LeadCars Zapier integrationAutomate LeadCars with Zapier.
The LeadCars Zapier integration gives you 4 triggers, 1 action and 0 searches. Enough to react when a lead comes in, sells or gives GDPR consent, and to push new leads into LeadCars from your other tools. Here is what each piece does and costs.

What the LeadCars Zapier integration does
LeadCars is a lead management app built for the automotive trade, used in Spain and Portugal. The Zapier integration links it to the rest of your tools: LeadCars can start an automation when something happens to a lead, and other apps can create leads in LeadCars without anyone retyping them.
Three results you can build. First, a sales log that keeps itself: Lead Sold fires when a lead moves to the "Vendido" status, and the Zap writes it wherever you track closed deals. Second, a clean consent list: Contacts RGPD picks up contacts whose GDPR consent was validated, so only those reach your other tool. Third, a lead intake from outside: Create New Lead adds a lead to LeadCars, with its lead type and dealer, each time another app collects one.
The most flexible of the four triggers is New Action: you choose which LeadCars event it listens to, so one trigger covers events the others do not.
What Zapier does not do here: there is no search, so a Zap cannot look up an existing LeadCars lead before creating one, and the only action creates leads. Nothing updates or deletes a lead from Zapier. All four triggers work by polling, so nothing is instant. Before you commit, see our Zapier review and our Make vs Zapier comparison.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words come back all over this page. Here they are once, in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it. LeadCars offers four of them.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you. Create New Lead is one.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. The number on your plan is a count of those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked on a timer for new items. An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment it happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your account on an app, linked to Zapier once and then reused by every step that touches that app.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What it really costs
LeadCars is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. You pay in tasks, and only actions spend them.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
- Triggers4, all polling, never billed
- What spends a taskEach action that succeeds
The four LeadCars triggers never cost a task, however often Zapier checks them. Each action that succeeds counts as one task, including Create New Lead; one that fails is not counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and it becomes a multi-step Zap that needs a paid plan. Since every LeadCars trigger works by polling, your plan also sets how quickly a Zap reacts, as the grid below shows.
Connect LeadCars to Zapier in 3 steps
- 01
Open your connections
In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. In the dialog, search for LeadCars by name and pick it from the list of apps shown.
- 02
Sign in to LeadCars
Click Add connection. A tab opens on LeadCars: sign in with the account whose leads the Zap should read or create. You need an account on the app, plus access to any dealer data you do not own yourself.
- 03
Grant access
Allow Zapier to reach the account. The connection then appears on the Apps page, and every LeadCars step in your Zaps reuses it, so you do this once per account.
Your first LeadCars Zap
GoalEvery lead that moves to the sold status in LeadCars and passes a filter is added to your spreadsheet.
- 01
Pick the trigger
Create a Zap, choose LeadCars as the starting app and Lead Sold as the event, then select the LeadCars connection you made earlier.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent sold leads from the account, so you map fields on a real sold lead rather than on an empty sample.
- 03
Add the filter
From the plus icon, add a Filter step and set its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value to compare with. The Zap becomes multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add the action
Add the action of your spreadsheet tool, pick its connection, then map each field of the sold lead into the matching column of the new row.
- 05
Test, then publish
Run each step once and read what came back before moving on. When the row looks right, click Publish to switch the Zap on.
LeadCars triggers on Zapier
4 events start a Zap when something happens in LeadCars. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
Contacts RGPD
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Contacts with RGPD validated to LeadCars”
Picks up contacts in LeadCars whose GDPR consent (RGPD in Spanish) has been validated, and hands each one to the next steps. It is the trigger to use when only consenting contacts may travel to another tool.
New Action
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an action in LeadCars is executed. This zap is the most flexible option to trigger actions. Dispara una acción de Zapier cuando se ejecuta uno de los eventos disponibles en LeadCars (revisa las opciones disponibles).”
Fires when a chosen event is carried out in LeadCars. You pick which event in the step, which makes this the most open of the four triggers: one Zap per event you care about, without waiting for a dedicated trigger.
New Lead
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new lead is created in LeadCars. Dispara una acción de Zapier cuando se genera un nuevo lead en LeadCars.”
Starts the Zap whenever a new lead appears in LeadCars, whatever its source, and carries its details into the following steps so you can copy it, notify someone or log it elsewhere.
Lead Sold
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a lead status is set to "Vendido" (sold). Se ejecuta la acción al pasar un lead al estado "Vendido".”
Reacts when a lead's status is switched to "Vendido", the sold status in LeadCars, and passes that closed lead on. It is the cleanest way to mark the end of a sale in another tool.
The LeadCars action on Zapier
LeadCars gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create New Lead
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new lead in LeadCars' associated account. Crea un nuevo lead en la cuenta de LeadCars a la que se asocie esta integración.”
Adds a lead to the LeadCars account tied to your connection, filled with values from the earlier steps, so a contact captured elsewhere lands straight in LeadCars, with no retyping.
When it breaks
Zapier ties no help article to LeadCars and no rate limit specific to the app is documented. What breaks here is what breaks on any Zap, with one loop that LeadCars makes easy.
Four situations explain most surprises, and none shows a clear error. Know them before you publish. If a Zap still misbehaves, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
No catch-up on past leads
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Leads, sales or consents recorded before that are never picked up; moving the backlog is a separate job.New Lead plus Create New Lead
A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches fires again and again. Creating LeadCars leads from New Lead does exactly that and burns tasks fast.A sudden batch held back
After a bulk import or a migration, a trigger can suddenly return a huge batch, and Zapier's flood protection may hold those items back.No duplicates on polling
On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same lead does not start the Zap twice between two checks.
