Overview

What the Leedpulse Zapier integration actually does

Leedpulse works on leads that went cold: it qualifies them by SMS and turns them into booked appointments. Zapier connects it to the rest of your stack in both directions. Other apps can delegate a contact to Leedpulse, and Leedpulse can report contact updates back so the follow-up never happens in the dark.

Three outcomes, each tied to a real operation. Leads handed over without copy-paste: Create Contact sends a contact to Leedpulse with its phone number, the scenario to run, the sender and the owner. An inbox that delegates for you: Create Contact by Email does the same from the content of an email, for leads that arrive by mail. A CRM that hears what changed: Get Contacts Info picks up updated contacts in Leedpulse, so your other tools reflect where each lead stands.

What Zapier does not do here. There is no search, so a Zap cannot check whether a contact is already in Leedpulse before creating it. There is no update or delete action either: once delegated, a contact is managed inside Leedpulse. And the trigger is a polling one, so updates arrive on Zapier's timer, not the instant they happen.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words come back on every Zapier screen. Here they are once, in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap, like an updated contact in Leedpulse. Once on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes or sends something for you, like Create Contact.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action that completed successfully. Your plan is a count of those, month by month.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger, like Leedpulse's, is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant one calls Zapier the moment it happens.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Leedpulse account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Leedpulse step in all of your Zaps.
Cost

What it really costs to run

Leedpulse is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The bill is counted in tasks, and the trigger's timer depends on your plan.

  • Premium appNo, works on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • TriggerPolling, free to check
  • CountedEach contact delegated successfully

Get Contacts Info costs nothing, however often Zapier checks it; only actions that succeed are billed, one task each, and a failed one is not counted. Each contact delegated with Create Contact or Create Contact by Email is one task. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps and checks every 15 minutes, but only two-step Zaps. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan.

Connect

Connect your Leedpulse account in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the connection dialog

    Go to the Apps page of your Zapier account and click + Add connection. You need a Leedpulse account, plus access to any contact data you want the Zap to touch that you do not own.

  2. 02

    Pick Leedpulse

    Search for Leedpulse by name in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. Zapier then opens a new browser tab on the Leedpulse side to finish the setup.

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Log in to Leedpulse in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection shows on your Apps page, ready for the trigger and both actions.

First Zap

Your first Zap: updated Leedpulse contacts announced to the team

GoalWhen Leedpulse updates a contact, the Zap posts a message in your team chat, only for the updates that pass your filter.

  1. 01

    Set the trigger

    Create a Zap, pick Leedpulse as the trigger app and Get Contacts Info as the event. It is a polling trigger, so Zapier checks it on your plan's timer.

  2. 02

    Test on real contacts

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent contacts from your Leedpulse account, so the mapping is done on real data.

  3. 03

    Add a filter

    From the plus icon, add a Filter and fill in its three boxes: the field, the rule and the value. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  4. 04

    Add the message

    Add your team chat as the action app and map the contact details from the Leedpulse step into the message. Each message sent counts as one task.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step once and check the message lands where you expect it. When it does, click Publish to switch the Zap on for good.

Triggers

The Leedpulse trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Leedpulse. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

Get Contacts Info

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Gets contacts information when contacts are updated”

Starts your Zap when contacts are updated in Leedpulse, and passes their information to the steps that follow. It is the only way to get news out of Leedpulse through Zapier, so any report, CRM sync or team alert about a lead's progress begins here.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one
When to use it
when the people outside Leedpulse need to see that a lead they handed over has moved.
Watch out
updates made before the Zap was published are never picked up, only those that come after.
Actions

The 2 Leedpulse actions

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

1

Create Contact

Action

In Zapier“Delegation (creation) of a contact at Leedpulse”

Delegates a new contact to Leedpulse from a phone number, so the SMS qualification can start on that lead.

When to use it
when another app holds a lead's phone number and that lead should be followed up by Leedpulse.
Watch out
Phone must follow the +33XXXXXXXXX format, and Sender, Scenario ID and Owner are required too.
2

Create Contact by Email

Action

In Zapier“Delegation (creation) of a contact by email at Leedpulse”

Hands a contact to Leedpulse from the content of an email, for leads that reach you as messages rather than structured records.

When to use it
when a lead request lands in an inbox and should go straight to Leedpulse.
Watch out
the Body field takes the email content and is required, along with Owner, Sender and Scenario ID.
When it breaks

When the Leedpulse Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article and no documented limit to Leedpulse. The failures you will meet come from how Zapier works with every app, and four of them matter here.

Keep these cases in mind before you publish. If a run fails and the reason is unclear, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Old leads are left behind

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Leads already sitting in another app are never delegated to Leedpulse; that backlog is a separate job.
  • A lead delegated twice

    With no search on Leedpulse, the Zap cannot check whether a contact is already there. A trigger that fires twice for the same lead creates it twice.
  • A loop between two tools

    If an update caught by Get Contacts Info leads to a step that creates a contact in Leedpulse again, the Zap can keep setting itself off and eat tasks.
  • A bulk import held back

    When Leedpulse suddenly returns a huge batch of updated contacts, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back.

FAQ

Leedpulse Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the Leedpulse Zapier integration free?
Yes. Leedpulse is not a premium app, so it runs on the free Zapier plan. That plan includes 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, with each Zap limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. A lead form followed by Create Contact fits, and so does Get Contacts Info followed by a CRM update. Adding a filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Leedpulse's own pricing is outside the scope of this page.
02How many tasks does delegating a lead use?
One task per contact delegated successfully, whether through Create Contact or Create Contact by Email. The trigger that starts the Zap costs nothing, and Zapier checking Get Contacts Info is free however often it runs. Only completed actions are billed. If Leedpulse refuses a contact, for example because the phone format is wrong, that failed action is not counted. On the free plan, 100 tasks means up to 100 successful hand-overs a month in a single-action Zap.
03Is the Leedpulse trigger real time?
No. Get Contacts Info is a polling trigger: Zapier checks Leedpulse at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan. Every 15 minutes on Free, every 2 minutes on Professional, every minute on Team and Enterprise. On paid plans the interval can be changed, and a check can be run by hand from the editor. The actions, on the other hand, run as soon as the trigger that starts their Zap fires.
04What does it take to connect Leedpulse to Zapier?
A Leedpulse account you can sign in to, plus access to any contact data you want the Zap to touch that you do not own. Open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection, search for Leedpulse, confirm with Add connection, then log in to Leedpulse in the tab that opens and grant access. The connection is saved once and reused by the trigger and both actions in every Zap.
05Why is Create Contact rejecting phone numbers?
First suspect: the number is not in the format the Phone field asks for: an international prefix followed by the digits, as shown in the field's own example. Numbers typed with spaces or without the country code can fail. Three other fields are required on top of Phone: Sender, Scenario ID and Owner. A missing one blocks the step as well. Failed actions do not cost tasks, but the lead is not delegated until the format is fixed.
06What if the Leedpulse operation you want is not available?
Then Zapier does not offer it for Leedpulse today. The integration has one trigger, Get Contacts Info, and two actions, Create Contact and Create Contact by Email. There is no search, so a contact cannot be looked up before creation, and no update or delete action. Anything beyond delegating contacts and reading their updates has to be done directly in Leedpulse itself, by hand or through another route than this Zapier integration.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Leedpulse?
Compare them on criteria, not on a ranking. On Zapier the facts are set: one polling trigger whose speed depends on your plan, two actions to delegate contacts, no search, and no premium fee. Ask the other platforms the same things: which Leedpulse operations they expose, whether contact updates arrive instantly or on a timer, and how they bill a multi-step run. For handing leads to Leedpulse from other apps, Zapier already does the job.
