What the Krozu Zapier integration is for
Krozu organises work as a hierarchy of groups, boards, lists and cards, with checklists, dates and team messaging on top. Zapier connects it to your other apps without code: an event in one tool, a follow-up done for you in another. With Krozu, almost every object on a board can be watched, created, moved, dated or archived from outside.
Three results come up first. Intake that lands on the right board: an item arrives in another app, and Create New Card files it in the intake list of the right board. Stages that trigger the next job: New Card Created or Moved Into List notices a card reaching a given list, and the next step runs in another tool. Projects that stay dated: Board Due Date, Card Due Date and the estimated-hours actions keep Krozu in step with deadlines and budgets agreed elsewhere.
Know the limits before building. All fifteen triggers are polling, so nothing reacts the instant it happens: Zapier checks on a timer set by your plan. Several triggers follow one board, one list, one card or one checklist, so a large workspace can need many Zaps. There is a single search, and no find-or-create, so a Zap cannot create a missing board on the fly. Dates are expected in UTC, which catches out anyone outside that time zone.

Zapier words, explained once
The same seven terms run through the whole page. Here they are in everyday language.
- Zap
- An automation on Zapier: a trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event takes place.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap, such as a card reaching a list. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for exactly that.
- Action
- The work the Zap does after starting: creating, moving, dating or archiving something in an app for you.
- Task
- What Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The monthly allowance of your plan counts these.
- Polling vs instant
- Polling means Zapier checks the app on a timer. Instant means the app tells Zapier the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when the data meets your condition, and quietly stops it the rest of the time.
- Search step
- A step that finds something already in an app, such as a board, so later steps can use it without you picking it by hand.
What a Krozu Zap costs
Krozu is not a premium app, so the free Zapier plan is enough to start. What you pay for is completed actions.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Premium appNo
- Krozu triggers15, all polling
- BilledEach successful action
Triggers are free, and so are the checks Zapier makes to spot new Krozu items, however often they run. Every action that succeeds counts as one task, and a failed action is not counted. A Zap that creates a card, sets a due date and assigns someone uses three tasks per run. The free plan includes 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two steps per Zap. A filter, the search or a second action makes it a multi-step Zap that needs a paid plan.
Connect Krozu to Zapier
- 01
Go to Apps
In Zapier, open the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A connection is your Krozu account linked once, then reused by every Krozu step in every Zap you build.
- 02
Find Krozu
Type Krozu in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. Zapier opens a new tab on the Krozu side. You need a Krozu account already in place before you start.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in to Krozu in that tab and grant Zapier access. Boards you do not own must be shared with this account with the rights your Zaps need, read for triggers and write for actions.
Build your first Krozu Zap
GoalComment on every card that reaches a chosen list and passes your filter.
- 01
Start with the trigger
Create a Zap, pick Krozu and the event New Card Created or Moved Into List, then choose the Krozu connection you created earlier.
- 02
Choose the list
Select the list to watch; it is required. Test the trigger: Zapier brings back the three most recent cards from that list so you map fields from a real one.
- 03
Add a filter
Click the plus icon and add Filter. Set the field to look at, the rule and the value to compare with. A text rule only works on text values.
- 04
Add the comment
Add a Krozu step with Add Comment, map the card from the trigger and write the comment text. Both the card and the comment are required.
- 05
Test and publish
Run the test, check the comment in Krozu, then click Publish. With its filter this is a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan to run.
Krozu triggers on Zapier
15 events start a Zap when something happens in Krozu. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
Board Changed
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when any change on a Board happens.”
Watches one Krozu board as a whole and starts the Zap whenever something on it changes. It is the broadest net in the list, useful when you care that a project moved at all, not about which card moved.
Card Changed
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a Card changes.”
Keeps an eye on a single card and reacts when it is edited. Think of it as a tripwire on one deliverable that matters more than the rest.
List Changed
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a List has changed.”
Reacts when a list you select has changed, which in Krozu usually means cards arriving, leaving or being reordered in that column of work.
New Accessible Board
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Board is now accessible by you within your account.”
Fires when a board becomes reachable from your own Krozu account, whether someone created it or just shared it with you. No board needs to be picked.
New List Created in a Board
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new List is created within the specified Board.”
Starts the Zap as soon as a new list appears inside the board you choose. Lists are the columns of a Krozu board, so this catches a new stage or phase being added.
New Board Member
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Board Member is Added.”
Picks up each person added to a chosen board. It turns "someone joined the project" into a signal your other tools can act on.
New Board Message Added
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a New Board Message is Added.”
Catches every new message posted in the messaging area of a selected board, with its text, so conversations do not stay trapped inside Krozu.
New Card Comment Added
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Card Comment is created.”
Runs each time a comment is written on the card you picked. Handy when one card carries the discussion that other people outside Krozu must follow.
New Card Created in Board
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new card is created within a specified board.”
Kicks in when a card is created anywhere inside a given board. It is the closest thing to a "new task" trigger for a whole Krozu project.
New Card Tag Created
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Tag has been added to a Card.”
Notices when a tag is added to the card you chose. A tag is a cheap way for people to flag something without leaving Krozu.
New Checklist Added to a Card
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Checklist is Created within a Card.”
Starts when a checklist is created inside a selected card. It tells other tools that a piece of work has just been broken into steps.
New Checklist Item Added to a Checklist
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Checklist Item is Added to an existing Checklist.”
Goes one level deeper than the previous trigger: it reacts to each new line added to a checklist you choose.
New Invites
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when you receive a new Invite.”
Fires when your connected Krozu account receives a new invite. Nothing to configure: it simply watches your own invitations.
New Card Created or Moved Into List
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Card is created within or moved into the specified List.”
Springs into action when a card shows up in a chosen list, whether someone created it there or dragged it in from another column. That makes it the go-to trigger for "card reached stage X".
New Notifications
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when you receive a new Notification.”
Collects every notification that Krozu sends to the connected account, so you can route those alerts wherever you actually read them.
Krozu actions on Zapier
Krozu gives you 46 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Add Checklist
ActionIn Zapier“Create a Checklist”
Creates a named checklist inside an existing card, so a recurring set of checks gets attached without manual work.
Create a Checklist Item
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a Checklist Item”
Appends one line to a checklist that already exists on a card. The checklist grows step by step as events happen elsewhere.
Add Comment
ActionIn Zapier“Add a Comment to Card”
Writes a comment on a chosen card, which keeps outside updates visible where the team works.
Create a List
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new List”
Opens a new list, in other words a new column, on a chosen board.
Add Message
ActionIn Zapier“Add a new Message”
Posts a message into the messaging area of a board, the place where the whole project team reads updates.
Adjust List Weighting
ActionIn Zapier“Manually adjusts a Lists weighting. Manual List Weighting must be enabled.”
Sets the low and high share any card in a list may add to the board progress.
Archive Board
ActionIn Zapier“Archives a Board”
Sends a whole board to the archive, out of daily view. It is the gentle way to close a project: the board is not deleted, and Unarchive Board can bring it back later.
Archive Card
ActionIn Zapier“Archives a Card”
Archives a single card. The card leaves the board but keeps all its history. Restoring it later is one action away.
Archive List
ActionIn Zapier“Archives a List”
Archives a full list with its column. The cards inside go with it, still intact, and the board looks cleaner for everyone who opens it.
Add Board Member
ActionIn Zapier“Assigns someone to a Board”
Gives someone a role on a board using their email address.
Add Card Assignee
ActionIn Zapier“Assign someone to a Card”
Makes a person responsible for a card, identified by email. The card then shows up in that person's own Krozu view.
Board Due Date
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the Due Date for a Board”
Fixes the due date of a board, the deadline the project is measured against. It is the date that the notify-hours action counts back from, so set it before any reminder.
Board End Date
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the End Date for a Board”
Records the date a board actually finishes, distinct from the due date. Keeping it separate lets you compare planned and real finish dates later.
Board Estimated Hours
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the estimated hours for completion of a Board”
Writes the number of hours a board is expected to take. It gives the project a budget in time that progress can be read against.
Board Due Date Notify Hours
ActionIn Zapier“Set hours previous to the due date of this Board to the project manager of this board. Decimals are allowed.”
Tells Krozu how many hours before the board due date to warn its project manager.
Board Start Date
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the Start Date for a Board”
Sets when a board begins. It anchors the project timeline that the other date actions build on, so it is usually the first date a Zap writes.
Card Due Date
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the Due Date for a Card”
Sets the deadline of a card. It is the deadline the assignee sees, and the date reminders count back from.
Card Due Date Notify Hours
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the number of hours before a Due Date for this card to send a notification to the assignee”
Decides how many hours before its due date the assignee of a card is notified. It is a reminder setting, not a message: Krozu sends the alert itself.
Card End Date
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the End Date for a Card”
Stores the date a card was actually finished. It keeps the real finish apart from the planned one, which is what makes delivery reports honest.
Card Progress
ActionIn Zapier“Sets Card Progress”
Updates how far along a card is. It is the figure people glance at on the board to see where a card stands, so keeping it fed from the real source saves questions.
Card Start Date
ActionIn Zapier“Sets the Start Date for a Card”
Marks when work on a card starts. It places the card on the timeline, which helps when cards are created long before the work begins.
Check a Checklist Item
ActionIn Zapier“Puts a checkmark in this Checklist Item”
Ticks an item on a checklist for you. The step then shows as done for everyone on the card, with no one having to open Krozu to tick it.
Create New Card
ActionIn Zapier“Create a new card in the board and list provided”
Adds a card to the board and list you point it at, using a name mapped from the trigger. It is the workhorse action of most Krozu Zaps.
Delete a Card
ActionIn Zapier“Delete a card (confirmation required)”
Removes a card for good, not to the archive. Unlike archiving, there is no way back from it.
Delete Checklist
ActionIn Zapier“Deletes a Checklist”
Erases a checklist and its items. Every item inside goes with it, ticked or not, and the card simply no longer shows that checklist.
Delete Checklist Item
ActionIn Zapier“Deletes a Checklist Item”
Removes one line from a checklist. The rest of the checklist stays as it was, so it suits precise clean-ups.
Delete List
ActionIn Zapier“Deletes an existing List”
Deletes an existing list. It is final, unlike Archive List. Choose it only when you are sure.
Card Estimated Hours
ActionIn Zapier“Set the estimated hours for a Card”
Puts an estimate, in hours, on a single card. Card estimates roll up into the picture you get of the whole board.
Limit Cards in List
ActionIn Zapier“Limits the number of Cards that can be contained in this List”
Caps how many cards a list may hold, a classic way to stop a column from overflowing. Once the cap is reached, the list stops taking new cards.
Move Card
ActionIn Zapier“Moves a Card from its original position”
Shifts a card from one list to another, at the position you set, which is how a Zap advances work through your stages.
Recurse a Card/Board
ActionIn Zapier“Recurse a Card into a Board or Board into a Card”
Turns a card into a board of its own, or folds a board back into a card. This is the hierarchical side of Krozu.
Rename Board
ActionIn Zapier“Renames a Board”
Gives a board a new name. Members, lists and cards stay exactly where they were, only the label at the top changes, which is what you want for references.
Rename Card
ActionIn Zapier“Renames an existing Card”
Changes the title of a card. The card keeps its comments, dates and assignee, so this is a safe way to surface a state in the title.
Rename Checklist
ActionIn Zapier“Renames a Checklist”
Changes the name of an existing checklist. The items inside stay untouched, so ticks and order survive the rename.
Rename Checklist Item
ActionIn Zapier“Renames a Checklist Item”
Rewrites the label of one checklist item. Whether the item is ticked or not does not change.
Rename Group
ActionIn Zapier“Renames a Group”
Gives a Krozu group a new name. Groups sit above boards in the Krozu hierarchy, so a rename here shows across everything filed under that group.
Rename List
ActionIn Zapier“Renames an existing List”
Renames one list on a board. Cards stay in place, only the column header changes, so nobody loses track of their work.
Toggle List Testers
ActionIn Zapier“Toggles the ability for Testers to add Cards to this List”
Turns on or off the ability for testers to add cards to a list. Testers are a role in Krozu with narrower rights.
Toggle List Time Tracking
ActionIn Zapier“Toggles the ability for Cards placed in this List to track time.”
Flips time tracking on or off for cards placed in a list. Time tracking lets cards in that list log the time spent on them, card by card.
Toggle List Weighting
ActionIn Zapier“Toggles Smart Progress or Manual List Weighting”
Switches a list between Smart Progress and manual weighting. Weighting decides how much each list counts in the board progress.
Unarchive Board
ActionIn Zapier“Unarchives a Board”
Brings an archived board back into view. It is the reverse of Archive Board, so a project closed a little too early is never lost for good.
Unarchive Card
ActionIn Zapier“Unarchives a Card”
Brings back a card that was archived, the reverse of Archive Card. The card returns to view so the work on it can pick up again.
Unarchive List
ActionIn Zapier“Unarchives a List”
Puts an archived list back on its board, the reverse of Archive List, so a phase hidden too early becomes visible again.
Remove Board Member
ActionIn Zapier“Removes a Member from a Board”
Takes a member off a board for a given role, the mirror of Add Board Member.
Remove Card Assignee
ActionIn Zapier“Removes the Assignee from the Card”
Clears a named assignee from a card. Nothing else on the card changes, only the name of the person in charge, so comments and dates stay as they were.
Uncheck Checklist Item
ActionIn Zapier“Removes the checkmark from a Checklist Item”
Removes the tick from a checklist item, reopening that step. It is the undo of the previous action, useful when an outside event cancels a step that was marked as done.
The Krozu search on Zapier
1 search step looks for data that already exists in Krozu, so a later step can use it.
A search step finds something that already exists in Krozu and passes it on. It sits at the bottom of the Action event list, under SEARCH, and makes the Zap multi-step. Krozu offers no find-or-create, so the search never creates what it misses.
Find User Accessible Boards
SearchIn Zapier“Provides a list of all User Accessible Boards”
Looks up the boards the connected user can reach and hands one to the following steps.
The three settings every search exposes
- Successful if no search results are found?Left on default, an empty search stops the Zap and skips the steps that relied on it. Turned on, the Zap carries on with nothing.
- Create X if it doesn't exist yet?This box turns a search into a find-or-create. Krozu does not offer it, so it will not appear here.
- If multiple search results are found?Three choices when several boards match: keep the first one (the default), stop the Zap, or pass all of them on.
When a Krozu Zap breaks
Zapier lists no help article for Krozu, so these are the general limits that bite Krozu Zaps hardest.
Broken Krozu Zaps mostly come from the way Zapier works rather than from Krozu: the wait between checks, the missing history, loops between a trigger and an action on the same card or board. See also our Zapier troubleshooting page.
Existing cards are ignored
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Cards, lists and messages already in Krozu are not picked up; moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that keeps firing itself
Adding a comment to the card a comment trigger watches, or a message to the board a message trigger watches, restarts the Zap in a loop and burns tasks.Big imports get held back
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection may hold it back instead of running everything.Changes show up late
Every Krozu trigger is polling. On the free plan Zapier checks every 15 minutes, so a moved card can wait that long before anything happens.
