your monthly allowance from the number of messages you expect.
03Does the Aunoa integration work in real time?
That depends on the app in front of it. Aunoa has no trigger of its own on Zapier, so the speed comes from the trigger you choose in your other tool. An instant trigger fires as soon as its app reports the event. A polling trigger is checked every 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional and 1 on Team or Enterprise. The Aunoa action itself runs as soon as the Zap reaches it.
04What is needed to connect Aunoa to Zapier?
An Aunoa account and the right to send from it. Go to Apps in Zapier, click + Add connection, search for Aunoa, confirm with Add connection, then sign in to Aunoa in the new tab and approve access. If the workspace is not yours, you also need the rights its owner grants. Once linked, the connection is reused by every Zap that sends templates through Aunoa. On the Aunoa side, the only thing to prepare is the template the action will send.
05Why is there no template to choose in the Aunoa step?
Because none exists yet in the connected Aunoa account. Send Whatsapp Template requires a Template Name, and the field can only offer templates that are already set up on the Aunoa side. Create the template in Aunoa first, then come back to Zapier and refresh the step. Also check that the connection points to the right account: a template saved in another workspace will not show up here. A quick refresh usually settles it.
06What if the Aunoa operation you need is missing from Zapier?
Then a Zap cannot do it today. On Zapier, Aunoa exposes a single action, sending a WhatsApp template, with no trigger and no search. Reacting to a reply, reading a conversation or sending a free-form message are all outside what this integration offers. The workable path is to keep Zapier for outbound templates and handle the rest in Aunoa itself, or check what another automation platform exposes for this app.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Aunoa?
Pick by criterion rather than by reputation. Zapier gives you the template action on its free plan, which suits a quick two-step setup with no hosting. Make also lists Aunoa, which matters if your other scenarios already run there. n8n is the third option to check on the same terms. Compare what each platform actually offers for Aunoa, operation by operation, before settling on one. The list will point you to the right one.
