What the Law Dash Zapier integration does for a law firm
The Law Dash Zapier integration plugs Law Dash, a lead-tracking dashboard built for law firms, into a Zap: the automation you build on Zapier, one trigger followed by one or more actions. It works in both directions. A new lead in Law Dash can start a Zap, and a Zap started elsewhere can add a lead to Law Dash.
Three results you can get from it. Leads that land on their own: a website form starts the Zap and Add New Lead to LawDash files the person in the dashboard, with first name, last name, phone, email and the source. Leads that travel out: New Lead starts a Zap that passes each fresh lead to another tool the firm uses. A sorted intake: a filter between the form and the action keeps only the entries that meet your condition, so nothing irrelevant reaches Law Dash; with that filter the Zap is multi-step and needs a paid plan.
What Zapier does not do here: it cannot update or delete a lead, because the only action creates one, and it cannot look a lead up, because there is no search. It never brings in leads that existed before the Zap was switched on. New Lead is a polling trigger, so a lead waits for the next check rather than arriving the second it is added.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Six words, and the rest of the page reads easily.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier. One trigger starts it, then one or more actions run every time that trigger fires.
- Trigger
- The event that starts a Zap, such as New Lead in Law Dash. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for it.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like adding a lead.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completed successfully. Your plan's monthly allowance is a count of those.
- Polling vs instant
- Polling: Zapier asks the app for new items on a timer. Instant: the app tells Zapier itself. New Lead works by polling.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
What it really costs
New Lead never costs a task, and neither do Zapier's checks on Law Dash, however frequent. Each Add New Lead to LawDash that goes through is billed as one task.
- New Lead triggerNo task
- Add New Lead to LawDash, successfulCounted as a task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Premium appNo
In a Zap with several actions, each successful one counts on its own, so three actions use three times what one does. An action that fails is not counted, and a few apps and actions take more than one task. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and two-step Zaps only: a filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Law Dash is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan.
Connect your Law Dash account in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
Sign in to Zapier and go to the Apps page of your account. Connections live there: an account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that needs it. You need an existing Law Dash account.
- 02
Find Law Dash
Click + Add connection, type Law Dash in the search box of the dialog and select it. Then click Add connection to open the Law Dash sign-in in a new tab.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Sign in to Law Dash in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access to the account. If the leads you want the Zap to touch are not yours, make sure your account can read and write them first.
Your first Zap: new Law Dash leads to another tool
GoalPass each new Law Dash lead that meets your condition to another tool the firm uses.
- 01
Start from New Lead
In the editor, pick Law Dash as the app that starts the Zap and New Lead as the event, then select the connection you just added.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of the connected account, so the next steps are mapped on a real one.
- 03
Add the filter
Use the plus icon under the trigger and add a Filter: the field to check, the rule, the value. A text rule only works on text and a number rule on numbers.
- 04
Add the action
Add the step in the other tool that should receive the lead and map the Law Dash details into it. Test it once and read what came back before going further.
- 05
Publish
Publish the Zap to switch it on. It reacts only to leads added from then on, and with a filter on board it needs a paid plan.
The Law Dash trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Law Dash. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Lead
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new lead is added to LawDash.”
Every lead that gets added to Law Dash starts your Zap, and its details become available to the steps that follow.
The Law Dash action
Law Dash gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add New Lead to LawDash
ActionIn Zapier“Adds New Lead to LawDash App”
Creates a lead in Law Dash from whatever the earlier steps of the Zap collected.
When it breaks
Zapier links no help article to Law Dash and records no limit of its own.
The cases below come from how Zapier works with any app, and one of them is specific to the way Law Dash pairs its trigger and its action. For other cases, see Zapier troubleshooting.
The Zap that feeds itself
New Lead watches the very place Add New Lead to LawDash writes to. Put both in one Zap and every lead it adds sets it off again, burning through tasks fast.No backfill of old leads
A Zap only reacts to leads added after it is switched on. Leads already in Law Dash are never picked up; moving them is a separate job.Bulk imports held back
After a bulk import or a migration, New Lead can suddenly return a huge batch, and Zapier's flood protection may hold it back instead of running it all.No duplicate runs
Zapier keeps track of the leads it has already seen on this polling trigger, so the same lead never starts the Zap twice.
