What the Live Data Technologies Zapier integration does
The Live Data Technologies Zapier integration links your Live Data account, a service that watches the open web and flags when your B2B contacts move to a new job, to Zapier, a tool that makes apps work together without code. Zapier can react to those job changes and to new ledgers, and it can add contacts to a ledger for you.
A log of who moved where. Contact Job Change Detected starts the Zap when someone in your ledger takes a new job, and the move lands as a row in your spreadsheet. No more emailing someone at a company they left.
An alert for whoever owns the relationship. The same trigger can feed your email tool, so the person in charge of that contact hears about the move and can reach out.
Contacts tracked from the moment you meet them. A new contact in your CRM starts a Zap, and Create a Contact adds that person to a Live Data ledger, so their job changes get watched from then on, with nobody retyping anything.
What Zapier won't do here. There's no search, so a Zap can't check whether a contact is already in a ledger before adding it. Nothing removes a contact from a ledger or edits one either. And both triggers work by polling, so nothing reaches Zapier instantly. To compare tools, see n8n vs Zapier or Make vs Zapier.
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. Live Data offers two: a job change in a ledger, and a new ledger.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or creates something for you, like a contact in a ledger.
- 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 the app on a timer and keeps only what's new. Instant: the app tells Zapier itself. Both Live Data triggers poll.
- 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 Live Data account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Live Data step of every Zap.
- 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.
What it really costs
Zapier bills tasks. With Live Data, the triggers are free and only completed actions count.
- Premium appNo, it works on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Steps per Zap on Free2: one trigger, one action
- Cost of a trigger0 tasks
Contact Job Change Detected and Get All Ledgers never cost a task, however often Zapier checks. Each action that succeeds, Create a Contact or a step in another app, 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: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and you need a paid plan. Both Live Data triggers work by polling, so the grid below sets how often Zapier looks, plan by plan.
Connect Live Data Technologies to Zapier in 3 steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In Zapier, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Live Data account already, plus access to any ledger you don't own but want the Zap to read or fill.
- 02
Pick Live Data Technologies
Search Live Data Technologies by name in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Live Data side to finish linking the two.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Live Data in that tab and grant Zapier access to your account. The connection then appears on the Apps page, and every Live Data step you build reuses it.
Your first Zap: an email when a key contact changes jobs
GoalWhen Live Data spots a job change in your ledger, email the person who owns the relationship, but only for contacts that pass your filter.
- 01
Create the Zap and set the trigger
Start a new Zap, choose Live Data Technologies as the app that starts it and Contact Job Change Detected as the event. Pick your connection, then fill in the Ledger ID.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent job changes in that ledger, so you map the next steps on a real move instead of a blank record.
- 03
Add the filter
Click the plus icon, add Filter and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value to compare with. This makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add the email
Add your email tool as the action and write the message with the details of the job change. Keep the contact's name in the subject so the alert is easy to spot.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test the action and check that the email arrived. If it reads right, click Publish to switch the Zap on for every job change that follows.
The Live Data Technologies triggers
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Live Data Technologies. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
Contact Job Change Detected
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when Live Data detects a contact has a new job.”
When Live Data notices that a contact in one of your ledgers has a new job, this trigger starts the Zap and passes the details of the move along.
Get All Ledgers
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new ledger is detected in the org.”
Get All Ledgers starts a Zap whenever a new ledger shows up in your Live Data organisation, and hands over that ledger's details, ID included.
The Live Data Technologies action
Live Data Technologies gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create a Contact
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new contact to track on your ledger”
Create a Contact adds a person to one of your Live Data ledgers, so their job changes get tracked from then on.
When it breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Live Data Technologies, so the failures you might meet are Zapier's general ones.
Four cases come up with this pair. None is specific to Live Data, and each one can cost you an alert or a pile of tasks. If one of them blocks you, our Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.
Earlier job changes never arrive
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Job changes spotted before stay in Live Data; moving that history elsewhere is a separate job.A loop drains your tasks
A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches sets itself off again and again. Keep Create a Contact away from whatever starts that same Zap.A bulk import gets held back
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after you load a large list of contacts for instance, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back.One change, one run
On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same job change never starts the Zap twice, even if it still shows on later checks.
