What the Lucky Orange Zapier integration actually does
The integration links your Lucky Orange account to Zapier so that one thing happening in an app sets off another thing somewhere else, without you copying anything by hand. On the Lucky Orange side it can notice a new event on a site, record an event of its own, and tell Lucky Orange who a visitor is.
Three results you can build with it. First, a running log of the events you care about: New Event watches one event name on one site, and every new occurrence becomes a row in your spreadsheet tool. Second, events that come from outside the site: Create Event writes an event into Lucky Orange when something happens in another app, so your analytics also sees what happened off the page. Third, visitors with a name instead of an anonymous ID: Identify Visitor tells Lucky Orange who a visitor is, using information another tool already holds.
What Zapier does not do for Lucky Orange: it has no search step for this app, so a Zap cannot look up an existing visitor or event before acting. It cannot touch heatmaps, session recordings or chat either, because no operation for them is offered. And the only trigger works by polling, so nothing arrives the instant it happens (more on that in the cost section).
If you are still choosing a tool, read the n8n vs Zapier comparison before you build.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on 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. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for that event and nothing else.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something in an app on your behalf.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills you for. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets a condition you set, and stops it quietly otherwise.
- Search step
- A step that looks up something already stored in an app so later steps can use it. Lucky Orange offers none on Zapier.
What a Lucky Orange Zap really costs
Lucky Orange is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The trigger never costs a task, and neither does Zapier checking for new events, however often it looks.
- Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan Zap sizeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- Premium appNo, works on the free plan
- Trigger costZero tasks, checks included
Only a successful action is billed: each Create Event or Identify Visitor that goes through counts as one task, and one that fails counts for nothing. The free plan stops at two steps, one trigger and one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The grid below shows how often Zapier checks New Event for new items, depending on the plan you are on.
Connect Lucky Orange to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open your connections
In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A connection is your Lucky Orange account linked once, then reused by every step that needs it.
- 02
Pick Lucky Orange
Type Lucky Orange in the search box of the dialog, select it from the results, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the Lucky Orange side.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in to Lucky Orange in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. You need a Lucky Orange account, plus access to any site you do not own yourself and want the Zap to work on.
Your first Zap: log every new Lucky Orange event
GoalEach time a chosen event happens on your site and passes your condition, add a row to your spreadsheet so the team can read the list without opening Lucky Orange.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap and pick Lucky Orange as the app that starts it, with
New Eventas the trigger event. Choose the connection you added earlier. - 02
Set and test the trigger
Pick the Site, then the Event Name to watch, both required. Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent matching events, so you map the next steps on a real one.
- 03
Add the filter
Add a Filter step from the plus icon and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, and the value. Pick a text rule for text and a number rule for numbers.
- 04
Add the spreadsheet action
Add your spreadsheet tool as the action, choose the step that creates a row, and map the event details from Lucky Orange into the columns you want.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test the action once and check the row. Then click Publish. With a filter, this is a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan; each row created costs one task.
The Lucky Orange trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Lucky Orange. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Event
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new event is detected in Lucky Orange.”
This trigger starts your Zap whenever a new occurrence of one named event is detected on one of your Lucky Orange sites. You pick the site and the event name once, and the Zap reacts to that pair only, which keeps unrelated activity out of your other tools.
The 2 Lucky Orange actions
Lucky Orange gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Event
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new event within Lucky Orange.”
Writes a new event into Lucky Orange from whatever started the Zap, so something that happened in another tool shows up next to the activity Lucky Orange already records on your site.
Identify Visitor
ActionIn Zapier“Identifies a visitor within Lucky Orange.”
Tells Lucky Orange who a visitor is, using details another app already holds, so Lucky Orange knows who that person is instead of seeing an anonymous visitor.
When a Lucky Orange Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Lucky Orange, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What breaks is what breaks on every Zap.
Four cases come up again and again. None of them is visible while you build the Zap, so they are worth knowing before you publish it. When one of them hits, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the place to start.
Old events are never picked up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Events that already existed in Lucky Orange stay where they are, and moving that backlog is a separate job.The Zap that feeds itself
A Zap that creates an event matching the very event its own trigger watches sets itself off again and again, and burns through your task count fast.A sudden flood of events
When the trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, for example after a bulk import, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back instead of running them all.Duplicates are filtered out
Zapier keeps track of the events it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same event will not start the Zap twice, even if it shows up again.
