Overview

What the Limo Anywhere Zapier integration does for you

Connecting Limo Anywhere to Zapier means a Zap, the automation you build on Zapier, listens to your limousine booking platform and passes what happens there to your other tools, or feeds it from them. Fourteen operations are on offer: ten events to react to, three things to create, and one way to look up an account.

Three results worth building. A calendar that never misses a ride: New Reservation fires the moment a booking is created, and an event appears in your team calendar. Quotes that skip the inbox: a request comes through a form on your site, and Create Quote Request puts it in Limo Anywhere with the pickup date and the number of passengers. Payments logged without exports: each New Payment adds a line to your accounting sheet.

What Zapier does not do here. Nothing updates or cancels an existing reservation, account or quote: the three actions only create. Nothing deletes. The only search finds an account by its ID, not by name or email. And New Paid Reservation leaves out trips that sit on an invoice or are set to be invoiced or direct billed; those go through New Finalized Invoice instead.

On the bright side, all ten triggers are instant, so even the free plan waits for nothing. If you are still weighing tools, open our Make vs Zapier comparison or see our Zapier training.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words come back all along this page. Here they are once, in plain English, so the rest reads without stopping.

Zap
Your automation on Zapier: 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. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for it to happen.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that creates, sends or writes something for you.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's allowance counts these and nothing else.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens. All ten Limo Anywhere triggers work this way.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items. Limo Anywhere has none, so no timer applies.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap carry on only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it there otherwise.
Search step
A step that looks up a record that already exists, so the steps after it can use what it found.
Cost

What a Limo Anywhere Zap really costs

Limo Anywhere is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. Zapier counts in tasks, and the trigger never costs one.

  • Premium appNo, available on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • TriggerNever costs a task
  • Limo Anywhere triggersAll instant, no waiting on any plan

Each action that goes through counts once; one that fails is not billed. A Zap that puts every new reservation in your calendar spends one task per reservation. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only: one trigger, one action. Add a filter, a second action or the Find Account search, and the Zap turns multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is for polling triggers only and does not apply here: all ten Limo Anywhere triggers are instant, so your plan never changes how fast a Zap starts.

Connect

Connect your Limo Anywhere account in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Limo Anywhere account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that talks to it.

  2. 02

    Pick Limo Anywhere

    Type Limo Anywhere in the search box of the dialog, select it in the results and click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Limo Anywhere side, where you sign in.

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Log in with your Limo Anywhere account and grant Zapier access. If the Zap will touch accounts or reservations someone else manages, check first that this login has read or write rights on them.

First Zap

Your first Zap: every new booking in the team calendar

GoalWhen a reservation is created in Limo Anywhere and meets your condition, add it as an event to your team calendar.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap from your Zapier dashboard. The editor opens on an empty trigger step, waiting for the app and the event that should set everything off.

  2. 02

    Set the trigger

    Pick Limo Anywhere, then New Reservation, and choose your connection. Test it: Zapier brings back the three most recent reservations, so you map fields on a real one.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    From the plus icon, add Filter and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule and the value to compare with. Only reservations that pass go on. This makes the Zap multi-step.

  4. 04

    Add the calendar event

    Add your calendar with the action that creates an event, and map each of its fields from what the trigger brought back about the reservation.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run each step once, read what came back and check the event in the calendar. Then click Publish. Reservations created before that moment are not added; only new ones are.

Triggers

Limo Anywhere triggers in Zapier

10 events start a Zap when something happens in Limo Anywhere, and 10 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Account

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new customer account is created.”

Goes off when a new customer account is created in Limo Anywhere. It is the first trace of a client, before any trip is booked.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
every new client should also appear in your customer sheet or another tool, without anyone copying it.
Watch out
accounts created before the Zap was published are never sent, so an existing client base needs a separate import.
2

New Finalized Invoice

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an invoice is marked as 'FINALIZED'.”

Starts the Zap when an invoice is marked as finalized. The invoice is closed at that point, which makes it safe to copy elsewhere.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
your bookkeeping lives in another tool and should receive each invoice once it is final, not while it is still a draft.
Watch out
invoiced trips do not set off New Paid Reservation, so this is the trigger to watch for them.
3

New Paid Bill

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a paid bill is created. Works for Affiliate and Agent bills.”

Fires when a paid bill is created. It covers affiliate and agent bills.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
what you pay out to partners should be logged in your accounting sheet as it happens.
Watch out
it only works for affiliate and agent bills; other kinds of outgoing payments do not set it off.
4

New Driver Pay Log

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new driver pay log is created.”

Kicks off each time a new driver pay log is created, the record of what a driver is owed for their work.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
driver pay is prepared in another tool, and each pay log should reach it without a manual export.
Watch out
logs that existed before the Zap was published stay out.
5

New Payment

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new payment is recorded.”

Triggered whenever a payment is recorded in Limo Anywhere, whatever it is paying for.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
every amount received should land in a cash sheet or be announced to whoever follows the money.
Watch out
payments recorded before the Zap was published are never sent; bring older ones over separately.
6

New Quote Request

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new quote request is created.”

Runs as soon as a new quote request is created, the moment a prospect asks for a price before booking.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
someone on the team should get a message for each request, so no quote waits unanswered.
Watch out
a Zap that starts here and also uses Create Quote Request writes where its own trigger watches, and can set itself off again and again.
7

New Reservation

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new reservation is created.”

This one reacts to every reservation created in Limo Anywhere, whoever entered it. One new reservation, one run of the Zap.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
new bookings should reach a shared calendar or a team channel without retyping.
Watch out
adding Create Reservation to the same Zap makes it write where its own trigger watches, which can set it off again and again.
8

New Paid Reservation

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when the payment status of a trip is set to 'PAID'. Works for reservations that are not on an invoice and are not set to be invoiced/direct billed.”

Fires when the payment status of a trip is set to paid. It is the signal that a ride is settled and nothing is owed.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a settled trip should update your revenue sheet the moment it is paid.
Watch out
it ignores trips that are on an invoice or set to be invoiced or direct billed; watch New Finalized Invoice for those.
9

Updated Account

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an account is updated.”

Goes off whenever an existing account is changed. The Zap receives the account as it now stands.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a copy of your clients kept elsewhere should follow every change made in Limo Anywhere.
Watch out
it fires on any change, so add a filter if only some edits matter to you.
10

Updated Reservation

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a reservation is updated.”

Every time a reservation is modified after it was created. Any change made to it counts.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
the calendar event created for a booking should be updated when the booking moves.
Watch out
one booking edited several times starts the Zap several times, and each run costs its tasks.
Actions

Limo Anywhere actions in Zapier

Limo Anywhere gives you 3 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Account

Action

In Zapier“Creates an account.”

Opens a customer account in Limo Anywhere from data arriving elsewhere. You give a name, an email login, and say whether this person is a passenger, a billing contact and a booking contact.

When to use it
a new client signs up through your website and should exist in Limo Anywhere before their first trip.
Watch out
set Automatic Notification to no and the person receives no automatic emails at all; they must then be sent by hand.
2

Create Quote Request

Action

In Zapier“Creates a quote request.”

Records a quote request in Limo Anywhere, with a pickup date and time, a first name and the number of passengers.

When to use it
requests arrive through a web form or another tool, and should be priced from Limo Anywhere.
Watch out
the pickup date and time must follow yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm, for example 2017-01-31 23:51.
3

Create Reservation

Action

In Zapier“Creates a reservation.”

Books a trip straight into Limo Anywhere, with the same core details as a quote: pickup date and time, first name and passenger count.

When to use it
bookings taken in another tool should appear in Limo Anywhere without anyone entering them twice.
Watch out
the date format is the same strict yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm; a date written any other way stops the step.
Searches

Limo Anywhere search in Zapier

1 search step looks for data that already exists in Limo Anywhere, so a later step can use it.

A search step looks up something that already exists and hands it to the next steps. Limo Anywhere has a single one, and it finds an account by its ID. You will find it at the bottom of the Action event list, under SEARCH.

1

Find Account

Search

In Zapier“Find an account by ID.”

Fetches a customer account from its ID and passes the full record to the steps that follow.

When to use it
an earlier step only carries the account ID, and you need the account's details for a message or a sheet.
Watch out
the Account ID is required and it is the only way in; there is no lookup by name or email.

The three settings every search exposes

  1. Successful if no search results are found?
    Left as is, a search that finds nothing stops the Zap there and skips the steps that needed it. Switched on, the Zap goes on without the account.
  2. Create X if it doesn't exist yet?
    On apps that offer it, this box turns a search into find or create. Find Account has no such variant, so a missing account is never created this way.
  3. If multiple search results are found?
    Three ways out when several records match: keep the first one, which is the default, stop the Zap, or pass them all on at once.
When it breaks

When a Limo Anywhere Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Limo Anywhere, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What goes wrong comes from the rules every Zap follows.

Four situations explain most surprises, and all of them come from the rules every Zap follows rather than from Limo Anywhere. If one of them has you stuck, open our Zapier troubleshooting page.

  • The past is never picked up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Reservations, payments or accounts from before stay out; moving them is a separate job.

  • A Zap that sets itself off

    A Zap that writes where its own trigger watches, like New Reservation followed by Create Reservation, can restart on its own output and drain your tasks.

  • A big batch gets held back

    A bulk import of accounts or reservations can make a trigger send a huge batch at once. Zapier's flood protection may hold that batch back.

  • The account search comes back empty

    If the ID passed to Find Account matches no account, the search finds nothing and, by default, the Zap stops there and skips what follows.

FAQ

Limo Anywhere Zapier integration: frequent questions

01Is the Limo Anywhere Zapier integration free?
Yes, for simple Zaps. Limo Anywhere is not a premium app, so the free plan reaches it, with 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps: one trigger and one action. Add a filter, the Find Account search or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Many useful builds, like filtering reservations before adding them to a calendar, fall in that second case. Check the current plan table, since prices change often.
02How many tasks does a Limo Anywhere Zap use?
One per action that succeeds, and none for the trigger. A Zap that adds each new reservation to a calendar spends one task per reservation. A second Zap built on Updated Reservation would cost another task for every edit. An action that fails is not counted. Multiply the number of actions in your Zap by how often its trigger really fires, and you have a fair monthly estimate. Keep an eye on that.
03Does Limo Anywhere work in real time with Zapier?
Yes. All ten Limo Anywhere triggers are instant: the platform tells Zapier the moment a reservation, a payment, an invoice or an account changes. The polling interval that comes with each plan does not apply, so a free account gets the same speed as a paid one. In the editor, a lightning bolt marks Zaps built on this kind of trigger, which is an easy way to check what you are using.
04What does it take to connect Limo Anywhere to Zapier?
A Limo Anywhere account, and rights on the records the Zap will touch. You add it from the Apps page with + Add connection, sign in to Limo Anywhere in the tab that opens and grant access. If you plan to create reservations or quotes, make sure the source of your data can give a pickup date and time as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm, since both actions require it. Test one step before publishing.
05Why does New Paid Reservation miss some paid trips?
Because it only covers trips paid outside an invoice. When a trip sits on an invoice, or is set to be invoiced or direct billed, marking it paid does not set off this trigger. Those trips reach Zapier through New Finalized Invoice instead. To see every payment in one place, combine the two, or use New Payment, and check that the same amount is not logged twice. A filter helps there.
06What if the Limo Anywhere operation you want is not there?
Then this integration cannot do it, and no hidden setting unlocks it. On Zapier, Limo Anywhere offers ten triggers, three actions and one search. Updating or cancelling a reservation, editing an account or searching by name are not on the list. In that case, look at how other automation platforms handle Limo Anywhere before building a workaround, and weigh the effort against what the missing step brings. Sometimes keeping that step manual is simplest.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Limo Anywhere?
It depends on your criteria, not on a single winner. Zapier is quick to start here: fourteen operations are ready, every trigger is instant and the editor guides you. To choose, line the three up on the same criteria: which Limo Anywhere operations each one offers, whether its triggers arrive at once or on a check, how a run is billed, and how much of the build you want to maintain yourself.
