What the Cloudmersive Zapier integration does for you
The Cloudmersive Zapier integration links your Cloudmersive account to the rest of your tools. A Zap (an automation with one starting event and the steps that follow it) hands Cloudmersive a file, a web address or an email, and gets back the converted, captured or checked result for the next step.
Three outcomes cover most uses. A Word quote or a spreadsheet report becomes a PDF with Convert to PDF, ready to file or send. A landing page becomes an image with Take Screenshot of Website, which gives you a visual record of a client site on a given day. A sign-up address gets a verdict with Validate Email Address before anything else happens to it.
What Zapier does not do here matters just as much. Cloudmersive has no trigger on Zapier, so it never starts a Zap by itself: another app has to fire first, and Cloudmersive always sits in second position. It has no search step either, so a Zap cannot look back at past conversions inside Cloudmersive. And the integration stops at those three jobs (nothing else from Cloudmersive shows up in the editor).
The same app also has a page on the Make side, the Cloudmersive Make integration. Still picking a platform? A good first read is Make vs Zapier.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one starting event, then one or more steps that run each time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts a Zap. Cloudmersive has none, so the trigger always comes from another tool you use.
- Action
- The step that does the work once the Zap is running. All three Cloudmersive operations on Zapier are actions.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completed successfully. The monthly allowance of your plan is counted in tasks.
- Polling vs instant trigger
- Zapier checks a polling trigger on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself, the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry on only when the incoming data meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Cloudmersive account, linked to Zapier once and then reused by every step that calls Cloudmersive.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter turns it into one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What Cloudmersive on Zapier really costs
Cloudmersive is not a premium app on Zapier, so it works on the free plan. You pay in tasks, and only actions that succeed are counted.
- Premium appNo, free plan accepted
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Per successful action1 task
- Trigger and failed actionsNot counted
Each conversion, screenshot or email check that goes through costs one task. A failed one costs nothing, and neither does the trigger of the other app. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month, but only two-step Zaps: one trigger, one Cloudmersive action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap turns multi-step, which takes a paid plan. The interval grid below applies to the polling trigger of the app that starts the Zap.
Connect Cloudmersive to Zapier in 3 steps
- 01
Open Apps and add a connection
In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. Have your Cloudmersive login ready: Zapier links an account that already exists, it does not create one.
- 02
Find Cloudmersive and confirm
Type Cloudmersive in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the results, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Cloudmersive side for the last move.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Cloudmersive in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection is saved, and every Zap step that uses Cloudmersive picks it up without asking again.
Your first Zap: vet sign-up emails before HubSpot
GoalWhen someone submits a Typeform form, Cloudmersive checks the email, and HubSpot gets a new contact only when the address passes.
- 01
Build the Zap on Typeform
Create a new Zap and choose Typeform as the app that starts it, with the new-entry event. Connect the account and select the form that collects sign-ups.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent entries of that form, so you map the next steps on a real answer instead of an empty template.
- 03
Add Validate Email Address
Add Cloudmersive with Validate Email Address and map the email answer from the form into the Email Address field, the only one this action asks for. Then test it.
- 04
Filter on the verdict
Add a filter and point it at the value in the test result that tells you the address is valid. Pick a rule that matches its type: a text rule never passes on a number.
- 05
Create the contact and publish
Add HubSpot with a create-contact step, map the email, test it, then click Publish. With four steps, this Zap runs on a paid plan.
Cloudmersive actions available on Zapier
Cloudmersive gives you 3 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Convert to PDF
ActionIn Zapier“Converts an office document into a PDF file”
Hand it an office document plus its file name, and it gives back the same content as a PDF that later steps can store or send on.
Take Screenshot of Website
ActionIn Zapier“Take a screenshot image of any website”
Give this one a web address and it captures that page as an image, which the following step can drop into a folder or post in a channel.
Validate Email Address
ActionIn Zapier“Check if an email address is real or fake”
Send it a single address and it tells the Zap whether that address looks genuine or fake, so the steps after it can react to the answer.
When a Cloudmersive Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Cloudmersive, so the failures worth knowing are the ones every Zap can hit.
Because Cloudmersive always runs second, most of these start at the trigger app, not at Cloudmersive. If a run goes wrong, open Zapier troubleshooting before rebuilding anything.
Old files never get processed
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Documents already sitting in the folder before publishing are not converted: moving that backlog is a separate job.The Zap that feeds itself
Save the PDF back into the very folder your trigger watches and the new file starts the Zap again, over and over, eating through your task count fast.A bulk import gets held back
Drop a huge batch into the trigger app at once, after a migration for instance, and Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back instead of running them all.No double runs on a polling trigger
When the trigger app is polled, Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so the same file or entry does not start the Zap twice and cost a second task.
