Delesign Zapier integrationAutomate Delesign with Zapier.
The Delesign Zapier integration gives you 2 triggers, 2 actions and 0 searches. That covers the life of a design project: spot it when it opens, spot it when it is marked Complete, and open or close one from another app without retyping its title.

What the Delesign Zapier integration actually does
It plugs your Delesign account into Zapier so that project events can start a Zap. A Zap is the automation you build there: one trigger, the event that kicks it off, then one or more actions, the steps that do the work. With Delesign, everything revolves around projects, from the day one opens to the day it closes.
Three results people actually set up first. A delivery alert: Completed Project fires once a project's status reads Complete, and a Slack message tells the account manager the files are ready. A project log: New Project adds a row to a sheet each time a project appears, so the whole year of requests sits in one table. A request inbox: Create Project turns a form answer or a ticket into a Delesign project, with its Project Title already filled in.
Now the limits (short list, but it matters). Both triggers are polling ones, so nothing here is instant. There is no search step, which means a Zap cannot look up an existing project before it acts. And the two actions only create or complete: no editing a brief, no attaching files, no comments.
If you are weighing tools, the same app has its own Delesign Make integration page, and the Make vs Zapier comparison sets the two platforms side by side.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words, and the rest of the page reads without a dictionary.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Here, a Delesign project being created or marked Complete. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or changes something for you, like creating a project.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task equals one action that went through; your plan counts how many of those you get.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer. It asks Delesign for recent projects and keeps only the ones it has not seen yet.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens. Delesign has none, so every check waits for the timer.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry on only when the incoming data meets your condition, and stops it quietly otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Delesign account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that touches Delesign.
What a Delesign Zap really costs
Delesign is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. The bill comes from actions, not from watching.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Zap size on FreeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- Premium appNo, Delesign works on every plan
- Trigger checksFree of charge, whatever the interval
The trigger never costs a task, however often Zapier checks for new projects. Each action that succeeds counts once; one that fails counts nothing. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month, but only two-step Zaps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and it becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. Checking for projects is free; only a finished action shows up on the bill.
Connect Delesign to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need an existing Delesign account first: Zapier links to it, it does not create one.
- 02
Find Delesign
Type Delesign in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A sign-in tab for Delesign opens next, ready for your account details.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in with the Delesign account whose projects the Zap should read or change, then grant Zapier access. Projects you do not own need read or write rights on your side.
Your first Zap: tell the team a launch project is done
GoalA marketing team wants a Slack ping in the launch channel whenever a Delesign project with Launch in its title is marked Complete.
- 01
Build: pick the trigger
Create a Zap, choose Delesign as the starting app and Completed Project as the event. Select the connection you added earlier.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent completed projects of the account, so you work on a real one. Mark a project Complete in Delesign first if none shows up.
- 03
Add the filter
Click the plus icon and add Filter. Pick Project Title, the text rule contains, and type Launch. This step makes the Zap multi-step, so a paid plan is required.
- 04
Add the Slack action
Add Slack with Send Channel Message, pick the channel, and map the project title from the trigger into the message so the team knows which job closed.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test the action and check the message in Slack. Then click Publish: from that moment, each launch project marked Complete reaches the channel at the next check.
Delesign triggers
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Delesign. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
Completed Project
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a project's status is marked as Complete.”
This one starts your Zap once a project's status in Delesign switches to Complete. It is the natural end point of a design job, so it suits anything that should happen after delivery: an alert, an invoice reminder, a client follow-up.
New Project
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new project is created by the user.”
Here the Zap wakes up when someone opens a new project in the connected Delesign account. Think of it as the intake side: every request becomes a signal you can route to a sheet, a channel or a planning board.
Delesign actions
Delesign gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Complete Project
ActionIn Zapier“Updates the status of an existing project to Complete”
Flips an existing Delesign project to Complete, so the status follows what happened in another tool instead of waiting for a manual click.
Create Project
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a project”
Opens a fresh project in Delesign. The only field it insists on is the Project Title, which you can map from a form, a ticket or a row.
When a Delesign Zap breaks
Zapier ties no help article to Delesign, so the traps below are the general ones. They still bite.
Most failures here come from expectations, not from errors. For the rest, the Zapier troubleshooting guide walks through the editor side.
Old projects never show up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Projects opened or completed before publishing are ignored, and moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that feeds itself
Watch Delesign and write into Delesign in the same Zap, and it can set itself off again and again, eating through your monthly task count fast.A sudden flood of projects
After a bulk import, a trigger that suddenly returns a huge batch can be held back by Zapier's flood protection instead of running everything at once.No duplicate runs
Zapier remembers which projects it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same project does not start the Zap twice. Good news, but don't expect a replay.
