Overview

What the Liv Zapier integration does for a landlord

The Liv Zapier integration links your Liv account, the platform where landlords and tenants meet around listings on liv.rent, to Zapier, a service that makes apps work together without code. It does one thing: tell Zapier each time a lead comes in on one of your listings, so another app can take over.

A lead log that fills itself. New Lead Received starts the Zap, and each lead becomes a row in your spreadsheet. You keep every enquiry in one place, listing by listing, without copying anything, and you can sort them later the way you like.

An alert that doesn't wait for you. The same trigger can feed your email tool, which sends you a message the moment the lead arrives, since the trigger is instant. You answer while the tenant is still looking.

A contact ready in your CRM. Point the Zap at your CRM instead, and every person who enquires shows up as a contact you can follow up on, next to the rest of your relationships.

What Zapier won't do here. Liv has no action and no search on Zapier. A Zap can't write anything back into Liv, can't update a listing, and can't look up an earlier lead. Liv only speaks first; what happens next lives in other apps. To see how Zapier compares, try Make vs Zapier or our Zapier review.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words from the editor, in plain English. The rest of the page uses them without a reminder.

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. With Liv, that event is a new lead on one of your listings.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you. With Liv, it always runs in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully; your plan counts those and nothing else.
Polling vs instant
Polling: Zapier checks an app on a timer. Instant: the app tells Zapier itself, the moment it happens. Liv's trigger is instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when the incoming data meets the condition you set, and stops it there otherwise.
Connection
Your Liv account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that starts from a Liv lead.
Multi-step Zap
Anything beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action turns a Zap into one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What it really costs

Zapier bills tasks, and Liv itself never costs one: the trigger is free, only the actions in other apps count.

  • Premium appNo, it works on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
  • Steps per Zap on Free2: the trigger, one action
  • Cost of the trigger0 tasks

New Lead Received starts the Zap at no cost. Each action that succeeds afterwards counts as one task; one that fails isn't counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, and two steps per Zap: the Liv trigger plus one action. Add a filter or a second action and you need a paid plan. The interval grid below is Zapier's standard one for polling triggers; it does not apply to Liv, whose only trigger is instant on every plan.

Connect

Connect Liv to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In Zapier, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Liv account already, plus access to any listing you don't own but want the Zap to hear about.

  2. 02

    Pick Liv

    Type Liv in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Liv side so you can finish linking the two accounts.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to Liv in that tab and grant Zapier access to your account. The connection then appears on the Apps page, and every Zap that starts from a Liv lead reuses it.

First Zap

Your first Zap: every Liv lead logged in a spreadsheet

GoalEach time a new lead comes in on one of your listings, add a row with its details to your spreadsheet, then send yourself an email.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and set the trigger

    Start a new Zap, choose Liv as the app that starts it and New Lead Received as the event. Pick your Liv connection when Zapier asks for it.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of your account, so you map the next steps on a real enquiry instead of a blank one.

  3. 03

    Add the spreadsheet row

    Add your spreadsheet as the first action and map the lead details to its columns. Map only what you will use; the test lead shows you what Liv actually sends.

  4. 04

    Add the email

    Click the plus icon and add your email tool as a second action. Two actions make the Zap multi-step, so this one needs a paid plan; drop it to stay on Free.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step, check the new row and the email, then click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on, each lead runs through it.

Triggers

The Liv trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Liv, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Lead Received

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there's a new Lead for a listing.”

New Lead Received starts your Zap whenever someone enquires about one of your listings, and hands the lead details to the steps that follow.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
you want each enquiry to reach the tool where you actually work, while the tenant is still waiting for an answer.
Watch out
leads received before the Zap is switched on are never sent, so test with a fresh enquiry if the three samples Zapier brings back don't match what you expect.
When it breaks

When it breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Liv, so the failures you might meet are Zapier's general ones.

Three cases matter with this trigger. None is specific to Liv, and each one can make you miss a lead or a reply. If one of them blocks you, our Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.

  • Older leads never arrive

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Enquiries that came in before stay in Liv; moving that history elsewhere is a separate job.

  • A burst of leads gets held back

    When a trigger suddenly sends a huge batch at once, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back instead of running them.

  • The free plan stops at two steps

    The free plan stops at two steps: the Liv trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, and it then needs a paid plan to run.

FAQ

Liv and Zapier: common questions

01Is the Liv Zapier integration free?
Yes. Liv is not a premium app, so it works on Zapier's free plan. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: the Liv trigger and one action in another app. Sending each lead to a spreadsheet fits exactly. Add a second action, such as an email to yourself, or a filter, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. There are no prices here on purpose: Zapier changes its grids too often.
02How many tasks does a Liv Zap use?
Liv itself never uses any. The New Lead Received trigger is free; only the actions that run afterwards in other apps count, one task each when they succeed. A lead that goes to a spreadsheet costs one task. If the same Zap also sends you an email, each lead costs two. An action that fails isn't counted. Check your count after publishing, since a few apps and actions take more than one task when they complete.
03Is Liv on Zapier real time?
Yes. New Lead Received is an instant trigger: Liv tells Zapier the moment a lead arrives, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The interval grid that slows polling triggers on the free plan doesn't apply to it. In the editor, a lightning bolt on the trigger confirms it. Keep in mind that the Zap only sees leads that arrive after you switch it on, not the ones already waiting in Liv.
04What does it take to connect Liv to Zapier?
A Liv account and a Zapier account, plus access to any listing you don't own but want the Zap to hear about. From the Apps page in Zapier, add a connection, pick Liv, sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. You do it once. Every Zap that starts from a Liv lead then reuses that connection, so connect the account that actually receives the leads for your listings.
05Why don't older Liv leads show up in Zapier?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Leads that arrived before you published it stay in Liv and are never sent to Zapier. When you test the trigger, Zapier brings back three recent leads so you can map the fields, but those samples don't run through the published Zap. If you need the older enquiries in your spreadsheet or CRM, moving that backlog is a separate job.
06What if the Liv operation you need isn't there?
Then Zapier can't do it with Liv today. The integration offers a single trigger, New Lead Received, and nothing else: no action to write into Liv, no search to look up an earlier lead, no step to change a listing. Note the exact operation you're missing, check whether another automation tool covers it, and test it on a harmless listing first. If nothing does, that part of the work stays manual for now.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Liv?
Choose on criteria, not on a ranking. Operations first: on Zapier, Liv only sends new leads, so check whether the other tools offer what you're missing. Speed next: on Zapier, the Liv trigger is instant on every plan, so a lead never waits for a check. Billing last: Zapier counts each successful action as a task, and the trigger costs nothing. Weigh those three against how you handle your own enquiries.
