Fingertip Zapier integrationAutomate Fingertip with Zapier.

The Fingertip Zapier integration gives you 6 triggers and 1 action. Every trigger is instant, so a booking, an order or a form reply reaches Zapier the moment it lands, even on the free plan. The one action adds a contact to a Fingertip site.

Overview

What the Fingertip Zapier integration actually does

Fingertip is a one-stop page builder aimed at small businesses: a site, bookings, a shop and forms in one place. Connecting it to Zapier means your Fingertip activity can set other work in motion on its own, and that new people can be pushed into a Fingertip site's contact list without anyone copying them over.

Three results come up again and again. First, a live view of your calendar: Booking Created, Booking Rescheduled and Booking Cancelled each start a Zap, so a change to an appointment is never something you find out by opening the dashboard. Second, an order trail: New Order fires on every purchase, which is the starting point for any follow-up after a sale. Third, a contact list that fills itself: New Form Response and New Site Contact tell you who just reached out, and Create Site Contact writes someone into a site from elsewhere.

Now the limits, because they matter before you build. Zapier can only add contacts to Fingertip. It cannot create, move or cancel a booking, it cannot touch an order, and it cannot look anything up in Fingertip first, since the app offers no search step. If your plan needs any of that, it has to happen inside Fingertip itself.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

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

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time that event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap, such as a new Fingertip booking. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like adding a site contact.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
Instant vs polling
An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment the event happens. A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer instead.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it quietly otherwise.
Connection
Your Fingertip account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that touches Fingertip.
Cost

What a Fingertip Zap costs you

Fingertip is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. Zapier bills tasks, and only actions make tasks.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
  • Steps on the free planOne trigger and one action
  • Fingertip triggersInstant on every plan
  • Premium appNo

The trigger never costs anything, and neither does Zapier waiting for it. Each action that succeeds counts as one task; a failed one is not counted. The free plan stops at two steps, one trigger and one action, so adding a filter turns your Zap into a multi-step Zap that needs a paid plan. Good news on speed for you: all six Fingertip triggers are instant, so the polling grid below never slows them down.

Connect

Connect Fingertip to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your Zapier apps

    In your Zapier account, go to the Apps page and click + Add connection. You need a Fingertip account already, plus access to any site you do not own yourself but want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Pick Fingertip

    Type Fingertip in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the Fingertip side so you can sign in.

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Log in to Fingertip with the account that runs your sites and grant Zapier access. From then on, every Zap that uses Fingertip reuses this one connection, so you never sign in twice.

First Zap

Your first Zap: a form reply becomes a site contact

GoalA visitor answers a Fingertip form that asks for an email address, and only replies where that answer is filled in are added to the contact list of the site you choose.

  1. 01

    Build: choose the trigger

    Start a new Zap, pick Fingertip as the app and New Form Response as the event. Select your Fingertip connection, then fill in the slug of the form you want to watch.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier pulls the three most recent replies from your account, so you map the next steps on a real answer instead of a guess. If none come back, send a reply to the form yourself.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon and add Filter. Pick your form's email answer as the field (only there if the form asks for one), choose a text rule that lets a filled-in answer through, and test. This step makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

  4. 04

    Add the action

    Add Fingertip again, choose Create Site Contact, enter the Site ID of the target site and map the email from the form reply into the Email field.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test the action once and check the contact shows up on the right site. When it does, click Publish to switch the Zap on. Replies that arrived before that moment are not picked up.

Triggers

The 6 Fingertip triggers

6 events start a Zap when something happens in Fingertip, and 6 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Booking Cancelled

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a booking is cancelled.”

Fires each time an appointment on one of your Fingertip sites is cancelled. That makes it the trigger for freeing up whatever was set aside for the 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 personal trainer who wants to know right away that a session dropped, so the slot can be offered to someone on a waiting list.
Watch out
Zapier cannot reopen or rebook the slot in Fingertip for you, so any rebooking still happens by hand inside the app.
2

Booking Created

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new booking is created.”

Starts the Zap as soon as somebody books a new appointment through Fingertip. It is the natural first step for anything that should follow a fresh booking, such as a welcome note or a prep checklist.

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 dog groomer who wants every new appointment to land in the shared team planner without retyping it.
Watch out
map only what the test actually brought back from a real booking, since this page cannot tell you which details a booking carries.
3

Booking Rescheduled

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a booking is rescheduled.”

Runs when an existing Fingertip booking moves to a new date or time. The appointment stays the same, only its slot changes, and the Zap hears about it straight away.

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 tutor who keeps a second calendar elsewhere and needs it to follow every change a parent makes to a lesson time.
Watch out
if you also run a Zap on Booking Created, pair the two, otherwise your other calendar only ever sees the original slot.
4

New Form Response

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new form response is created.”

Picks up every answer submitted to one Fingertip form. Each reply starts its own run, which turns a contact or quote form into the front door of a whole process.

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 wedding photographer whose enquiry form should open a lead in the tool the team already works from.
Watch out
the trigger asks for the Form Template Slug, so one Zap follows one form; a second form needs its own Zap.
5

New Order

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an order is created.”

Fires on every order placed through a Fingertip site, as soon as it is created. If you sell products or paid services from Fingertip, this is where order follow-up starts.

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 small candle shop that wants each new order to show up in its packing list without anyone copying it from the dashboard.
Watch out
Zapier only reads orders here; it has no action to update or cancel an order back in Fingertip.
6

New Site Contact

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new site contact is created.”

Fires when a new contact appears on one of your Fingertip sites. It is the signal that someone new now sits in that site's contact list.

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 local bakery that wants every new contact copied into its newsletter tool the minute they show up.
Watch out
never pair this trigger with Create Site Contact on the same site, or each new contact creates another and the Zap loops.
Actions

The Fingertip action

Fingertip 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 Site Contact

Action

In Zapier“Create a site contact in Fingertip.”

Adds a person to the contact list of a Fingertip site you pick. It is the only way Zapier can write into Fingertip, so every inbound flow ends here.

When to use it
a consultant who collects leads from a webinar tool and wants them sitting in the Fingertip site, ready for follow-up.
Watch out
both the Site ID and the Email are required, so a source that sometimes lacks an email needs a filter first.
When it breaks

When a Fingertip Zap breaks

Zapier ties no help article to Fingertip, so the known failure points are the ones every Zap shares.

None of them shows up as an error the day you publish. They appear later, when the volume or the setup changes. Four to keep in mind:

  • Old bookings never come through

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Bookings, orders and contacts from before that moment are not picked up, and moving them is a separate job.

  • A contact Zap that feeds itself

    A Zap on New Site Contact that runs Create Site Contact on the same site sets itself off again and again, and your task count drains fast.

  • A bulk import gets held back

    If a large batch of contacts or orders lands at once, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold the runs back instead of firing them all.

  • A missing email stops the action

    Create Site Contact needs an email. When the step before it has none, the action fails, and a failed action is not billed, but the contact is not created either.

FAQ

Fingertip Zapier integration: your questions

01Is the Fingertip Zapier integration free?
Yes, you can run it on the free Zapier plan, because Fingertip is not a premium app. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap stops at two steps: one trigger and one action. A Zap that only sends new bookings somewhere fits that easily. As soon as you add a filter or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and you need a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Fingertip Zap use?
One task per action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger. A Zap that turns each form reply into a site contact uses one task per reply. A Zap with three actions uses three tasks each time it runs. Zapier waiting for a booking or an order costs nothing, and an action that fails is not billed. Keep in mind that the free plan caps you at 100 tasks a month, so count your expected bookings before you rely on it.
03Do Fingertip triggers run in real time?
Yes. All six Fingertip triggers are instant: Fingertip itself tells Zapier the moment a booking, an order, a form reply or a contact appears, and the Zap starts right away. The polling grid, which sets checks every 15 minutes on the free plan, does not apply to them. In the editor you will see a lightning bolt on these triggers. That is a real advantage on the free plan, where a polling trigger waits for the next check.
04What does it take to connect a Fingertip account?
A Fingertip account, plus access to any site you do not own but want the Zap to touch. The connection itself takes three moves: open the Apps page in Zapier, click + Add connection and pick Fingertip, then sign in and grant access in the tab that opens. After that, the same connection serves every Zap. Keep the Site ID and your form slugs handy, because the action and the form trigger ask for them.
05Why does a Fingertip contact Zap keep running on its own?
Most likely it writes into the place it watches. A Zap that starts on New Site Contact and then runs Create Site Contact on the same site creates a contact, which fires the trigger again, which creates another contact. The loop burns through your task count quickly. Point the action at a different site, or start the Zap from another event such as New Form Response, and the loop stops.
06What if the Fingertip action you need is not there?
Then Zapier cannot do it for Fingertip today. The app offers one action, Create Site Contact, and no search, so creating bookings, editing orders or updating a contact is out of reach from a Zap. The practical route is to keep that part inside Fingertip and use the triggers to tell your other tools what happened. If the gap blocks a whole process, it is worth comparing what other platforms offer for the same app.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Fingertip?
It comes down to criteria, not a winner. First, check that the operation you need exists on each platform: on Zapier, Fingertip offers six instant triggers and one action. Second, look at how each tool bills a run; on Zapier, only successful actions count as tasks. Third, decide who will maintain the setup and how much of it your team wants to handle. Weigh those three points against your own process before you pick.
