Fleep Zapier integrationAutomate Fleep with Zapier.

The Fleep Zapier integration does one job: it posts into a Fleep conversation. Zapier lists 0 triggers, 1 action and 0 searches for it, so another app starts the automation and Fleep receives the message, formatted, in the conversation you picked.

Overview

What the Fleep Zapier integration actually does

Linking Fleep to Zapier means one thing: an event in some other app makes Zapier write a message into a Fleep conversation. Fleep is the business messenger where your team, partners and clients talk (people without an account follow along by email). Zapier is the go-between that reacts to the event and posts for you.

Three results people usually get out of it, all built on the single action Send Message:

A booking alert in the sales room. Someone books a demo in a scheduling tool, and the sales conversation gets a line with the name and the time slot. Nobody has to forward the confirmation email.

A daily-ops ping for the support crew. A form submission or a new ticket in a helpdesk lands as a short, bolded message in the support conversation, so the person on duty sees it where they already chat.

A client-facing status note. Because a Fleep conversation can include outside guests by email, a message posted by the Zap reaches them too. A delivery update written once in your project tool shows up in front of the client without a copy-paste.

Now the honest part. Zapier does not read Fleep. There is no trigger, so a new Fleep message can never start a Zap. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up a conversation, a member or an old message. And the action writes to one conversation at a time: the one whose hook URL you pasted. If the plan was to sync Fleep with a CRM in both directions, this integration covers only the outbound half.

If you are weighing tools, the Fleep Make integration page sits next to this one, and the Make vs Zapier comparison sets the two platforms side by side.

Vocabulary

Zapier words, in plain English

Seven terms come back on this page. Here is each one in a line, so the rest reads without a dictionary.

Zap
The automation itself: one starting event, then one or more steps that run on their own every time that event happens again.
Trigger
The event, in some app, that starts the Zap. Fleep has none on Zapier, so the trigger always comes from another tool.
Action
What the Zap does once it is running. Here, the only one is Send Message, which writes into a Fleep conversation for you.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. Your plan gives you a monthly count of those, nothing else.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked on a timer by Zapier. An instant one is pushed by the app the moment it happens, with no waiting.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets your condition, and quietly stops it the rest of the time.
Connection
Your account of an app, linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that touches that app in any of your Zaps.
Cost

What a Fleep Zap really costs

Fleep is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. The bill is counted in tasks, and only the action counts.

  • Premium appNo, available on the free plan
  • One message sent1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • Filter before FleepMulti-step Zap, paid plan

Each message Fleep receives from the Zap is one task. A message that fails is not counted, and the trigger in the other app never costs anything, however often Zapier checks it. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two steps per Zap: one trigger, one action. Add a filter so only some events reach Fleep, and you have a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. How fast the message arrives depends on the other app's trigger: if it is polled, the plan sets the delay.

Connect

Connect Fleep to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. Type Fleep in the search box of the dialog and pick it from the results. You need a Fleep account to go further.

  2. 02

    Authorize the account

    Click Add connection, sign in to Fleep in the tab that opens, then grant Zapier access to the account. If the target conversation belongs to someone else, make sure you are a member who can post in it.

  3. 03

    Get the hook URL from Fleep

    The action also asks for a hook URL. In the Fleep conversation, open Conversation Settings, then Integrations, select Zapier, click Add, then Create. Copy the URL from the Active integrations list and paste it into the Hook URL field of the step.

First Zap

Your first Zap: demo bookings into the sales conversation

GoalEach time a prospect books a demo through Calendly, the sales conversation in Fleep gets a short message, but only for the event type you choose.

  1. 01

    Build the trigger

    Create a Zap and pick Calendly with the booking event as the start. Connect your Calendly account when Zapier asks, then move to the test.

  2. 02

    Test it on a real booking

    The test brings back the three most recent items of the account. Pick one and look at what came back: you will spot the event name you want to keep.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon, choose Filter, then set the field, the rule and the value with the event name from the test. Use a text rule, since it compares text. This step makes the Zap multi-step.

  4. 04

    Add Send Message

    Add Fleep with the action Send Message. Paste the hook URL of the sales conversation, then write the message and map the invitee name and time from the trigger. Wrap the name in asterisks to make it bold.

  5. 05

    Test and publish

    Run the Fleep step once and check that the line shows up in the conversation. If it reads well, click Publish to switch the Zap on.

Actions

The Fleep action on Zapier

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

1

Send Message

Action

In Zapier“Send a new message to a Fleep conversation.”

Posts a new message into the Fleep conversation tied to the hook URL you paste, with text built from earlier steps. Light formatting works inside the text: asterisks for bold, underscores for italics, ::: on its own line for a code block, and link<<text>> for an inline link.

When to use it
any alert your team should read where it already talks, like a signed quote or a new hire's first day.
Watch out
the hook is created per conversation, so this step cannot pick a conversation on the fly.
When it breaks

When a Fleep Zap goes wrong

Zapier attaches no help article to Fleep, and no Fleep-specific limit is documented there. What breaks is the usual Zapier behavior, seen from the Fleep side.

Since Fleep only receives, most trouble starts upstream, in the trigger app, or in the filter in between. Four cases cover what to expect.

  • Old events never arrive

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Bookings or orders that existed before you published will not be posted to Fleep. Moving that backlog is a separate job.
  • A bulk import goes quiet

    If the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back instead of posting them all to the conversation.
  • The same event posts only once

    On a polling trigger, Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so an item does not start the Zap twice. That is by design, not a missing message.
  • The filter never lets anything through

    Filter rules are typed: a text rule only works on text, a number rule only on numbers. Pick the wrong kind and nothing reaches Fleep, even when the value looks right.

FAQ

Fleep and Zapier: common questions

01Is the Fleep Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free plan, because Zapier does not class Fleep as a premium app. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and as many Zaps as you like. The catch is the shape of those Zaps: two steps only, one trigger in another app and Send Message in Fleep. As soon as you add a filter or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and requires a paid plan. No price is quoted here on purpose, since the grids change too often.
02How many tasks does a Fleep message use?
One task per message that goes through. The trigger in the other app costs nothing, and neither do the checks Zapier makes to look for new data. A failed send is not counted either. So a Zap that posts ten booking alerts in a month uses ten tasks. If you add a second action after Fleep, say a row in a spreadsheet, each successful run then counts two, because every action that works is billed separately.
03Does Fleep get the message in real time?
It depends entirely on the app that starts the Zap, since Fleep has no trigger of its own. If that app pushes its events to Zapier, an instant trigger, the message goes out straight away whatever your plan. If Zapier has to poll it, the delay follows your plan: every 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. A lightning bolt in the editor tells you the trigger is instant.
04What does it take to connect Fleep?
A Fleep account and posting rights in the conversation you want to reach. On Zapier, you open the Apps page, click + Add connection, pick Fleep, sign in and grant access. Then the Send Message step asks for a hook URL, generated inside the Fleep conversation from Conversation Settings, Integrations, Zapier. Without that URL, the step cannot run, because it is mandatory alongside the message text. Since the hook belongs to one conversation, the URL you paste decides where every message of that step lands.
05Can one Zap post to several Fleep conversations?
Not with a single step. Each hook URL is created inside one conversation, and the Send Message step takes one hook URL. To reach two conversations, generate a hook in each and add a second Send Message step, which turns the Zap into a multi-step one on a paid plan. Each of those messages then counts as its own task. Splitting into two separate two-step Zaps also works, and stays possible on the free plan.
06What if the Fleep operation you want is missing?
Then Zapier cannot do it for Fleep today. The integration offers only Send Message: no trigger to react to new Fleep messages, and no search to look up a conversation or a member. If the goal is to read from Fleep, this integration will not get you there. Check the list of operations on the other platforms before building, and keep Zapier for the outbound alerts it handles well, from any app that has a trigger.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Fleep?
Judge on a few criteria rather than a ranking. Direction first: on Zapier, Fleep only receives messages, through Send Message, so ask whether you also need to read from Fleep. Budget next: here a two-step alert runs on the free plan, while a filter calls for a paid one. Setup last: the Zapier step relies on a hook URL created per conversation. Compare those points with each platform's own list of Fleep operations before choosing.
