Levity Zapier integrationAutomate Levity with Zapier.

The Levity Zapier integration gives you 0 triggers, 4 actions and 0 searches. Levity never starts a Zap: another app hands it some text, and Levity sorts, extracts, writes or summarizes it. It runs on the free plan. Below: each action, its cost and its traps.

Overview

What the Levity Zapier integration actually does

Levity lets you build your own AI models, which it calls AI Blocks, to classify, summarize, generate or extract text. Through Zapier, those models become steps in a chain: another app brings the text, Levity processes it with the AI Block you pick, and the result moves on to the next tool.

Three results worth building first. Incoming messages sorted on arrival: Text Classification reads each email or form answer and returns the label your AI Block was trained on, so the next step can route it. Key details pulled out of free text: Text Extraction picks the pieces you care about out of a message and hands them over as separate values. Long text turned short: Text Summarization condenses a long reply into a few lines your team can scan, while Text Generation drafts new text from your instructions.

What Zapier does not do here matters as much. Levity has no trigger, so nothing that happens in Levity can start a Zap; the text always comes from another app. There is no search step either. And three of the four actions need an AI Block already set up in your Levity account: Zapier will not build one for you.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words come back all along this page. Here they are, in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event that starts the Zap. Levity has none, so the trigger always comes from another app, like your inbox.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that does the work for you, like Levity labeling a message.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. The allowance on your plan is a count of tasks.
Polling vs instant
Polling: Zapier checks an app on a timer. Instant: the app calls Zapier itself. Here it depends on the trigger app.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the data meets a condition you set, like a given Levity label.
Connection
Your Levity account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that calls Levity.
Cost

What it really costs you

Levity is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The trigger of the other app never costs a task, and neither do Zapier's checks.

  • Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
  • Zap size on free2 steps: one trigger, one action
  • Premium appNo, Levity works on free

Only an action that succeeds is billed: each classification, extraction, generation or summary that goes through is one task, and one that fails is not counted. The catch with Levity is that the result usually has to go somewhere. Sending it on is a second action, and in a Zap with several actions every success counts on its own. The free plan stops at two steps, one trigger and one action, so a Zap that classifies and then routes needs a paid plan. If the trigger app polls, its interval follows the grid below.

Connect

Connect Levity to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. In the dialog that opens, type Levity in the search box and pick it from the results list.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Levity

    Click Add connection. A tab opens on Levity: sign in with the account that holds the AI Blocks your Zaps will use. You need a Levity account before you start.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Allow Zapier to access the account. The connection is saved once, then every Levity step of every Zap reuses it. Anything you do not own yourself needs read or write rights on your side first.

First Zap

Your first Zap: sort incoming emails with Levity

GoalEach new email gets a label from your Levity AI Block, and only the ones with the label you chose go on to your spreadsheet.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap, pick your email tool as the app that starts the Zap, and choose its new email event. Connect the mailbox if it is not linked yet.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test so Zapier brings back recent emails. Pick one with a real body of text: Levity will classify it in the next step.

  3. 03

    Add Text Classification

    Pick Levity, then Text Classification. Select your AI Block and map the email body into Input text for classification. Both are required.

  4. 04

    Add a filter on a paid plan

    With Filter, set a field, a rule and a value on the label Levity returned. This makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Add the spreadsheet row

    Pick your spreadsheet and map the sender, the subject and the Levity label onto its columns. Then test each step and read what came back.

  6. 06

    Publish

    Click Publish. Every new email is now classified; emails that were already in the inbox before publishing are not picked up.

Actions

The 4 Levity actions

Levity gives you 4 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Text Classification

Action

In Zapier“Perform Text Classification”

Reads a text and returns the category your AI Block assigns to it, so later steps can act on that label.

When to use it
incoming emails or answers need sorting before anyone reads them.
Watch out
the AI Block and the input text are both required; the labels come from your block.
2

Text Extraction

Action

In Zapier“Perform Text Extraction”

Pulls specific pieces of information out of free text and returns them as values the next steps can map.

When to use it
details are buried in a message and should land in their own columns.
Watch out
only Input Text for Extraction is required, so check what comes back before mapping it.
3

Text Generation

Action

In Zapier“Generate data using AI”

Writes new text with AI, following the instruction you give it and the AI Block you choose.

When to use it
a draft reply, a description or any short text should be ready each time the trigger data arrives.
Watch out
both the AI Block and the What do you want to generate? box are required.
4

Text Summarization

Action

In Zapier“Summarize your text using AI”

Condenses a long piece of text into a short version your team can read at a glance.

When to use it
long messages or answers arrive and only the gist needs to travel to the next tool.
Watch out
you must select an AI Block and map the Text to be Summarized.
When it breaks

When a Levity Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to Levity and lists no app-specific limit. What trips people up are Zapier's general rules, applied to the app that starts the Zap.

Four of them hit this integration directly. When a Zap misbehaves, check these before blaming the connection, and keep the Zapier troubleshooting page at hand.

  • Old text is never processed

    A Zap reacts only to what happens after you publish it. Emails or rows that existed before never reach Levity; processing that backlog is a separate job.

  • Writing back can loop

    If the Zap writes Levity's result into the very place its trigger watches, such as a new row in the same sheet, it sets itself off again and burns tasks fast.

  • A bulk import gets held back

    When the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it instead of sending all of it to Levity.

  • The same item runs once

    On a polling trigger, Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so the same email or row does not start the Zap twice and is not classified twice.

FAQ

Levity Zapier integration: questions people ask

01Is the Levity Zapier integration free?
Yes. Levity is not a premium app, so it runs on the free Zapier plan, which gives you 100 tasks per month and unlimited Zaps. The limit is size: a free Zap has two steps, one trigger and one action. A new email followed by Text Classification fits, but the label then goes nowhere. As soon as you want to filter on that label or send the result to another tool, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Levity Zap use?
One task per action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger. A Zap that classifies each new email uses one task per email. Add a filter and a spreadsheet row, and each email that passes the filter costs two tasks: one for Levity, one for the row. An action that fails is not counted. With 100 tasks a month on the free plan, a busy inbox can use up the allowance quickly, so pick the trigger with care.
03Does Levity work in real time with Zapier?
Levity has no trigger, so its own speed is never the question: the Zap starts in another app. If that app's trigger is instant, the text reaches Levity straight away. If it polls, Zapier checks it every 15 minutes on the free plan, every 2 minutes on Professional and every minute on Team and Enterprise. Look at the trigger of the app that starts your Zap to know which case you are in.
04What does it take to connect a Levity account?
A Levity account, plus read or write rights on anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch. In Zapier, open Apps, click + Add connection, search for Levity, click Add connection again and sign in to Levity in the tab that opens. Then grant Zapier access. In practice you also need at least one AI Block in that account, since three of the four actions ask you to select one.
05Why is the Select AI Block list empty?
Because the connected Levity account has no AI Block for that action yet, or you signed in with a different account than the one holding your blocks. Text Classification, Text Generation and Text Summarization all require an AI Block, and Zapier only lists the ones that exist in Levity. Set up the block in Levity first, then come back to the step and pick it. Text Extraction is the one action that does not ask for a block.
06What if the Levity operation you need is not in Zapier?
Then the visible list is the limit: Text Classification, Text Extraction, Text Generation and Text Summarization, with no trigger and no search. Anything else is not offered in the Zapier editor for Levity. The usual way around it is to keep Levity for the text work and hand the rest to another app that Zapier supports. Otherwise, check the list of operations of another automation platform before you rebuild anything there.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Levity?
It depends on the criterion, not on a winner. With Zapier, Levity works on the free plan, but a useful Levity Zap often needs a third step to route the result, and free Zaps stop at two. If that is your case, compare how Make or n8n price each step before you pay. And since Levity has no trigger on Zapier, check whether the other platform exposes one before you assume it does.
