Overview

Why connect LuzardoFax to Zapier

LuzardoFax sends and receives faxes online, and it is built for teams that handle confidential documents, such as clinics and law offices. Zapier plugs it into the rest of your tools through a Zap: an automation that starts on one event, then runs one or more steps every time that event happens. Here, every event is something that happens to a fax.

Five triggers follow a fax through its whole life, from the moment it comes in to the moment it reaches, or misses, the people it was meant for. Three results come out of that again and again.

A failure nobody misses. Fax Failed posts a message in your team chat, so the person who sent the document hears about it while there is still time to resend it. A delivery log you can show. Fax Delivered adds a row to a spreadsheet for every outbound fax that reached all its recipients, which gives you one place to check what went through. Incoming faxes that land in a queue. Fax Received opens a task in your task manager, so a new document is picked up instead of sitting in an inbox.

Now what Zapier does not do with this app. It cannot send a fax for you: there is no action, so no Zap dispatches a document, retries a failed one or changes anything in LuzardoFax. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up an older fax. Information leaves LuzardoFax, it never goes back in. Zapier also lists the app as beta, so test each Zap on a real fax before you trust it with paperwork that matters.

Vocabulary

The Zapier words you need, in one minute

Seven terms come back throughout this page. Here is each one, once, in plain English.

Trigger
The event in an app that starts a Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for that event and does nothing before it.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you in another tool.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. Your plan's allowance is a count of those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items and keeping only the ones it has not seen yet.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, calling Zapier the moment the event happens. All five LuzardoFax triggers work this way.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap carry on only if what arrived matches the condition you set, and stops it there otherwise.
Connection
Your LuzardoFax account, linked to Zapier once and then reused by every Zap that starts from it.
Cost

What it really costs

Listening to LuzardoFax is free. A trigger never costs a task, however many faxes come and go. You only pay for the actions your Zap completes in other tools.

  • TriggersFree, never counted as tasks
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps per Zap
  • Premium appNo, available on the free plan

Each action that succeeds counts once, so a Zap with three actions uses three times what a one-action Zap uses, and an action that fails is not counted. LuzardoFax is not a premium app: it works on the free plan, which allows Zaps of two steps, a trigger and one action. Add a filter, a search or a second action and it becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is how often Zapier checks polling triggers; it does not apply to the five LuzardoFax triggers, which are all instant.

Connect

Connect LuzardoFax to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open Apps

    In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. Type LuzardoFax in the search box of the dialog and pick it. You need a LuzardoFax account before you start.

  2. 02

    Sign in to LuzardoFax

    Click Add connection. A tab opens on LuzardoFax: sign in with the account that sends and receives your faxes. If some fax lines belong to a colleague, check that your account can read them.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Approve the access Zapier asks for. The tab closes and the connection appears in your Apps list, ready for every Zap that starts on LuzardoFax without signing in again.

First Zap

Your first Zap: a chat alert for every failed fax

GoalWhen an outbound fax fails in LuzardoFax, post a message in your team chat so someone resends it.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap from your Zapier account. The editor opens on an empty trigger card, because every Zap begins with the event that sets it off.

  2. 02

    Pick the trigger

    Search LuzardoFax, choose Fax Failed, then select the connection you just made. The editor shows a lightning bolt, the sign of an instant trigger.

  3. 03

    Test on a real fax

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of your account, so you map fields on an actual failed send rather than on a blank example.

  4. 04

    Write the alert

    Add your team chat as the action and build the message from the fax details the test returned, so the reader knows which send to redo without opening LuzardoFax.

  5. 05

    Test and publish

    Test the action and read the message it posted. If it looks right, click Publish: the Zap is on, and it stays within the two steps of the free plan.

Triggers

The five LuzardoFax triggers

5 events start a Zap when something happens in LuzardoFax, and 5 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Fax Delivered

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an outbound fax is delivered to all recipients.”

Starts your Zap once an outbound fax has reached every recipient on it. It is the clean confirmation: nothing is left pending, so the next step can record the send as done.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when you keep a log of documents that went out and want each completed send to add its own line.
Watch out
a fax that reaches only some recipients does not fire this trigger; it fires Fax Partially Delivered instead.
2

Fax Failed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an outbound fax fails to send.”

Wakes the Zap up when an outbound fax could not be sent. Without a Zap on it, the sender may believe a document went through when it did not, which makes it a good first Zap.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when the person who sent a document needs to hear about a failure through the tool they already watch.
Watch out
Zapier cannot resend the fax for you, since the app has no action; the Zap can only tell someone to do it.
3

Fax Partially Delivered

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a fax with multiple recipients is delivered to some but not all of them.”

Covers the in-between case: a fax sent to several recipients reached some of them but not all. That is easy to miss when you only watch for outright failures.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when you send one document to a list and someone has to follow up with whoever did not get it.
Watch out
it only concerns faxes addressed to more than one recipient, so a one-recipient workflow never sees it.
4

Fax Received

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new fax arrives in your LuzardoFax account.”

Fires on the incoming side: a new fax has arrived in your LuzardoFax account. It is the only trigger of the five that follows what others send you rather than what you send.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when incoming documents should turn into a to-do or a notice for whoever handles them.
Watch out
faxes that arrived before the Zap was published are never picked up.
5

Fax Sent

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an outbound fax is sent.”

Reacts as soon as an outbound fax leaves your account. It tells you the send happened, not how it ended: delivery, partial delivery and failure each have their own trigger.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when you want a trace of every document that went out, whatever happens to it next.
Watch out
on its own it cannot tell a delivered fax from a failed one, so pick one of the other outbound triggers when the outcome matters.
When it breaks

When it breaks

Zapier links no help article to LuzardoFax and records no limit specific to the app. What can go wrong comes from Zapier's general behaviour.

None of these cases shows up as a clear error, which is why they are worth reading before you publish. If a Zap still misbehaves, the Zapier troubleshooting page picks up from there.

  • Old faxes stay where they are

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Faxes from before are never picked up, and moving that history is a separate job.

  • A sudden batch is held back

    If a trigger returns a huge batch at once, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold the run back rather than fire for each fax.

  • The second step will not publish

    A filter, a search or a second action makes the Zap multi-step. On the free plan, only a trigger followed by one action can go live.

  • A filter that never passes

    Filter rules are typed: a text rule only works on text, a number rule only on numbers. Picking the wrong type is why a filter blocks everything.

FAQ

LuzardoFax Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the LuzardoFax Zapier integration free?
Yes. LuzardoFax is not a premium app, so its five triggers work on the Zapier free plan. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one LuzardoFax trigger and one action. If you want to alert your team and log the fax in the same Zap, or put a filter in between, you need a paid plan. You also need your own LuzardoFax account to connect, since Zapier only links an account you already have.
02How many tasks does a LuzardoFax Zap use?
The trigger uses none. Zapier never bills for listening to LuzardoFax, however many faxes go in or out. Each action that completes in another tool counts as one task, so a Zap that posts a chat message and adds a spreadsheet row uses two tasks per fax. A failed action is not counted. Each of your LuzardoFax Zaps counts its own tasks, so five Zaps, one per trigger, means five separate counts to keep an eye on.
03Do LuzardoFax triggers fire in real time?
Yes. All five are instant triggers: LuzardoFax tells Zapier as soon as a fax is received, sent, delivered, partly delivered or failed, and the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The interval grid that slows polling triggers on cheaper plans does not apply to any of them. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. For this app, the free plan reacts as fast as Enterprise does, with no check to wait for.
04What does it take to connect LuzardoFax to Zapier?
A LuzardoFax account, plus read access to any fax activity you want the Zap to follow that sits under someone else. In Zapier, open Apps, click + Add connection, search LuzardoFax and pick it, then click Add connection. A tab opens where you sign in to LuzardoFax and grant Zapier access. The connection is then reused by every LuzardoFax Zap you build, so you go through these steps only once. Check the account first: the Zap only sees what that login can see.
05Why didn't a LuzardoFax Zap fire for a fax sent to several people?
Because the trigger you picked probably does not match that outcome. A fax sent to several recipients that reached only some of them fires Fax Partially Delivered, not Fax Delivered and not Fax Failed. If your Zap listens to Fax Delivered alone, those half-finished sends go unnoticed. Since each Zap starts on one trigger, covering every outcome takes one Zap per trigger you care about, and each of them consumes its own tasks when its action completes.
06What if the operation you need is not in the LuzardoFax integration?
Then Zapier cannot do it for this app today. The integration offers five triggers and nothing else: no action to send or resend a fax, and no search to find an older one. The workable route is to treat LuzardoFax as the starting point, pass each fax event to a tool that has the actions you are after, and do the work there. Sending documents still happens inside LuzardoFax itself, outside the Zap.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for LuzardoFax?
It depends on your criteria, not on a ranking. On Zapier, LuzardoFax comes with five ready-made instant triggers, the shortest path when the goal is to turn fax events into alerts, tasks or logs elsewhere. The criteria worth weighing are which tools list LuzardoFax at all, how each one bills a run, and which editor your team is most comfortable in. This page covers the Zapier side only and makes no claim about LuzardoFax support on Make or n8n.
