Maildrip Zapier integrationAutomate Maildrip with Zapier.
The Maildrip Zapier integration gives you 2 triggers, 2 actions and 0 searches. Enough to feed a drip campaign from your other tools, or to react when someone lands on a recipient list, provided you know what each step costs and where it trips.

What the Maildrip Zapier integration actually does
The Maildrip Zapier integration links your Maildrip account to the other apps you use, through Zapier. A Zap (the automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions) watches Maildrip or another tool, then writes into the other side for you, with no copy and paste in between.
Three results come out of it. A recipient log outside Maildrip: New Recipient spots each person added to a given campaign, and the Zap copies them into a sheet or a CRM you already read. A campaign that fills itself: a sign-up captured somewhere else turns into Add a New Recipient, and the person enters the right drip sequence without anyone touching Maildrip. A contact book kept in sync: Create a New Contact pushes a name and an email into Maildrip, and can drop it straight into a group.
Now the part the app page skips. Maildrip offers no search step on Zapier, so a Zap cannot check whether someone already exists before adding them. Both triggers work by polling, never instantly, so how fast a Zap reacts depends on your plan. And there is no action to send an email or build a campaign: the sequences themselves stay inside Maildrip.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain terms, once, so the rest reads easily.
- Zap
- The automation itself: one trigger at the top, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap, here something happening in Maildrip. 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, such as adding a recipient.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. The number on your plan counts those, nothing else.
- Polling vs instant
- Polling means Zapier asks the app for new items at a fixed interval. Instant means the app tells Zapier the moment it happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets a condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Search step
- A step that looks up something that already exists in an app so later steps can reuse it. Maildrip has none on Zapier.
What a Maildrip Zap costs you
Maildrip is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. The bill depends on actions, not on how often Zapier looks.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
- BilledEach successful action
- Not billedThe trigger, the checks, failed actions
The trigger never costs a task, and neither do the checks Zapier runs to find new recipients. Each action that succeeds counts once, so a Zap with three actions uses three times more than a Zap with one. An action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only in two steps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan.
Connect your Maildrip account to Zapier
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps, then click + Add connection. A connection is your Maildrip account linked once, then reused by every step that needs it.
- 02
Find Maildrip and start
Type Maildrip in the search box of the dialog, pick it, then click Add connection. You need an existing Maildrip account: Zapier links one, it does not open one.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
A new tab opens on Maildrip. Sign in, then allow Zapier to reach the account. If the campaigns you plan to use belong to someone else, check that you have read or write access on them first.
Your first Zap: log every new Maildrip recipient
GoalEach time someone joins a chosen Maildrip campaign and passes a condition you set, a new row lands in your spreadsheet with their name and email, so the list lives where the rest of the team already works.
- 01
Create the Zap
Click to create a new Zap. The editor opens with an empty trigger slot at the top and an action slot underneath, ready to fill.
- 02
Set the trigger
Pick Maildrip, then the event New Recipient. Choose your Maildrip connection, then the campaign to watch in the Campaign field, which is required.
- 03
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent recipients of that campaign, so you can pick a real one to map from.
- 04
Add a filter, then the sheet
Click the plus icon, pick Filter and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value. Then add your spreadsheet's new-row action and map name and email. The filter makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test the action and open the sheet to check the row arrived with the right name and email. Then click Publish to switch the Zap on.
Maildrip triggers on Zapier
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Maildrip. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Recipient
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new recipient is added to your recipients' list.”
Starts the Zap each time a person is added to the recipient list of one campaign you pick. You get their details back as fields to map into the next step, whether that is a sheet, a CRM or a notification.
Get Contacts Groups
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Fetches all contacts groups”
Reads the list of contact groups in your Maildrip account. Like any polling trigger, it only keeps what Zapier has not seen yet, so a group already returned does not start the Zap again.
Maildrip actions on Zapier
Maildrip gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Add a New Recipient
ActionIn Zapier“Adds a recipient to the specified campaign's recipient list.”
Puts a person on the recipient list of a specific campaign, so they enter its drip sequence.
Create a New Contact
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a Contact and adds it to a group (if specified)”
Writes a new contact into your Maildrip account from data the Zap carries, and can place it in a group if you name one.
When a Maildrip Zap breaks
Zapier ties no help article to Maildrip, so the traps below are the ones every Zap shares. They still hit hard on a drip tool.
Most surprises come from what a Zap does not do rather than from an error message. Keep these four in mind before you publish, and see Zapier troubleshooting when a run goes wrong.
Old recipients are never picked up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Recipients already in a campaign stay out; moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that feeds itself
New Recipient on a campaign plus Add a New Recipient into that same campaign sets the Zap off again and again, and burns through your tasks.A bulk import gets held back
If a campaign suddenly receives a huge batch, after an import for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back instead of firing them all.The same recipient does not fire twice
Zapier remembers what a polling trigger already returned, so the same recipient never starts the Zap twice, even if it shows up on several checks.
