Overview

What the Lengow Zapier integration does for you

Lengow helps brands and distributors sell online and gathers the orders that come in from marketplaces. Zapier, an automation service, can pass those orders on to your other apps. A Zap (one automation) waits for a new or updated order in Lengow, then hands it to another tool. You set it up once and it keeps going.

A single sales sheet for every marketplace. New Order From Marketplace adds a row to a spreadsheet for each order Lengow receives, wherever it was placed, so you stop gathering sales from several places by hand.

A status log that follows each order. Updated Order passes order updates to another tool, so you and your team can see what moved without opening Lengow and comparing screens.

A heads-up for whoever handles the order. Either trigger can post a message or open a task in another app, so the next person in line knows an order is waiting for them.

Now the part the app page leaves out. On Zapier, Lengow has no action and no search: a Zap cannot change an order or look anything up in Lengow. And both triggers are polling ones, so on the free plan an order can wait up to 15 minutes before the Zap notices it.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words cover this page. Each one keeps the meaning given here.

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 that event and nothing else.
Action
What the Zap does once it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan counts tasks, never triggers.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval set by your plan. Both Lengow triggers work this way.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, calling Zapier as soon as the event happens. Lengow has none of these on Zapier.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Lengow account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap and every step that needs it.
Cost

What a Lengow Zap really costs

Checking Lengow for new orders is free, however often Zapier looks. Only what your Zap does next counts.

  • Tasks on the free plan100 per month
  • Steps allowed on the free plan2 (one trigger, one action)
  • Premium appNo, works on the free plan
  • Polling triggers2 out of 2

The trigger never uses a task, and an action that fails is not billed. Each action that succeeds counts on its own: a Zap with three actions uses three tasks per order. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, limited to two steps: one trigger, one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Lengow is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. Both triggers are polling ones, so the grid below sets how quickly an order is noticed; paid plans can change the interval or run a check by hand from the editor.

Connect

Connect Lengow to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In your Zapier account, go to the Apps page and click + Add connection. You need a Lengow account first, with access to the orders you want the Zap to watch.

  2. 02

    Pick Lengow

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

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Log in to Lengow in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection is saved once, and both Lengow triggers reuse it in every Zap you build.

First Zap

Your first Zap: every marketplace order in one spreadsheet

GoalAdd a spreadsheet row for each new marketplace order Lengow receives, keeping only the orders that match a condition you set.

  1. 01

    Set the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose Lengow as the app and New Order From Marketplace as the event, then select your connection. No required field to fill in.

  2. 02

    Test on real orders

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent orders of the connected account, so the row is mapped on a real one.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon and add Filter. Fill in the field to look at, the rule and the value. A text rule works on text, a number rule on numbers.

  4. 04

    Map the row

    Add your spreadsheet as the action and map the order fields into its columns. This step costs a task each time an order gets through the filter.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step and read what came back, then click Publish. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

Triggers

The 2 Lengow triggers

2 events start a Zap when something happens in Lengow. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

New Order From Marketplace

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggered when you receive a new order coming from marketplaces”

Starts your Zap when Lengow receives a new order from one of your marketplaces, with the order details ready for the next step.

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
every marketplace sale should land in one sheet or one tool, whatever channel it came from.
Watch out
on the free plan an order can wait up to 15 minutes before the Zap sees it; if speed matters, a paid plan checks every 2 minutes or less.
2

Updated Order

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an order is updated”

Fires when an order already in Lengow is updated, so the copy you keep elsewhere can follow the change.

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
you track orders in another tool and want their updates written there, instead of comparing two screens by hand.
Watch out
Zapier only sees what changed by the time it checks, so on the free plan an update reaches your other tool with a delay set by the interval.
When it breaks

When a Lengow Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Lengow, so the known weak spots are the general limits and the timing of its two polling triggers.

Most surprises show up with the first real orders. If none of these cases explains what you see, open our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Past orders never arrive

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Orders already in Lengow are not picked up; moving that history is a separate job.

  • The order shows up late

    Both triggers are polling ones. On the free plan Zapier checks every 15 minutes, so an order can sit that long before the Zap runs.

  • A big batch gets held back

    After a bulk import or a migration, a trigger that suddenly returns a huge batch can be held back by Zapier's flood protection instead of running every item.

  • The filter is on, the plan is free

    A filter or a second action turns the Zap into a multi-step one. The free plan only runs two-step Zaps, so this Zap needs a paid plan.

FAQ

Lengow and Zapier: common questions

01Is the Lengow Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free Zapier plan, because Lengow is not a premium app. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps. The catch is the shape of the Zap: one trigger and one action, nothing more. A Zap that adds a spreadsheet row per order fits. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Prices change often, so check the current grid on Zapier before choosing.
02How many tasks does a Lengow Zap use?
Checking Lengow costs nothing, however often Zapier looks, and the trigger itself never uses a task. Each action that completes successfully counts as one task. A Zap that adds one spreadsheet row per marketplace order uses one task per order; a Zap with three actions uses three. An action that fails is not counted. A few apps and actions take more than one task each, so check your task count once the Zap is live.
03Are Lengow triggers real time?
No. Both Lengow triggers are polling ones: Zapier asks Lengow for new items at a fixed interval set by your plan. That is every 15 minutes on Free, 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team and Enterprise. Paid plans can also change the interval and run a check by hand from the editor. The trigger type comes from the app itself and cannot be switched to instant from Zapier.
04What does it take to connect Lengow to Zapier?
A Lengow account with access to the orders you want to follow. In Zapier, open the Apps page, click Add connection, search for Lengow, sign in in the tab that opens and grant access. Neither trigger asks for a required field, so once the connection works you can pick the event and test it. The test brings back the three most recent orders of the account, which is a quick way to confirm the right account is connected.
05Why did an order reach the Zap several minutes late?
Because both Lengow triggers are polling ones. Zapier does not hear about an order the moment it lands in Lengow; it asks at regular intervals. On the free plan that interval is 15 minutes, so an order can wait up to that long. Professional cuts it to 2 minutes, Team and Enterprise to 1. If timing matters to you, the plan is the setting to look at, since the trigger type cannot change.
06What if the Lengow operation you need is not on Zapier?
Then the editor has no way to add it. The 2 triggers on this page are the only Lengow operations Zapier offers: no action and no search. A Zap cannot change an order or look anything up in Lengow. If your workflow needs that, the next step is a platform that can work with Lengow directly, or a manual step inside Lengow for that part of the job, kept outside the Zap.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Lengow?
It depends on the job. If you only need to pass new and updated orders from Lengow to other tools, Zapier covers it with 2 triggers, and the free plan works for a two-step Zap, with a check every 15 minutes. If you need to write back into Lengow or react faster on a small plan, look at how other platforms handle the app. Your budget per task, how many steps your workflows need and who will maintain them are the criteria that decide.
