Overview

What the LeadExec Zapier integration is for

LeadExec centralizes lead distribution: leads come in from several sources and are routed from one place. With Zapier, you build a Zap (an automation that waits for one event, then runs steps in other apps) to feed LeadExec from your forms and to tell other tools when a lead arrives.

Two operations, three common results. Every source feeding one hub: a form or landing page tool sends its entries to Create Lead, assigned to the right campaign and lead source. Instant alerts: New Lead pings your team chat the moment a campaign receives a lead, with no timer in between. A clean log: the same trigger writes each lead into a spreadsheet for reporting outside LeadExec.

The trigger is instant: LeadExec tells Zapier the moment a lead arrives, so even the free plan reacts at once.

Know what is not there. The Zapier integration exposes only these two operations: no search to find an existing lead, no update, no delete. A Zap can receive a lead or create one, and that is all it can do here. Everything else in LeadExec stays outside your Zaps, so plan those parts of the process by hand or in another tool. If your workflow needs more, the n8n vs Zapier and Make vs Zapier comparisons help you check other tools.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Seven terms come back on this page. Here they are in plain words.

Zap
The automation you build on 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. Once the Zap is on, Zapier simply waits for that event.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something on your behalf.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completed successfully, and your plan counts those.
Instant vs polling
An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment it happens. A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it quietly otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a LeadExec Zap really costs

Zapier bills tasks, and only a successful action produces one. LeadExec is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan.

  • Trigger0 tasks, every time
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • LeadExec premium?No, available on the free plan

New Lead never costs a task, however many leads arrive. Each lead Create Lead writes successfully costs one; a failed attempt is not billed. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps, one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns polling triggers; New Lead is instant, so it does not apply to it, but it can apply to the trigger of another app that feeds Create Lead.

Connect

Connect LeadExec to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A connection is your LeadExec account linked once, then reused by every Zap that touches it. You need a LeadExec account first.

  2. 02

    Pick LeadExec

    Type LeadExec in the dialog's search box, select it, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the LeadExec side, which is where the actual sign-in happens.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to LeadExec in that tab and allow Zapier to reach the account. If the Zap will use campaigns or lead sources you do not manage yourself, check that your account has access to them first.

First Zap

Your first LeadExec Zap

GoalAlert your team the moment a campaign receives a lead, but only for leads that meet your condition.

  1. 01

    Set the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose LeadExec as the app and New Lead as the event, then your connection. Pick the Lead Source and the Campaign to watch; both are required.

  2. 02

    Test on real leads

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of that campaign, so you set up the next steps on a real lead instead of placeholder data.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon, pick Filter, then fill the three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, and the value to compare with. Use a text rule on text, a number rule on numbers.

  4. 04

    Add the message

    Add your team chat as the action and map the lead's details into the message. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Test and publish

    Test each step and read what came back, then publish to switch the Zap on. Leads received before that moment are not picked up.

Triggers

LeadExec triggers on Zapier

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in LeadExec, 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 has been received.”

Starts your Zap each time LeadExec receives a lead for the campaign and lead source you chose. It is the only event LeadExec sends to Zapier, so every outbound workflow begins here.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
alerting the team that owns a campaign, or copying each new lead into a reporting sheet the moment it arrives.
Watch out
Lead Source and Campaign are required, so one Zap watches one pair; several campaigns mean several Zaps.
Actions

LeadExec actions on Zapier

LeadExec gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Lead

Action

In Zapier“Create a new lead inside of LeadExec.”

Adds a new lead to LeadExec from any other app and assigns it to the campaign you name, so distribution starts as soon as the lead exists.

When to use it
a form, an ad tool or a landing page collects contacts that should go through LeadExec routing.
Watch out
Lead Source and Campaign are required; in a Zap started by New Lead, pointing it at the same campaign creates a loop.
When it breaks

When a LeadExec Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to LeadExec and documents no limit of its own. What breaks here is what breaks on any Zap, plus one loop this pair of operations makes easy.

Read these four cases before you publish. If a Zap already misbehaves, the Zapier troubleshooting guide takes you through the checks in order.

  • Old leads are never replayed

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Leads LeadExec received before that stay where they are; moving that backlog is a separate job.
  • The campaign loop

    A Zap that starts on New Lead and ends with Create Lead on the same campaign and source creates a lead that starts it again, burning tasks until you stop it.
  • Bulk imports get held back

    Push a large batch of leads at once and the trigger suddenly reports a huge pile. Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back instead of firing them all.
  • No double leads from a polling source

    When the app feeding Create Lead uses a polling trigger, Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so the same entry does not create two leads in LeadExec.

FAQ

LeadExec Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the LeadExec Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free plan, because LeadExec is not a premium app. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps: one trigger and one action. Logging each new lead in a spreadsheet, or sending form entries to Create Lead, fits. A filter or a second action turns the Zap into a multi-step one, which needs a paid plan. Plan terms change, so check your own Zapier account before you rely on these figures.
02How many tasks does a LeadExec Zap use?
One task per successful action. New Lead itself is free, however many leads come in. A Zap that writes each new lead to a spreadsheet costs one task per lead; a Zap that sends form entries to Create Lead costs one per lead created. Failed actions are not counted. If you add a second action, each lead costs two. The figure to watch is your monthly lead volume per campaign, since every lead is one more run, and the free plan stops at 100 tasks.
03Does the LeadExec trigger work in real time?
Yes. New Lead is an instant trigger: LeadExec tells Zapier the moment a lead reaches the campaign you chose, and the Zap starts right away. The polling interval of each plan, 15 minutes on the free one, does not apply. In the editor, an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. For Create Lead, speed depends on the app that feeds it: if that app's trigger polls, the lead waits for Zapier's next check before reaching LeadExec.
04What does it take to connect LeadExec to Zapier?
A LeadExec account, a Zapier account, and at least one campaign and lead source set up in LeadExec. Open the Apps page in Zapier, click + Add connection, search for LeadExec, click Add connection and sign in on the tab that opens. Grant access and the connection is saved for every future Zap. Both operations ask for a Lead Source and a Campaign, so without them there is nothing to pick. Check you have access to the campaigns you plan to use.
05Can one LeadExec Zap cover several campaigns?
Not with the trigger as it stands. New Lead requires one Lead Source and one Campaign, so each Zap watches a single pair. If you run several campaigns, build one Zap per campaign, or per source and campaign combination, and name them clearly so you can find them later. The same applies to Create Lead: each run assigns the lead to the campaign set in the step, so different campaigns need different Zaps or a value mapped from the trigger.
06What if the LeadExec operation you want is missing?
Then Zapier cannot do it today. The integration exposes only New Lead and Create Lead: no search, no update, no delete. The usual workaround is to let New Lead feed another tool, such as a CRM or a spreadsheet, that handles the rest of the process, and do the missing steps there. Anything else stays inside LeadExec itself. If your workflow truly depends on a move that is not offered, compare other automation platforms before you build anything around it.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for LeadExec?
Compare on criteria, not on a verdict. Zapier gives you an instant New Lead trigger and a ready Create Lead action in a simple editor, which suits a team that wants leads flowing quickly without technical help. Make and n8n are the usual alternatives; check whether each one offers LeadExec operations, and which, before planning around it. The deciding points are the operations available, how each tool bills a run, your lead volume and who will maintain the workflows.
