Le Sphinx Zapier integrationAutomate Le Sphinx with Zapier.
Le Sphinx Zapier integration: 4 triggers, 2 actions and 0 searches. Zapier can notice each completed survey and each email or phone number added to a blacklist, then pass it on. In the other direction, it can add a recipient to a campaign or record a response.

What the Le Sphinx Zapier integration actually does
The Le Sphinx Zapier integration connects survey software to the rest of your tools. Le Sphinx covers the whole survey cycle, from building the questionnaire to sending it, analysing the data and charting it. Zapier takes the moments that matter out of it, a finished survey or a new blacklist entry, and can also feed recipients and responses back in.
Three outcomes cover most uses. Answers that leave the survey tool: New Response With Answers passes each completed survey with its answers to another app, while New Response only signals that a survey was completed. A contact list that respects opt-outs: New Email Blacklisted and New Phone Number Blacklisted tell your other tools when someone lands on a blacklist. And a campaign or a project fed from elsewhere: Create a New Recipient adds a person to a campaign, Create a New Response records a response in a survey.
Now the limits. All four triggers are polling ones, so nothing is immediate and the wait depends on your plan. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up an existing recipient or response. Nothing deletes or edits either. And a Zap that starts on New Response and also creates a response can set itself off again and again.
To see how the plans compare before choosing, start with our Zapier review, then the Make vs Zapier comparison if Make is also on the table.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words carry the rest of the page. Each one is explained here once, then used as is.
- Zap
- The automation you build: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every single time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for it. Le Sphinx offers four.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like adding a recipient to a campaign.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task equals one action your Zap completes successfully; your plan counts those, nothing else.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked on a timer for new items. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and quietly stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Le Sphinx account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Le Sphinx step of every Zap you build.
What a Le Sphinx Zap really costs
Le Sphinx is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. Zapier bills in tasks, and only actions that go through are counted.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan Zap sizeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- Le Sphinx triggersAll 4 polling, checked on your plan's interval
The trigger never costs a task, and Zapier checking Le Sphinx for new responses costs nothing either, however often it looks. Each action that succeeds counts once, a failed one is not billed. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, limited to two steps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step (anything beyond one trigger and one action), which needs a paid plan. Since all four Le Sphinx triggers are polling ones, the grid below sets how often Zapier checks.
Connect Le Sphinx to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Le Sphinx account, plus access to any project or campaign you do not own yourself but want the Zap to use.
- 02
Pick Le Sphinx
Type Le Sphinx in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Le Sphinx side, where the actual sign-in takes place.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in to Le Sphinx in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection then shows up in your list, and every Le Sphinx step of every Zap reuses it.
Your first Le Sphinx Zap, step by step
GoalSend the answers of each completed Le Sphinx survey to another app, only when they meet a condition you choose.
- 01
Create the Zap
Create a new Zap, pick Le Sphinx as the app that starts it and choose New Response With Answers. Select your connection and the Project Id of the survey to watch.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent completed surveys of that project, so you map real answers instead of guessing their shape.
- 03
Add a filter
Click the plus icon, add Filter, open Configure & test and set the answer to look at, the rule and the value. Use a number rule on a score and a text rule on text.
- 04
Add the action
Add the app that should receive the answers and choose its action. Map the Le Sphinx answers from the trigger into it, then test the step.
- 05
Publish
Check what each test returned, then click Publish. With the filter, the Zap is multi-step and needs a paid plan; without it, the free plan is enough.
Le Sphinx triggers in Zapier
4 events start a Zap when something happens in Le Sphinx. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Email Blacklisted
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an email is added to a blacklist.”
Starts a Zap whenever an email address is added to a blacklist in Le Sphinx. Your other tools learn about it too, so a person who should no longer be contacted is not reached from somewhere else by mistake.
New Phone Number Blacklisted
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an phone number is added to a blacklist.”
The phone counterpart of New Email Blacklisted: it kicks off each time a phone number joins a blacklist in Le Sphinx. The Zap receives that number and can flag it in whichever tool also reaches people by phone.
New Response
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a survey is completed.”
Fires when someone completes a survey. It tells the Zap that a response came in, which is enough to count, notify or log completions without needing the content of each answer.
New Response With Answers
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a survey is completed. Answers are available.”
Also fires on a completed survey, but carries the answers with it. That is the trigger to pick when the next app needs what people actually said, to sort, store or follow up on each reply.
Le Sphinx actions in Zapier
Le Sphinx gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create a New Recipient
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new recipient to a given campaign”
Adds a person to a given Le Sphinx campaign, as a new recipient of that campaign. The contact comes from an earlier step, not from a manual entry.
Create a New Response
ActionIn Zapier“Adds a new response to a survey”
Records a response in a Le Sphinx survey from data collected somewhere else. The answers then sit alongside the others, ready for the same analysis.
When a Le Sphinx Zap breaks
Zapier links no help article to Le Sphinx and no limit specific to the app is documented. What breaks is what breaks on any Zap.
Four situations explain most surprises. None of them shows a red error on day one, which is why they are worth knowing before you publish. For anything deeper, our Zapier troubleshooting page is the place to start.
The past is never picked up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Responses and blacklist entries from before are ignored, so moving them is a separate job.A Zap that sets itself off
Start a Zap on New Response and record a response in the same project, and each new one fires it again, burning through your task count fast.A big batch gets held back
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of running everything.The same response never runs twice
On polling triggers like these, Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so the same response or blacklist entry does not start the Zap twice.
