Linkepy Zapier integrationAutomate Linkepy with Zapier.

The Linkepy Zapier integration has 0 triggers, 1 action and 1 search. It works on contacts that arrive from your other tools: Find Email looks up a work address from a name and a company, and Verify Email checks whether an address is valid before you use it.

Overview

What the Linkepy Zapier integration does with your contacts

The Linkepy Zapier integration puts Linkepy, a tool that finds and checks professional email addresses, in the middle of your other apps, through Zapier and without code. A contact arrives in a form, a CRM or a sheet; Zapier asks Linkepy to find or check the address, then hands the answer to the next step.

Three results justify it. First, a cleaner list from day one: Verify Email checks every address typed into your form, and a filter lets only the valid ones reach your CRM, so bad entries never pile up there. Second, addresses for contacts that had none: Find Email starts from a full name and a company name and returns a professional address that later steps can store. Third, found, then checked: chaining Find Email and Verify Email gives you an address and a verdict on it in the same run, before anything is sent.

What it does not do. Linkepy has no trigger, so nothing in Linkepy can start a Zap: another app always opens it. It does not store or update contacts anywhere; it answers, and the steps after it do the writing. And this page has no detail on what Linkepy returns beyond an address and its validity, so test each step on a real contact before you rely on it.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven terms carry the whole page. Each one is explained here once, then used as is.

Zap
The automation you build in Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Linkepy has none, so the trigger always comes from another app, like a form.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or checks something for you, like verifying an email.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The allowance on your plan is a count of those.
Search step
A step that looks up something that already exists, here an email address, so the steps after it can use what it found.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap carry on only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Linkepy account linked to Zapier one time, then reused by every Linkepy step of every Zap you build.
Cost

What a Linkepy Zap really costs

Linkepy is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. On Zapier's side, the bill is counted in tasks, and only actions that succeed count.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
  • Free plan stepsOne trigger and one action
  • Premium appNo, works on the free plan
  • Needs a paid planAny Zap using Find Email

The trigger from your other app costs nothing. Each Verify Email that succeeds is one task; a failed one is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but two steps per Zap: your trigger and Verify Email fit. Find Email is a search, and adding a search, a filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below only matters if your source app's trigger polls: an instant one skips it, and Linkepy has no trigger of its own.

Connect

Connect your Linkepy account in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. You need a Linkepy account, plus read or write access to anything you do not own yourself and want a Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Pick Linkepy

    Search Linkepy by name in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Linkepy side, and that is where the sign-in happens.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to Linkepy in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection is saved once, then offered in a list by every Linkepy step you add later.

First Zap

Your first Zap: only verified emails reach your CRM

GoalEach form submission has its email checked by Linkepy, and only the addresses that pass the filter become contacts in your CRM.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap in Zapier. Linkepy has no trigger, so the first step belongs to your form tool: pick it and the event for a new submission.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent submissions, so the rest of the Zap is set up on a real one instead of a guess.

  3. 03

    Add Verify Email

    Add Linkepy with Verify Email, choose your connection, and map the email from the form into Email Address. Test it and read the verdict that comes back.

  4. 04

    Add the filter

    From the plus icon, add Filter and set its three boxes: the field from Linkepy's result, the rule, the value. A text rule only works on text.

  5. 05

    Add the CRM step

    Add your CRM with an action that creates a contact and map the form fields in. With a filter and two actions, this Zap is multi-step and needs a paid plan.

  6. 06

    Publish

    Publish the Zap. Only submissions received after that moment are checked; earlier ones stay where they are. Test once more with a real submission.

Actions

The Linkepy action

Linkepy gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Verify Email

Action

In Zapier“Verify an email address check if it’s valid, active, and deliverable.”

Checks one email address and tells you whether it is valid, active and able to receive mail. The address, in Email Address, is the only required field.

When to use it
addresses typed by people, in forms or imports, should be checked before they enter your CRM or a mailing.
Watch out
each verification that succeeds is one task, even for an address you checked before.
Searches

The Linkepy search, and what happens when it finds nothing

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

A search step creates nothing: it fetches an answer and passes it down the Zap. In the editor, searches sit at the bottom of the Action event list, under SEARCH. Adding one makes the Zap multi-step.

1

Find Email

Search

In Zapier“Find a professional email address by name and domain.”

Looks for a person's professional email address from their name and their company. Full Name and Company Name are both required.

When to use it
a record holds a name and an employer but no address, and the next step needs one to write to.
Watch out
how close the match must be is decided by Linkepy, not by Zapier, so test with a real contact first.

The three settings every search exposes

  1. Successful if no search results are found?
    Left on its default, a search that finds no address stops the Zap and the steps that needed it are skipped. Switch it on and the Zap carries on empty-handed.
  2. Create X if it doesn't exist yet?
    This box turns a search into a find-or-create. Linkepy offers no such variant, so it does not appear on Find Email.
  3. If multiple search results are found?
    Three ways out when several results match: keep the first one, which is the default, stop the Zap, or pass all of them on at once.
When it breaks

When a Linkepy Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Linkepy and lists no limit of its own for it. What breaks here is what breaks on any Zap.

Four cases cover most surprises. When a Zap stops for a reason you cannot see, head to Zapier troubleshooting.

  • Old contacts are not processed

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Contacts already in your tools are not checked; going through that backlog is a separate job.
  • A Zap that restarts itself

    If the step after Linkepy writes a new record into the very place your trigger watches, each record starts the Zap again and burns tasks fast.
  • A big import gets held back

    When your source app's trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
  • The same record runs once

    If your source app's trigger is a polling one, Zapier remembers what it has seen, so the same record is not checked twice.

FAQ

Linkepy Zapier integration: frequent questions

01Is the Linkepy Zapier integration free?
Yes, as far as Zapier goes: Linkepy is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. That plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps. A trigger followed by Verify Email fits. Find Email, being a search, makes the Zap multi-step, and so does a filter or a second action: those need a paid plan. No price is quoted here, since plan grids change too often to stay accurate.
02How many tasks does a Linkepy Zap use?
One task per action that completes successfully. The trigger in your source app is free, however often it fires. A Zap that verifies each form submission uses one task per submission; if it then creates a CRM contact, that is two. A verification that fails is not counted. The volume of your source app decides how fast the monthly allowance goes, so check it before you connect a busy form or a large import.
03Does Linkepy work in real time?
That depends on the app that starts the Zap, because Linkepy has no trigger of its own. If your form or CRM offers an instant trigger, it tells Zapier as soon as a contact arrives and Linkepy is called straight away. If its trigger is a polling one, Zapier checks at an interval set by your plan, and the lookup waits for that check. In the editor, an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt, so you can tell which one you have.
04What do you need to connect Linkepy to Zapier?
A Linkepy account, and read or write access to anything you do not own yourself that a Zap should touch. The connection is made from the Apps page of Zapier with + Add connection: search Linkepy, sign in in the tab that opens, and grant Zapier access. You also need the app that will start the Zap, connected the same way, since Linkepy cannot start one. The connection is then reused by every Linkepy step.
05Why does a Zap stop after Find Email?
Most often because Find Email found no address and the setting Successful if no search results are found? is still on its default. In that case the Zap stops there, and the steps that needed the address are skipped. Switch the setting on if the Zap should carry on anyway. Also check that both required fields, Full Name and Company Name, actually arrived from the trigger: an empty one gives the search nothing to work with.
06What if the Linkepy operation you need is not on Zapier?
Then this integration cannot do it. Linkepy on Zapier offers two operations: Verify Email, an action, and Find Email, a search. There is no trigger, nothing to store results in Linkepy, and no find-or-create variant. For anything beyond finding and checking an address, the steps around Linkepy have to do the work, or another automation platform has to. Check the list in the editor before you plan a larger flow.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Linkepy?
It depends on your criteria, not on a ranking. Zapier's strong point here is simplicity: two ready-made operations and a free plan that covers a trigger followed by Verify Email. The trade-off is that Find Email, filters and multi-action Zaps need a paid plan, and each successful action is billed per task. Compare the platforms on how they bill high volumes of lookups and on which Linkepy operations each one offers.
