Overview

What the Drimify Zapier integration actually does

Drimify is a gamification platform: you build interactive games and put them in front of an audience. Hooked to Zapier, it becomes a starting point: each time someone plays, a Zap (the automation you build on Zapier, one trigger followed by one or more actions) picks up that play and passes it on to another tool you already use.

Three outcomes people usually build with Collect Your Application Data, the only operation on offer:

A lead in your CRM. Every play lands as a contact in HubSpot or a similar tool, so the sales team follows up on people who actually engaged with the campaign.

A running log. Each play adds a row to a spreadsheet, which gives marketing a list to sort and count without logging in to Drimify.

A team alert. A message goes to a chat channel when a play comes in, handy during a live event or a short promotion.

Now the honest part. Zapier cannot do anything inside Drimify. There is no action to create a game, change one or edit a participant, and no search to look one up. Data flows one way, out of Drimify. If a workflow needs to push something back in, this integration will not cover it.

The same app also has a page on the other side of the fence: the Drimify Make integration. If you are still weighing platforms, Make vs Zapier sets out the differences in general terms.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words come back on this page. Here is what each one means in plain terms.

Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for that event and nothing else.
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 task equals one action your Zap finished successfully; your plan counts those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer. It asks the app for recent items at a set interval and keeps only the ones it has not seen.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports by itself, calling Zapier the moment the event happens. Drimify does not offer one.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming item meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Drimify account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step and every Zap that needs Drimify.
Cost

What it really costs

Drimify is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The bill depends on actions, never on the trigger.

  • TriggerFree, never counted
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Premium appNo, works on Free

Watching Drimify for new plays costs nothing, however often Zapier checks. Each action that completes counts as one task; an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Practical sum: plays per month times actions per Zap, against those 100 tasks.

Connect

Connect Drimify to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A dialog opens with a search box. Before you start, make sure you have a Drimify account with at least one game set up.

  2. 02

    Find Drimify and start the link

    Type Drimify in the dialog, pick it from the results, then click Add connection. Zapier opens a new tab where Drimify asks you to sign in with the account that owns your games.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Drimify and allow Zapier to reach the account. The connection then shows up on the Apps page, ready for any Zap. If a colleague owns the game, you need access to it before Zapier can read its plays.

First Zap

Your first Zap: qualified players go to HubSpot

GoalEvery new play is checked, and only the ones you care about become HubSpot contacts.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap, choose Drimify as the app and Collect Your Application Data as the event. Select the Drimify connection you created a moment ago.

  2. 02

    Choose the game to watch

    Fill in the application type, then the application itself. Both boxes are required, and they decide which game feeds this Zap. One Zap watches one game.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent plays from that game, so you map later steps on a real one. No play yet? Play the game once yourself, then test again.

  4. 04

    Add a filter

    Click the plus icon, add Filter, and set three boxes: a value you spotted in the test result, a rule, and what to compare it with. Pick a text rule for text and a number rule for numbers.

  5. 05

    Add the HubSpot action and map fields

    Add HubSpot with Create Contact, connect your account, and drag the player details from the Drimify test into the matching HubSpot boxes. Test this step too and check the contact.

  6. 06

    Publish

    Click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on, every new play goes through the filter. Keep in mind the filter makes it a multi-step Zap, so it runs on a paid plan.

Triggers

The Drimify trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Drimify. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

Collect Your Application Data

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new play has been recorded.”

Starts your Zap whenever a fresh play is recorded in the Drimify game you pick, and passes the details of that play to the next step. It is the single door between Drimify and the rest of your tools.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one
When to use it
a trade-show quiz where each participant should end up in your CRM without anyone copying names from a dashboard.
Watch out
you must choose both an application type and an application, so the game has to exist in Drimify first, and a second game means a second Zap.
When it breaks

When it breaks

Zapier links no help article to Drimify, so the failures worth knowing come from how Zapier itself behaves.

Most surprises with this integration are about timing and history, not errors. Four cases to know before a campaign goes live.

  • Old plays never come through

    A Zap only reacts to plays recorded after you publish it. Everything that happened before stays in Drimify, and moving that backlog is a separate job.

  • Plays show up late

    Drimify relies on a polling trigger. On the free plan, Zapier checks every 15 minutes, so a play can wait that long before your Zap sees it.

  • A burst of plays gets held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of firing hundreds of runs at once.

  • The Zap stops after the trigger

    On the free plan a Zap has two steps. Add a filter or a second action and it needs a paid plan before it will run.

FAQ

Drimify Zapier integration: questions people ask

01Is the Drimify Zapier integration free?
Yes, on the free plan. Drimify is not a premium app, so you can connect it and build a Zap without paying. The free plan does set limits, though: 100 tasks a month, a check for new plays every 15 minutes, and Zaps of two steps only, one trigger plus one action. As soon as you add a filter or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and Zapier asks for a paid plan. For a simple play-to-CRM flow on a small campaign, the free plan is often enough.
02How many tasks does a Drimify Zap use?
The trigger itself costs nothing. Zapier can look at your Drimify game as often as your plan allows and never bill you for checking. What counts is each action that completes: one play sent to one app equals one task. If your Zap has three actions, a single play costs three tasks. Actions that fail are not counted. So the number to watch is plays multiplied by the number of actions in your Zap, measured against the 100 tasks of the free plan.
03Does Drimify send plays to Zapier in real time?
No. Collect Your Application Data is a polling trigger: Zapier goes to Drimify on a timer and asks for new plays. On the free plan that happens every 15 minutes, on Professional every 2 minutes, and on Team and Enterprise every minute. Drimify offers no instant trigger, and that cannot be changed from the editor. For most campaigns a short delay is harmless. During a live event where people expect an instant message after playing, plan around it.
04What do you need to connect Drimify to Zapier?
A Drimify account, and access to the games you want to follow. In Zapier you open the Apps page, click + Add connection, search for Drimify, then sign in to Drimify in the tab that opens and grant access. The connection is saved once and reused by every Zap. If a colleague created the game you want to watch, ask for access first, otherwise it will not appear when you set up the trigger.
05Why are the application lists empty when setting up the trigger?
Because the trigger needs a game that already exists. Collect Your Application Data has two required settings, the application type and the application, and Zapier fills those lists from your Drimify account. If the game has not been created yet, or belongs to an account you cannot access, there is nothing to pick and the step cannot be saved. Create the game in Drimify first, check the connected account is the right one, then come back to the Zap.
06What if the Drimify operation you want is not on Zapier?
Then Zapier cannot do it for Drimify today. The integration offers exactly one trigger, Collect Your Application Data, with no action and no search. That means nothing can be created, changed or looked up inside Drimify from a Zap. Anything that starts from a new play is possible, because the play can be handed to any other app Zapier connects. Anything that has to write back into Drimify is out of reach and has to be handled in Drimify itself.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Drimify?
Decide on criteria rather than a ranking. On the Zapier side, the facts are simple: one polling trigger for new plays, no actions, no searches, a free plan that works because Drimify is not premium, and a delay of up to 15 minutes on that free plan. Check whether those limits matter for your campaign, whether you need to write data back into Drimify, and how many plays you expect per month. Then hold the other platforms to the same questions before choosing.
