Overview

What the Interact Zapier integration does for you

The Interact Zapier integration links the quizzes you build in Interact to the rest of your tools. Each time someone finishes a quiz and leaves their details, Interact hands that lead to Zapier, and Zapier passes it to the next app you picked. No export, no copy and paste.

Everything here starts from one event, New Lead. That sounds thin. In practice it covers the job most quiz owners care about: getting a fresh contact out of the quiz and into the place where follow-up happens. Three outcomes people build most often:

A subscriber in your email tool. The lead goes straight into a list, so the welcome sequence starts while the quiz result is still on their screen.

A record in your CRM. Sales sees the person who just took the quiz without waiting for a weekly import.

A ping to the team. A short message in a chat channel tells someone a new lead came in from a specific quiz.

Now the honest part. Zapier cannot do anything inside Interact. There are no actions and no searches for this app, so a Zap (more on that word below) can read new leads but never create a quiz, edit a result or look up an old lead. It only listens. If the plan is to push data back into Interact, this integration will not get there.

The same app also has a page on the other side of the fence: the Interact Make integration. If you are weighing the two platforms in general, Make vs Zapier sets them side by side.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words cover everything on this page. Each one is explained once, then used as is.

Zap
The automation you build in Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Here it is a new quiz lead in Interact. 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 in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task equals one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
Polling vs instant
Polling: Zapier checks the app on a timer. Instant: the app calls Zapier the moment something happens. Interact is instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets a condition you set, and stops it quietly otherwise.
Connection
Your Interact account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap and every step that needs Interact.
Cost

What an Interact Zap really costs

Short version: Interact is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan, and the trigger itself is free.

  • TriggerFree, never counted as a task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • Premium appNo, available from the free plan
  • New LeadInstant, no interval on any plan

A new lead arriving costs nothing. Zapier only counts a task when an action succeeds, so one lead sent to Mailchimp is one task, and the same lead sent to Mailchimp and Slack is two. An action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap stops at two steps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and it becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below applies to polling triggers only; New Lead is instant, so it skips the wait on every plan.

Connect

Connect Interact to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A dialog opens with a search box. Type Interact and pick it from the list.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Interact

    Click Add connection. A new tab asks you to log in to Interact. Use the account that owns the quizzes you want to automate, or one with access to quizzes someone else built.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Approve the access Zapier asks for. The connection then shows up in your list and every future Zap can reuse it, so this is a one-time job per Interact account.

First Zap

Your first Zap: quiz leads into Mailchimp, with a Slack heads-up

GoalA coach runs a quiz as a lead magnet. Every new lead should join a Mailchimp audience, and the coach wants a Slack message the moment it happens.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap from your dashboard. For the trigger, choose Interact, then the event New Lead, then the connection you set up earlier.

  2. 02

    Pick the quiz

    Select the quiz in the required Quiz field. One Zap watches one quiz, so a second quiz means a second Zap or a duplicate of this one.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads from that quiz. Take the quiz yourself first if it is brand new, so there is something real to look at.

  4. 04

    Add Mailchimp and map

    Add the Mailchimp action, choose the audience, and map the lead details from the test into the matching boxes. Test the step and check the subscriber appeared.

  5. 05

    Add the Slack message

    Add the Slack action, pick the channel and write a short message that pulls in details from the lead. Two actions after the trigger: this Zap needs a paid plan.

  6. 06

    Publish

    Click Publish. From now on each new lead reaches Mailchimp and Slack the moment it is captured. Earlier leads stay where they are.

Triggers

The Interact trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Interact, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Lead

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new lead is collected from quiz.”

Fires each time a visitor completes one of your Interact quizzes and leaves their contact details. The lead arrives in Zapier ready to be mapped into whatever app comes next, whether that is an email list, a CRM or a spreadsheet.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
any time a quiz is your lead magnet and the next step (a welcome email, a sales call) should not wait for a manual export.
Watch out
the Quiz field is required and holds a single quiz, so a business running several quizzes ends up with one Zap per quiz, each one counting its own tasks.
When it breaks

When an Interact Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to Interact, so the traps below are the general ones that hit an app like this.

Most of these fail quietly: the Zap runs, just less often or less fully than planned. If one rings a bell, Zapier troubleshooting is the next stop.

  • Old leads never show up

    A Zap only reacts to leads captured after you publish it. Everyone who took the quiz before stays in Interact, and moving that backlog is a separate job.

  • A sudden wave gets held back

    If a quiz goes viral or leads arrive in one huge batch, Zapier's flood protection can hold the trigger back instead of firing for every single one.

  • The quiz dropdown is empty

    The required Quiz field only lists quizzes the connected account can see. Wrong account, or no quiz built yet, and the trigger cannot be set.

  • Two actions on the free plan

    Mailchimp plus Slack is a multi-step Zap. The free plan stops at one trigger and one action, so either drop the Slack step or move to a paid plan.

FAQ

Interact and Zapier: common questions

01Is the Interact Zapier integration free?
Yes, as long as the Zap stays at two steps. Interact is not a premium app, so the free Zapier plan accepts it, with 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps. The catch is the step limit: on the free plan a Zap is one trigger and one action, nothing more. The moment you add a filter to keep only some leads, or send the same lead to two apps, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan. Interact's own subscription is a separate matter and is not covered here.
02How many Zapier tasks does each quiz lead use?
One task per successful action, and zero for the trigger. A new lead arriving from Interact is free. If the Zap then adds that lead to one app, that is one task. Send it to an email tool and a chat channel and it costs two. An action that fails does not count against your plan. So the real driver of your bill is how many leads your quizzes collect multiplied by how many actions each Zap runs, not how often Zapier listens for new leads.
03Does Interact send leads to Zapier in real time?
Yes. New Lead is an instant trigger: Interact tells Zapier the moment a lead is captured, and the Zap starts straight away. That holds on every plan, including the free one. The 15-minute interval you may have read about applies only to polling triggers, where Zapier has to go and check the app on a timer. In the editor, an instant trigger is marked with a lightning bolt, so you can confirm it before you publish anything.
04What does it take to connect Interact to Zapier?
An Interact account and at least one quiz. The connection itself takes three moves: open the Apps page in Zapier, click + Add connection, then sign in to Interact in the tab that opens and grant access. If the quizzes belong to a colleague, the account you connect must be able to reach them. Without a quiz, the required Quiz field of the New Lead trigger has nothing to offer and the Zap cannot be completed.
05Can one Zap watch several Interact quizzes?
No, one Zap follows one quiz. The New Lead trigger has a single required Quiz field, so a business running three quizzes builds three Zaps, or builds one and duplicates it, changing the quiz each time. Each copy counts its own tasks. The upside is control: a product quiz and a newsletter quiz can each send leads to a different list or a different person, without any filter, which also keeps them inside the two-step limit of the free plan.
06What if the Interact operation you want is not available in Zapier?
Then Zapier cannot do it for now. Interact exposes one visible operation, the New Lead trigger, with no actions and no searches. A Zap can therefore receive new leads but cannot create quizzes, update results or look up past leads inside Interact. If that kind of write-back matters, check what Interact itself offers, or look at another automation platform's page for the same app. Inside Zapier, the workaround is to keep Interact as the starting point and do the rest in the apps that follow.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Interact?
There is no blanket answer; a handful of facts settle it. On Zapier, Interact offers exactly one trigger, it is instant on every plan, and the app is not premium. A plain two-step Zap fits the free plan with its 100 monthly tasks; anything with a filter or a second action needs a paid plan. If you only need new leads pushed to one tool, those facts are usually enough to decide. If you need to act inside Interact, compare what each platform lists for it before choosing.
