Overview

What the LoadProof Zapier integration really does

LoadProof is a photo documentation app: the pictures you take of a load end up stored online, ready to show to someone else. On Zapier it offers one thing: a signal when a new load record is created. Zapier picks that signal up and hands the record to the tools that come after it. The flow only goes one way, out of LoadProof.

A running log without retyping. Each new load record becomes a row in your spreadsheet, so the list of records lives where you already sort, count and share things with the rest of the team.

A record nobody misses. Instead of someone checking LoadProof by hand, the Zap passes each new record to the place your team reads first.

Only the records that matter. A filter between New Load Record and the next step lets through just the records that meet your condition, and the others cost nothing at all, since a filter that stops a run doesn't count as a task.

What Zapier doesn't do here: it can't put anything into LoadProof. There is no action, so no record is created, updated or shared from another app. It can't look up an older record either, since there is no search. And the trigger works by polling, so records arrive on Zapier's polling schedule, not when they're made. If you need more than that, weigh the options in our n8n vs Zapier comparison.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Seven terms you'll meet in the editor, in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build: 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. For LoadProof, that event is a new load record being created.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes or sends something. LoadProof has none, so actions live in other apps.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's monthly count is a count of those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, keeping only what it hasn't seen yet. New Load Record works this way.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, calling Zapier the moment the event happens. LoadProof doesn't offer one.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap carry on only when the incoming data meets your condition, and stops it otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action turns it into one, and it needs a paid plan.
Cost

What it really costs

LoadProof isn't a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. Zapier bills tasks, and a trigger is never one.

  • Premium appNo
  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Free plan Zap size2 steps
  • Cost of the trigger0 tasks

New Load Record costs nothing, however often Zapier checks for records. What you pay for is each action that succeeds in the next app; a failed one isn't counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps, one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan. Since the trigger is polling, the grid below decides how often new records are fetched.

Connect

Connect LoadProof to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. Have your LoadProof login ready, plus access to any records you don't own yourself but want the Zap to see.

  2. 02

    Pick LoadProof

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

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to LoadProof in that tab and allow Zapier to use the account. The connection then shows up in your list, ready for every Zap built on LoadProof.

First Zap

Your first Zap: load records into a spreadsheet

GoalEvery new LoadProof load record shows up as a row in your spreadsheet, with no copying by hand.

  1. 01

    Build: start with LoadProof

    Start a new Zap, pick LoadProof as the app and New Load Record as the event. Choose the LoadProof connection you just added in the previous section.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent load records of the account, so pick a real one to map the next steps from.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Add a Filter step from the plus icon and set its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value. Pick a rule that matches the field type. This makes the Zap multi-step, so a paid plan is needed.

  4. 04

    Add the spreadsheet step

    Choose your spreadsheet app and its create-row action, then map the record's values into the columns you want to keep. Test it once and read what came back.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on, Zapier checks LoadProof at your plan's interval and adds a row for each record it hasn't seen.

Triggers

LoadProof trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in LoadProof. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

New Load Record

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new Load Record is created.”

Starts your Zap whenever a new load record is created in LoadProof, and hands that record to the steps that follow. It is the only way LoadProof can take part in a Zap, so every automation built on this app begins here.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one.
When to use it
you want each new record logged, forwarded or announced somewhere else without anyone opening LoadProof to look.
Watch out
records created before the Zap is published never come through; only new ones do.
When it breaks

When it breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to LoadProof, so the cases below come from how Zapier itself behaves.

Four situations explain most surprises. None of them shows while you build; they appear once the Zap runs on its own. For a step-by-step method, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Old records stay behind

    The Zap only reacts to load records created after you publish it. Everything already in LoadProof is ignored; moving that history is a separate job.

  • A Zap that keeps setting itself off

    If a later step writes into the very place the trigger watches, the Zap fires again and again and burns through your task count fast.

  • Big batches held back

    When the trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those records back.

  • The same record never runs twice

    Zapier remembers which load records it has already seen on this polling trigger, so one record doesn't start the Zap a second time.

FAQ

LoadProof Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the LoadProof Zapier integration free?
Yes. LoadProof isn't a premium app, so it works on Zapier's free plan. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps: New Load Record as the trigger, then one action in another app, such as adding a row to a spreadsheet. As soon as you add a filter to keep only some records, or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan. On the free plan, Zapier also checks for new records less often than on paid ones.
02How many tasks does a LoadProof Zap use?
Only the actions that follow count. New Load Record itself never costs a task, and Zapier checking LoadProof for new records costs nothing either, however often it looks. Each action that succeeds in the next app counts as one task, while a failed one isn't counted. A Zap that adds a spreadsheet row and then sends a message uses two tasks per record. With three actions, every new record costs three tasks, so long chains add up quickly.
03Does LoadProof send records to Zapier in real time?
No. New Load Record is a polling trigger: Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan. That means every 15 minutes on Free, every 2 minutes on Professional and every minute on Team and Enterprise. LoadProof itself decides this, and it can't be switched in the editor. On paid plans you can change how often it checks, and also run a check by hand from the editor when you can't wait.
04What do you need to connect LoadProof?
A LoadProof account you can sign in to, plus access to any records you don't own but want the Zap to see. From the Apps page of Zapier, click + Add connection, search for LoadProof, click Add connection, sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. The connection is saved once and reused by every Zap that starts from LoadProof, so a second Zap doesn't ask you to sign in again.
05Why don't existing load records reach Zapier?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Records that were already in LoadProof when you published are never picked up, not even on the first check. Only new ones flow through. When you test the trigger, Zapier does show the three most recent records, but that is for mapping fields, not for sending them. If you need the older records elsewhere, moving that backlog is a separate job from the Zap.
06What if the LoadProof operation you want isn't offered?
Then this integration can't do it. Zapier offers exactly one LoadProof operation, the New Load Record trigger, with no action and no search. Nothing can be created, changed or shared inside LoadProof from another app, and an older record can't be looked up later in a Zap. Check the LoadProof page on Zapier before planning around a missing step: the list there is the one the editor shows, and it is the reference to trust.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for LoadProof?
Decide by criteria, not by brand. On Zapier the integration is ready-made, free to start and covers one need: getting new load records out of LoadProof. Make or n8n are worth a look if you need something this integration lacks, such as writing into LoadProof, but check on their side whether they connect to it at all. Then compare how often each tool can check for new records, how runs are billed, and who will maintain the automation.
