Overview

What the Learnyst Zapier integration does for a test-prep business

Learnyst lets you build and sell courses and mock tests from your own branded website and mobile apps, with no technical setup. Through Zapier, nine Learnyst events can start automations in your other tools, and two Learnyst actions can register a learner or open a paid product from events that happen elsewhere.

Think of a school that sells mock tests. Three results come out of it with no copy and paste. First, scores in one place: Test Submit fires on every submitted test and the details land in the spreadsheet your tutors read. Second, buyers recorded on the spot: Purchase starts a Zap the moment a learner buys a product. Third, access opened from outside: a sale recorded in another tool runs Paid Enrollment, which gives an existing learner paid access to the product you name. None of the three needs a filter, so each fits the free plan.

Now what Zapier does not do here. There are only two actions: you cannot update a learner, remove access or create a product from a Zap. There is no search step either, so a Zap cannot check whether a learner already exists before acting. And nothing that happened before your Zap went live is picked up.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Six words come back all over this page. Here they are in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier sits and waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that creates, 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 trigger
An instant trigger is reported by the app as soon as it happens. A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Cost

What a Learnyst Zap really costs

Learnyst is not a premium app on Zapier, so it works from the free plan.

  • Premium appNo
  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Free plan Zap sizeTrigger + 1 action

The trigger never costs a task, and neither does waiting for the next test. Each action that succeeds counts as one task; one that fails counts nothing. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two-step Zaps: one trigger, one action. A second action or a filter turns it into a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns polling triggers only: all nine Learnyst triggers are instant.

Connect

Connect Learnyst to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In your Zapier account, go to the Apps page and click + Add connection. Check first that you have a Learnyst account with access to the learners and products the Zap will touch.

  2. 02

    Pick Learnyst

    Type Learnyst in the search box of the dialog, select it from the results, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the Learnyst side, ready for you to sign in.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Learnyst in that tab and allow Zapier to use the account. The connection is saved once, then reused by every Learnyst step in every Zap you build.

First Zap

Your first Zap: log the results of one mock test

GoalEach time a learner submits a test on Learnyst, add a row to your results spreadsheet, but only for the mock test you choose.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    In Zapier, start a new Zap. You build it top to bottom: the app and event that start it, then what follows, then you map the fields between the steps.

  2. 02

    Set the trigger

    Pick Learnyst and Test Submit, then your connection. It is an instant trigger, so the editor shows a lightning bolt next to it.

  3. 03

    Test it on a real submission

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items from your account: pick one and read what came back before building the rest.

  4. 04

    Add the filter

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

  5. 05

    Add the spreadsheet row

    Add your spreadsheet app and its new row action, map the learner and test fields from the trigger, then test the step and check the row it created.

  6. 06

    Publish

    Click Publish to switch the Zap on. The filter makes it a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan; drop the filter to stay on the free one.

Triggers

The 9 Learnyst triggers

9 events start a Zap when something happens in Learnyst, and 9 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Custom Fields

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when learner fills up custom field form.”

Starts the Zap when a learner fills in your custom field form on Learnyst. Whatever extra questions you ask beyond the basics arrive in Zapier, ready to be stored or acted on.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when the answers to your extra questions should reach a spreadsheet your team reads.
Watch out
it only covers that form; the basic sign-up has its own trigger.
2

Initiate Transaction

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when the learner initiates the transaction.”

Fires when a learner starts a transaction, before anything says the payment went through. It catches buying intent at the very first step of the checkout.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to spot people who started to buy a test series, so you can compare them later with actual purchases.
Watch out
a started transaction is not a sale; build paid access on Purchase, never on this one.
3

Lesson Completed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when learner completes the lesson.”

Each lesson a learner finishes sends one run to Zapier. It is the finest signal of progress the integration offers, one step below a whole course.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to track how far learners get in a course from a spreadsheet, without opening the Learnyst dashboard.
Watch out
a long course means many lessons, so every lesson multiplies the runs and the tasks of the actions behind it.
4

Mobile OTP Verification

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a learner verifies the mobile with OTP for the first time.”

Goes off when a learner confirms their mobile number for the first time with a one-time code. From that point on, you know the number is real.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when only learners with a checked phone number should move into your follow-up list.
Watch out
it runs on the first verification only, so a learner who verifies again later does not start the Zap twice.
5

Profile Updated

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when learner updates their profile.”

Notices when a learner edits their own profile on your Learnyst platform. Every change counts, so small corrections show up as well as real updates.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to keep a contact record in another tool matched with what the learner typed most recently.
Watch out
it reacts to changes made by the learner; there is no Learnyst action to push edits back the other way.
6

Purchase

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when learner purchases a product.”

A learner buys a product, and the Zap kicks off. For anything tied to revenue, from a sales log to a thank-you message, this is the clean starting point.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to add each buyer of a mock test series to your sales spreadsheet as soon as they pay.
Watch out
purchases made before the Zap was published are never sent, so bringing in past buyers is a separate job.
7

Sign Up

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new learner signs up to your learnyst platform.”

Every new learner who signs up to your Learnyst platform starts a run. It is the entry point for any welcome flow you want outside Learnyst.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to add every new learner to your email tool with a tag that says where they came from.
Watch out
a Zap that also runs the Sign Up action on the same platform is the classic setting for a loop.
8

Test Submit

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when learner submits a test.”

Runs each time a learner hands in a test. For a business built on mock tests, this is the trigger that turns attempts into data you can actually read.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to collect every submission in a results sheet that tutors check, test by test.
Watch out
all tests reach this trigger, so add a filter if only one test series matters for this Zap.
9

Trial Enrolment

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when learner enrolls in a product.”

A learner enrolling in a product sets this one off, under the trial label shown in the editor. It marks the moment someone starts trying a course or test series.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
to start a follow-up that nudges trial learners toward the paid version of what they opened.
Watch out
the official description only says the learner enrolled in a product, so test it once to see which enrollments really arrive.
Actions

The 2 Learnyst actions

Learnyst gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Paid Enrollment

Action

In Zapier“This action will give paid access to an existing student to a product.”

Gives an existing learner paid access to a product. You pass their email and type the product title, and Learnyst opens that product for them.

When to use it
after a payment taken outside Learnyst, to unlock the test series the learner paid for.
Watch out
the learner must already exist; for a brand new buyer, run Sign Up first, in a multi-step Zap.
2

Sign Up

Action

In Zapier“This action will register a learner to your learnyst platform.”

Registers a new learner on your Learnyst platform from an email address, the only required field. The account then exists for any later step that needs it.

When to use it
when buyers or leads collected in another tool should get a Learnyst account straight away.
Watch out
pair it with the Sign Up trigger on the same platform and the Zap can set itself off again.
When it breaks

When a Learnyst Zap breaks

Zapier lists no help article for Learnyst, so the traps below are the ones every Zap shares, applied to a course site.

None of them raises an alarm on its own: the Zap simply does less, or more, than you planned. When a run goes wrong, start with the Zapier troubleshooting page.

  • Past tests and purchases are ignored

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Earlier submissions, sign-ups and sales stay out, and moving that history is a separate job.

  • The Zap that feeds itself

    Sign Up as trigger and Sign Up as action on the same platform can set the Zap off again and again, and burn through your task count fast.

  • A bulk import floods the triggers

    After a migration or a mass import of learners, a sudden wave of events can be held back by Zapier's flood protection instead of running one by one.

FAQ

Learnyst Zapier integration: your questions

01Is the Learnyst Zapier integration free?
Yes, on the Zapier side: Learnyst is not a premium app, so the free plan can use it. That plan includes 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap is capped at two steps, one trigger and one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Your Learnyst subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover, so check it on the Learnyst side.
02How many tasks does a Learnyst Zap use?
One per successful action, nothing more. The trigger is free, however many tests are submitted. A Zap that registers a buyer with Sign Up and then opens the product with Paid Enrollment uses two tasks per purchase, because each action that works is counted on its own. A failed action is not billed. Lesson Completed deserves care: every finished lesson is a run, so the actions behind it add up quickly on a long course.
03Do Learnyst triggers work in real time?
Yes, all nine of them. Every Learnyst trigger is instant: the platform tells Zapier as soon as the event happens, and the Zap starts right away. That holds on every plan, the free one included, because the polling interval only applies to triggers Zapier has to check on a timer. In the editor these Zaps carry a lightning bolt. The type is set by Learnyst and cannot be changed from the Zapier side.
04What do you need to connect Learnyst to Zapier?
A Learnyst account, plus access to anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. Then it is short: open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection, search for Learnyst, click Add connection, sign in to Learnyst in the new tab and grant access. The connection is stored once and reused by every Learnyst step afterwards, in every Zap. Nothing else is required before you build your first Zap.
05Why does Paid Enrollment fail on a new buyer?
Because the action works on an existing learner only, found by email. Someone who paid in another tool but never signed up on your platform has no account to open the product on. The fix is to run Sign Up first, then Paid Enrollment, which makes a multi-step Zap on a paid plan. Also check the product title you type: it has to match the title of a product on your Learnyst platform.
06What if the Learnyst operation you need is not available?
Then Zapier cannot do it directly with this app. The integration has two actions, Sign Up and Paid Enrollment, and no search: nothing updates a learner, removes access or creates a product, and a Zap cannot look up an existing learner first. The nine triggers cover sign-ups, purchases, tests and progress. If the operation is really absent, the job needs another route outside this integration, or the process has to be built around sign-ups and paid access only.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Learnyst?
It depends on your criteria, not on a single winner. If your team already works in Zapier, the nine instant triggers and the two actions cover the common flows of a course and test site. If you need operations the integration does not expose, a search step, or many steps per run at a lower cost, compare what each platform offers for Learnyst and how it counts executions. Weigh volume, budget and who will maintain the flows over time.
