Overview

What the FeedHive Zapier integration is for

FeedHive manages social media content at volume: you plan posts, it publishes them on your networks. Plugged into Zapier, it stops being an island. Each post that goes out, fails or gets scheduled, and each comment, can start an automation elsewhere, and posts can be created from outside FeedHive.

Three results worth building. An alert when publishing fails: Post Failed tells you right away, instead of finding out at the end of the week that nothing went out. A trail of everything published: Post Published hands each live post to Zapier so another tool can record it. Posts that start outside FeedHive: Create Post Using Trigger runs one of the Triggers of your FeedHive account, so a Zap can feed it.

The best news on this page: the four triggers are instant. FeedHive itself tells Zapier when something happens, so the polling interval of the plans never slows them down, even on Free.

What Zapier does not do here. There is no search step, so a Zap cannot look up an existing FeedHive post. The only action goes through a FeedHive Trigger: nothing edits, deletes or reschedules a post. Figures read on 2026-10-01, implementation App231927CLIAPI@1.0.0.

Vocabulary

Zapier words you will meet

Seven terms, one line each.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it: a FeedHive post failing, for instance.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or creates something for you, like a post in FeedHive.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The allowance on your plan is counted in tasks.
Polling vs instant
Polling: Zapier checks the app on a timer. Instant: the app calls Zapier the moment the event happens. All FeedHive triggers are instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action turns a Zap into one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a FeedHive Zap really costs

The four FeedHive triggers cost nothing, however many posts and comments come through. Only the actions that succeed are billed, one task each.

  • TriggersFree, never counted
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Premium appNo, available on the free plan

So a Zap that runs Create Post Using Trigger after each matching comment costs one task per post created, and a failed action is not counted. FeedHive is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan: 100 tasks a month and two-step Zaps only. The interval grid below concerns polling triggers; FeedHive's instant ones ignore it. A filter, though, makes the Zap multi-step, and that needs a paid plan.

Connect

Connect FeedHive to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In Zapier, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a FeedHive account first, plus access to any content you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Pick FeedHive

    Type FeedHive in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the FeedHive side so you can finish signing in there.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to FeedHive in that tab and allow Zapier to reach the account. Every Zap that uses FeedHive afterwards picks this connection instead of asking again.

First Zap

Your first Zap: answer pricing questions with a post

GoalWhen a comment mentions pricing, FeedHive gets a new post created through one of its Triggers, so the whole audience sees the answer.

  1. 01

    Build: pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap, choose FeedHive as the app and Comment Added as the event that starts it, then select the FeedHive connection you just made.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent comments of the account. Pick a real one, since you map the next steps from what it contains.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    From the plus icon, add a Filter. Pick the comment text, the text rule that says it contains, then the word price. Wrong rule type and it never passes.

  4. 04

    Add Create Post Using Trigger

    Choose FeedHive again with Create Post Using Trigger, pick the FeedHive Trigger meant for answer posts, and map the comment into it.

  5. 05

    Test, then Publish

    Test the action once and check in FeedHive that the post came out as you expected. Then click Publish to switch the Zap on.

Triggers

FeedHive triggers

4 events start a Zap when something happens in FeedHive, and 4 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Comment Added

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a comment is added to a post (either internal team comments or social media comments, depending on configuration).”

Starts the Zap when a comment lands on a post. Depending on how it is set up, that means comments from your own team inside FeedHive, or comments left by people on the social networks.

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 coaching business that wants every public comment copied into its community inbox, so nobody waits for an answer.
Watch out
check which kind of comment your setup sends before mapping fields, internal and public ones are not the same audience.
2

Post Failed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a post fails to publish to a social media platform.”

Fires when FeedHive could not publish a post to one of your networks. It is the event nobody watches until a campaign quietly misses its slot.

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 social media freelancer managing several clients who wants an alert in their task tool for each failure, so the post gets fixed and sent again by hand.
Watch out
do not answer a failure by recreating the same post automatically, a second failure would set the Zap off again.
3

Post Published

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a post is successfully published to a social media platform.”

Fires once a post has actually gone live on a social network. That makes it the right signal for anything that should only happen after publication, never before.

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 marketing team that keeps a log of everything published, so every report is built from real posts and not from the plan.
Watch out
a Zap on this trigger that creates a post through FeedHive can feed itself once that post is published.
4

Post Scheduled

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a post is scheduled for future publishing.”

Fires when a post gets a publishing slot in the future. You learn what is coming before it goes out, while there is still time to react.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
an agency that wants each scheduled post pushed to the client's review calendar, so the client sees the content ahead of time.
Watch out
a Zap only sees posts scheduled after it is published, the ones already in the queue never come through.
Actions

The FeedHive action

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

1

Create Post Using Trigger

Action

In Zapier“Uses a Trigger in FeedHive”

Creates a post by running one of the Triggers that exist in your FeedHive account, with data handed over by the earlier steps of the Zap. It is the only way into FeedHive from Zapier.

When to use it
a new blog article or product announcement in another tool should become a social post without copy and paste.
Watch out
placed after Post Published or Post Scheduled, it can start a loop.
When it breaks

When a FeedHive Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to FeedHive, so these cases come from how Zapier behaves with every app.

With one action that creates posts and four triggers that watch posts, the classic trap is the loop. If a Zap stops for a reason you cannot see, our Zapier troubleshooting guide takes over.

  • The Zap that publishes itself again

    Create Post Using Trigger behind Post Published or Post Scheduled: every post the Zap makes can start it again, and your task count drains fast.
  • Old posts never come through

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Posts already published or scheduled stay out: moving that history is a separate job.
  • A big batch gets held back

    Schedule a large stack of content at once and Zapier receives a flood of events. Its flood protection can hold that batch back instead of running it all.

FAQ

FeedHive Zapier integration: your questions

01Is the FeedHive Zapier integration free?
Yes, on the free plan, within limits. FeedHive is not a premium app, so it runs without a paid Zapier subscription. Free gives you 100 tasks a month, an unlimited number of Zaps and two-step Zaps: one trigger and one action. Since the four FeedHive triggers are instant, the free plan's polling interval does not slow them down. Add a filter, a second action or a search, though, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan.
02How many Zapier tasks does a FeedHive Zap use?
One task per successful action, nothing for the trigger. A Zap that alerts you each time a post fails costs one task per failure, and nothing on the days everything goes out fine. A Zap with two actions costs two tasks per run, because each action that succeeds is counted on its own. Actions that fail are not counted against the plan. A few apps and actions take more than one task when they complete, so check the task history once the Zap runs.
03Are FeedHive triggers real time?
Yes, all four of them. Comment Added, Post Failed, Post Published and Post Scheduled are instant triggers: FeedHive calls Zapier the moment the event happens, so the Zap starts right away. The interval grid of the plans, 15 minutes on Free down to 1 minute on Team and Enterprise, only concerns polling triggers. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. The type comes from the app itself and cannot be changed from Zapier.
04What does it take to connect a FeedHive account?
A FeedHive account, plus access to any content you do not own yourself if the Zap has to touch it. Then three moves: open the Apps page of Zapier and click Add connection, pick FeedHive in the dialog, sign in to FeedHive in the tab that opens and grant access. Every later Zap reuses that connection. No field of the FeedHive operations is marked as required on Zapier's listing, so the connection itself is the main prerequisite.
05Can a FeedHive Zap end up posting in a loop?
Yes, if you wire it badly. The only action, Create Post Using Trigger, creates posts, and two triggers, Post Published and Post Scheduled, watch posts. Put that action behind one of those triggers and each post the Zap creates can set it off again, burning tasks. Start from Comment Added or Post Failed instead, or from a trigger in another app, and keep a filter in place so only the events you mean get through.
06What if the FeedHive operation you need is not on Zapier?
Then Zapier cannot do it with this app, because the editor only shows what FeedHive publishes. Today that is four triggers, Comment Added, Post Failed, Post Published and Post Scheduled, and one action, Create Post Using Trigger. There is no search, and nothing to edit or delete a post. Check FeedHive's page on Zapier before you build, since the list follows the app's versions. Anything outside it has to happen in FeedHive itself or in another automation tool.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for FeedHive?
Decide on criteria, not on a ranking. First, coverage: compare what each platform offers for FeedHive with the steps your scenario needs. Second, cost: Zapier bills every successful action as a task, so a Zap with three actions costs three times one with a single action. Third, timing: on Zapier the four FeedHive triggers are instant, so speed does not depend on your plan. Last, who will maintain the automation, and which tool that person already knows.
