What the HeySummit Zapier integration is for
HeySummit runs online summits: speakers, talks, registrations, tickets. The Zapier integration is a one-way bridge out of it. Something happens in your event, HeySummit tells Zapier, and Zapier runs a step in another tool. Nothing flows back in, because Zapier offers no action that writes into HeySummit.
Three results people build with it, each tied to a real trigger.
A sales feed for the team. Ticket Purchased fires on every ticket bought, so a buyer can land in your CRM or a team chat without anyone exporting a list. Handy on launch day, when sales come in bursts.
A review queue for speaker pitches. New Talk Submission fires once a pitch is ready for review. Turn it into a card on a board and your program committee sees each proposal the moment it lands, not at the end of the call for papers.
Per-talk audience lists. New Talk Attendee fires for each talk a person signs up to. Push those into a sheet and every speaker gets a clean list of who chose their session. New Attendee is the wider net: one run per registration to the event itself.
Now the limits, plainly. Zapier cannot create a talk, add a speaker, register someone or issue a ticket in HeySummit. There is no search step either, so a Zap cannot look up an existing attendee. If your process needs to write into HeySummit, this integration will not do it.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one starting event, then one or more steps that run each time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts a Zap, here a sale, a registration or a speaker pitch in HeySummit. 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, always in another app for HeySummit.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One action that completes successfully counts as one task, and your plan caps how many you get each month.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself: it calls Zapier the moment the event happens. All four HeySummit triggers work this way.
- Polling trigger
- The other kind: Zapier checks the app on a timer for new items. HeySummit has none, so the timer never applies to this app.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived matches a condition you set, and stops it quietly otherwise.
What a HeySummit Zap really costs
Good news first: HeySummit is not a premium app, so it works on the free Zapier plan.
- TriggerFree, never counted
- Successful action1 task each
- Free plan100 tasks a month, 2-step Zaps
- Premium appNo, free plan works
The trigger never costs a task. A registration arriving from HeySummit is free; only the action that follows in your other app is billed, and only when it succeeds. A failed action is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and builds two-step Zaps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. Since all four triggers are instant, the 15-minute check of the free plan does not slow them down.
Connect HeySummit to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open your connections
In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A connection is your HeySummit account linked once, then reused by every Zap that needs it.
- 02
Pick HeySummit
Type HeySummit in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. Have a HeySummit account ready, with access to the event you want to watch.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in to HeySummit in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access to the account. Back in Zapier, the connection shows up in your list, ready for any trigger.
Your first Zap: ticket buyers into HubSpot and Slack
GoalEvery ticket sale lands in HubSpot as a contact, and the sales team gets a Slack message about it.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap and pick HeySummit as the app that starts it, with Ticket Purchased as the event. Choose the connection you added earlier.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent sales from your account, so you can pick a real one and see which values it carries before mapping anything.
- 03
Add HubSpot
Add HubSpot with Create or Update Contact, then map the buyer values you saw in the test into the contact fields. Test the step once.
- 04
Add Slack
Add Slack, pick the channel your sales team reads and write a short message from the same values. Test it once and check what came back.
- 05
Publish
Click Publish to switch it on. With two actions this is a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan and costs two tasks for each sale.
The 4 HeySummit triggers, one by one
4 events start a Zap when something happens in HeySummit, and 4 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Attendee
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new attendee registers for your HeySummit event.”
Starts your Zap each time someone signs up for your HeySummit event as a whole. You get one run per person, whatever talks they pick later, which makes it the right base for a contact list or a welcome sequence in your email tool.
New Talk Attendee
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new attendee registers for a Talk within your HeySummit Event. A Zap is sent for each Talk they register for.”
Fires when a person registers for a specific talk inside your event. HeySummit sends one run per talk, so someone who picks five sessions sets off five runs, each carrying that talk. It is the granular view, session by session.
New Talk Submission
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new talk submission is ready for review in your HeySummit event.”
Kicks off when a speaker proposal is ready for review in your event. This is the one for the organizing side rather than the audience: it turns each pitch into a piece of work for whoever chooses the program.
Ticket Purchased
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an attendee purchased a ticket on your HeySummit event.”
Runs when an attendee buys a ticket for your HeySummit event. Of the four, this is the sales signal: a ticket bought, not just a registration, which is what sales and finance usually want to hear about.
When a HeySummit Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to HeySummit and no app-specific limit is documented. What goes wrong comes from Zapier itself, and from how the triggers count.
Four cases come up again and again. In each of them the Zap does less, or costs more, than you expected.
Past registrations never arrive
A Zap only sees what happens after you publish it. The attendees already in your event stay out, and moving that backlog is a separate job, such as an export.One person, many runs
New Talk Attendee fires once per talk chosen. An attendee who books six sessions triggers six runs, and each successful action counts as a task.A launch-day burst is held back
When a trigger suddenly sends a huge batch, Zapier's flood protection can hold the runs back rather than fire them all at once. Expect it after a big promo.The filter silently blocks everything
Filter rules are typed. A text rule on a number, or a number rule on text, never passes, and the Zap stops without doing anything at all.
