Overview

What the Magnetly Zapier integration actually does

Magnetly builds free micro-tools that pull in leads or traffic for your website. The Zapier side is narrow and useful: each time one of those tools captures a lead, Magnetly tells Zapier straight away, and a Zap (the automation you build on Zapier) carries that lead into another app you already use.

Three results people build with it, all starting from the single New Lead trigger. A running log: every lead becomes a row in a spreadsheet, so you stop exporting lists by hand. A heads-up for the team: the lead is posted in your team chat, and whoever is on duty sees it without opening Magnetly. A contact that is ready to nurture: the lead goes into your email tool, where your follow-up sequence takes over.

Now the honest part. Zapier offers no action and no search for Magnetly. So a Zap can read what Magnetly sends out, but it cannot write anything back into Magnetly, cannot build or edit a micro-tool, and cannot look up a lead that already exists. Leads captured before your Zap was switched on are not picked up either. Treat the integration as a one-way door: Magnetly hands each new lead out, and the rest of your tools do the work from there.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words come back all through this page. Here they are in plain English, once.

Zap
The automation you build 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. Here it is a new lead in Magnetly; once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completed successfully, and your plan counts those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens, so nothing waits.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Magnetly account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step and every Zap that needs Magnetly.
Cost

What a Magnetly Zap really costs

Magnetly is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. The bill is counted in tasks, and the trigger is never one of them.

  • New Lead trigger0 tasks
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, 2-step Zaps
  • Premium appNo

A new lead arriving costs nothing. Each action that succeeds after it costs one task; a failed action is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two steps per Zap: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is how often Zapier checks polling triggers on each plan. It does not apply here: New Lead is instant on every plan.

Connect

Connect Magnetly to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Magnetly account first, plus access to anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Pick Magnetly

    Type Magnetly in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the Magnetly side, where the rest happens.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Magnetly in that tab and allow Zapier to reach your account. The connection now appears in your list, and every future Magnetly step reuses it instead of asking again.

First Zap

Your first Zap: every qualifying lead logged in a spreadsheet

GoalKeep a clean log of the leads you care about: when Magnetly captures one that passes your filter, add it as a row to your spreadsheet.

  1. 01

    Build the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose Magnetly as the app and New Lead as the event, then select the Magnetly connection you added in the previous block.

  2. 02

    Test with a real lead

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of your account, so you pick a real one and map real data in the next steps.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    From the plus icon, add Filter. Set the field to look at, the rule and the value. Use a text rule on text and a number rule on numbers, or it never passes. Many filters fail for that reason alone.

  4. 04

    Add the spreadsheet step

    Add your spreadsheet as the action and map the lead details into the columns. A filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run each step once and read what came back. When the row looks right, click Publish: from then on, each new lead that passes the filter is logged.

Triggers

The Magnetly trigger

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

1

New Lead

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new lead is created.”

Fires each time one of your Magnetly micro-tools records a new lead, and passes that lead to the steps of your Zap so another app can use it.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
any time a lead should leave Magnetly and land somewhere your team already works, a spreadsheet, a chat or an email tool.
Watch out
it is the only Magnetly operation on Zapier, so every Zap with Magnetly starts here and none can write back into Magnetly.
When it breaks

When a Magnetly Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Magnetly, and the app page lists no limit of its own. What goes wrong comes from how Zapier itself works.

Four situations explain most surprises. Knowing them in advance saves most of the debugging. If you get stuck anyway, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.

  • Old leads never show up

    A Zap only reacts to leads captured after it was switched on. Anything collected earlier is not replayed, and moving it is a separate job.

  • A sudden wave of leads is held

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

  • The Zap will not publish on Free

    The free plan allows one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action turns the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan.

  • A step failed and nothing was billed

    An action that does not go through is not counted as a task. The lead did not reach the other app either, so read what the step returned.

FAQ

Magnetly Zapier integration: frequent questions

01Is the Magnetly Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free plan because Magnetly is not a premium app. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and as many Zaps as you like. The catch is size: each Zap is limited to two steps, one trigger and one action. A New Lead trigger feeding one spreadsheet or one chat fits that perfectly. The moment you add a filter or a second action, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan. The free plan also excludes premium apps, so check the app you send leads to.
02How many tasks does a Magnetly Zap use?
The trigger itself never costs a task, so a new lead arriving is free. What counts is each action that completes successfully after it. A Zap with one action uses one task per lead; a Zap with three actions uses three. An action that fails is not counted. Looking for new data costs nothing either, however often Zapier checks. A few apps and a few actions take more than one task when they complete, so read the step of the app you send leads to before you size your plan.
03Does Magnetly reach Zapier in real time?
Yes. New Lead is an instant trigger: the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. That matters on the free plan, where polling triggers are only checked every 15 minutes; that wait does not apply here. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. The type is decided by the app itself, so it cannot be switched from Zapier, and you have nothing to set.
04What do you need to connect Magnetly to Zapier?
A Magnetly account, plus access to anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch. In Zapier, open Apps, click + Add connection, search for Magnetly, click Add connection, sign in to Magnetly in the tab that opens and grant access. The connection is then reused by every Magnetly step, in every Zap, so you do it once. To check it worked, build a New Lead trigger and run its test: Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of the account.
05Will Zapier pick up the leads Magnetly collected before the Zap was on?
No. A Zap only ever reacts to what happens after it is switched on. The leads your micro-tools collected earlier stay in Magnetly and are not replayed, even if you test the trigger: the test only brings back the three most recent leads so you can map fields on a real one. Moving the backlog is a separate job. Plan it before you publish, so your spreadsheet or email tool does not start with a gap you only notice later.
06What if the Magnetly step you want is not on Zapier?
Then it does not exist on Zapier today, because the editor only offers what the Magnetly app page lists: one trigger, New Lead, with no action and no search. In practice, a Zap cannot create or edit a micro-tool, write into Magnetly or look up an existing lead. Everything starts from a new lead and flows outward. If you need more than that, look at the Magnetly page of the other tool you are weighing, since each tool publishes its own list of operations.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Magnetly?
Decide by criterion, not by ranking. On Zapier, Magnetly offers a single instant trigger that runs on the free plan, as long as each Zap stays at one trigger and one action. Billing is per successful action, so count how many steps each lead will go through. Then weigh where your other apps are already connected and which editor your team will maintain. Magnetly also has a Make integration page, so you can compare the operations each tool exposes before you commit.
