What the Legal Monster Zapier integration does
Legal Monster keeps track of what your users have agreed to, document by document. Zapier connects apps: an event in one triggers work in another. Here, Legal Monster can tell your other tools when a consent is given or withdrawn, and your other tools can record or withdraw consent in Legal Monster.
That gives you three concrete results. A consent log: with New Consent, each agreement adds a line to a spreadsheet, so anyone can see who agreed to what without opening Legal Monster. A clean mailing list: with Consent Withdrawn, the person who changes their mind is taken off your email tool straight away, instead of waiting for someone to notice. A consent saved at the source: with Save Consent to a Document, a sign-up in another app records the agreement against the right document in Legal Monster.
The other action, Withdraw Consent to E-Mail Marketing, works the other way round: an unsubscribe elsewhere withdraws all email marketing consent for that address.
Now what Zapier does not do here. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up a person's existing consents before acting. There is no way to edit a document from a Zap. And nothing that happened before the Zap was published is sent. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Zapier comparison and the Zapier review are the next pages to open.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven terms are enough for everything below. Each is explained once, then used as is.
- Zap
- The automation you build in Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it. Here: a consent given or a consent withdrawn.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, such as saving a consent.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's allowance is a count of these.
- Instant vs polling
- An instant trigger is pushed by the app the moment it happens. A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- 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 Legal Monster Zaps cost
Legal Monster is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. Its two triggers are instant, so the check intervals that slow down polling apps never apply to them.
- TriggersFree, never counted
- Each successful action1 task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Legal Monster triggersInstant on every plan
Triggers never cost a task: a consent given or withdrawn reaching Zapier is free. Each action that succeeds counts once, whether it runs in Legal Monster or in another app, and an action that fails is not counted. Saving one consent is one task. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only. Add a filter, say to react to one document only, or a second action, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which takes a paid plan. The interval grid below does not apply to Legal Monster, since all its triggers are instant.
Connect Legal Monster in three steps
- 01
Open Apps
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Legal Monster account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that needs it.
- 02
Choose Legal Monster
Search for Legal Monster in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Legal Monster side, where you sign in with your usual login.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Log in to Legal Monster and allow Zapier in. You need your own account, plus access to any consents or documents you do not own but want the Zap to read or change.
Your first Zap: a running log of new consents
GoalEach time someone gives consent in Legal Monster, add a line to a spreadsheet so the team has a readable log of who agreed to what.
- 01
Pick the trigger
Create a Zap, choose Legal Monster as the app that starts it and New Consent as the event, then select your Legal Monster connection.
- 02
Test it on real data
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent consents of the account, so you can map the next step on one that really exists.
- 03
Add the spreadsheet step
Add the action in your spreadsheet app and map the consent details into the columns. With two steps in total, the Zap stays on the free plan.
- 04
Check the row
Test the action and open the sheet: a new row should be there. If a column is empty, adjust the mapping and test again before you go on.
- 05
Publish
Click Publish to switch the Zap on. From that point, each new consent adds its line as soon as Legal Monster records it.
The two Legal Monster triggers
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Legal Monster, and 2 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Consent
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new consent is created.”
Starts your Zap whenever a new consent is recorded in Legal Monster, and passes it to the next steps. It is the event that tells your other tools a person has just agreed to something.
Consent Withdrawn
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a consent is withdrawn.”
Fires as soon as a consent is withdrawn in Legal Monster, and hands that change to the following steps. This is the one that stops your other tools from contacting someone who has said no.
The two Legal Monster actions
Legal Monster gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Save Consent to a Document
ActionIn Zapier“Saves consent to a defined document.”
Records a person's agreement against a document you choose in Legal Monster, so the consent lives where your proof is kept.
Withdraw Consent to E-Mail Marketing
ActionIn Zapier“Withdraws all email marketing consent associated with the specified user email.”
Removes every email marketing consent tied to the user email you give it, in one go, inside Legal Monster.
When a Legal Monster Zap breaks
Zapier links no help article and no rate limit specific to Legal Monster. Most failures come from the way Zapier itself works.
Four situations explain most surprises. If a Zap still misbehaves after you rule them out, the Zapier troubleshooting guide is the next page to open.
Old consents never arrive
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Consents given or withdrawn before that stay in Legal Monster, and moving them is a separate job.A withdrawal loop
A Zap that withdraws consent while listening for withdrawals writes where its own trigger watches. It can set itself off again and burn through your tasks.A bulk import held back
When a huge batch arrives at once, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back rather than run every item.Missing required fields
Save Consent to a Document stops when the Document or the User Identifier is empty. Make sure the earlier step always provides both.
