Overview

What the Mailmeteor Zapier integration does for you

The Mailmeteor Zapier integration passes what happens to your Mailmeteor emails (opens, clicks, replies, bounces) to your other tools through Zapier. A Zap (the automation you build on Zapier) starts on one of those events and then acts in another app, every time it happens again.

Three results come up first. Replies that reach the right person: Email Replied posts each answer in your team chat, so nobody has to watch the inbox to know a prospect wrote back. A do-not-contact list that keeps itself: Email Unsubscribed writes each person who used the unsubscribe link into a spreadsheet the rest of the team checks. A cleaner address book: Email Bounced logs every address that bounced, ready to be fixed or dropped.

What Zapier does not do here is equally plain. Mailmeteor offers triggers only: no action, so a Zap cannot send, schedule or edit a Mailmeteor email, and no search, so it cannot look one up. The emails you sent before switching a Zap on are never replayed. And for opens and clicks, only Email First Open and Email First Click are described as firing on the first time; pick those when one run per reader is enough.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words carry this page. Each is explained here once, then used as is.

Zap
The automation you build: 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. Mailmeteor offers eleven of them, all about what happens to your emails.
Action
What the Zap does once started. With Mailmeteor, the action always happens in another app, since Mailmeteor has none.
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 it happens.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Mailmeteor account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that starts from Mailmeteor.
Cost

What Mailmeteor costs you in Zapier tasks

Mailmeteor is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. Zapier bills in tasks, and only successful actions count.

  • Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
  • Free plan limitTwo steps: one trigger, one action
  • Premium appNo, Mailmeteor runs on the free plan
  • Mailmeteor triggers11 instant, 0 polling

The Mailmeteor trigger never costs a task; the action that follows it in another app does, once per success, and a failed action is not counted. Three actions behind one trigger use three times what one action uses. The free plan stops at two steps, one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is for polling triggers: it does not apply to the eleven Mailmeteor triggers, which are all instant.

Connect

Connect Mailmeteor 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 Mailmeteor account first, plus access to anything in it you do not own yourself but want a Zap to watch.

  2. 02

    Pick Mailmeteor

    Type Mailmeteor in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Mailmeteor side, where you sign in to your account.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Mailmeteor in that tab and let Zapier use the account. The connection then shows on the Apps page, and every later Zap reuses it without asking again.

First Zap

Your first Mailmeteor Zap

GoalEach reply to one of your Mailmeteor emails posts a message in your team chat, so whoever handles the conversation sees it without watching the inbox.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap, choose Mailmeteor as the app that starts it and pick Email Replied as the event, then select your connection.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent replies of the account, so you map the next step on a real one rather than a blank sample.

  3. 03

    Add the chat action

    Add the action of your team chat, pick the channel, then drop the details of the replied email from Mailmeteor into the message text.

  4. 04

    Test the message

    Run the action test once and open the channel. If the message shows the right email and recipient, the mapping is done and you can move on.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on each reply posts one message, and that message counts as one task. Nothing else to set.

Triggers

Mailmeteor triggers

11 events start a Zap when something happens in Mailmeteor, and 11 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Email Bounced

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email bounces.”

Fires when one of your emails bounces back instead of being delivered. The Zap learns which address it was, so a bad contact does not stay in your lists for the next 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
you want every bounced address logged where your team cleans up contacts.
Watch out
a bounce is not the same event as Email Failed, which covers a send that did not go out.
2

Email Clicked

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a link in an email is clicked.”

A click on a link in one of your emails is enough to start it. Unlike Email First Click, nothing in its description limits it to the first click, so it suits Zaps that care about clicks as such.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
each click matters on its own, for example to count visits from a campaign link in a sheet.
Watch out
every run feeds the action behind it, and each successful action is a task; if one run per reader is enough, Email First Click is the narrower choice.
3

Email Created

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is created.”

Goes off when an email is created in Mailmeteor. Sending is a separate event with its own trigger, so this one tells you that a message now exists, not that it went out.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
you keep a register of every email prepared in Mailmeteor, sent or not.
Watch out
to log what really went out, use Email Sent instead.
4

Email Failed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email sending fails.”

Tells your Zap that Mailmeteor tried to send an email and the sending failed. The recipient got nothing, so this is the event to catch if a failed send must not go unnoticed.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a failed send should alert the person in charge of the campaign straight away, in a channel they actually read.
Watch out
it covers sending failures, not addresses that bounce afterwards; pair it with Email Bounced for a full picture.
5

Email First Click

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is clicked for the first time.”

Starts the Zap only the first time a recipient clicks in a given email. Later clicks on that same email are ignored, which keeps one person to one run.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a click signals interest and you want one follow-up per person, not one per click.
Watch out
once used, the first click is spent; a later click on that same email will not start anything.
6

Email First Open

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is opened for the first time.”

Fires the first time a recipient opens an email, and stays quiet on every later open of that email. One reader, one event.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
you want to mark a contact as having read your message, once, in another tool.
Watch out
Email Opened is not limited to the first open in its description; stay on this one when a single event per reader is all you need.
7

Email Followed-Up

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is followed-up.”

Reports that a follow-up went out on one of your emails. It lets your other tools know that a contact received a further message in the sequence.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
your contact history lives elsewhere and should show each follow-up next to the first email.
Watch out
it reflects follow-ups Mailmeteor sends; a Zap cannot trigger a follow-up itself, since the app has no action.
8

Email Opened

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is opened.”

An open of one of your emails sets this one off. Its description, unlike that of Email First Open, does not stop at the first time, which makes it the trigger for Zaps that track opens as such.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
repeated opens are a signal you want to measure, for example in a running count.
Watch out
each run of the action behind it costs a task; when only the first open matters, Email First Open is the narrower version.
9

Email Replied

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is replied to.”

Fires when a recipient answers one of your Mailmeteor emails. That is usually the event that matters most in a campaign, and the Zap gets the email it concerns.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a reply should land where your team works, a chat channel or a shared sheet, instead of staying in one inbox.
Watch out
only replies received after the Zap is published come through.
10

Email Sent

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an email is sent.”

Goes off each time Mailmeteor actually sends one of your emails. It is the proof that a message left, which is what most logs need.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
another tool must record every email that went out, with its recipient, for a full contact history.
Watch out
each email sent runs the Zap once, so a large campaign means as many runs, and as many tasks, as emails; check your allowance first.
11

Email Unsubscribed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a user uses the unsubscribe link in an email.”

Reacts when someone uses the unsubscribe link in one of your emails. The Zap knows who asked to stop, which is exactly what your other tools need to respect 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
people who opt out must disappear from the lists kept outside Mailmeteor too.
Watch out
only unsubscribes that happen after the Zap is published reach it, so older ones need a separate cleanup.
When it breaks

When the Mailmeteor Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to Mailmeteor and no app-specific limit is documented. The traps below are the ones any Zap can hit, applied to an app made of triggers.

Most surprises come from what the Zap cannot see, or from a Zap that feeds itself. If a Zap still misbehaves, open our Zapier troubleshooting page next.

  • Older emails are never replayed

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Opens, replies or bounces on emails from before never reach it; that backlog is a separate job.

  • Opens and clicks: pick the right version

    Email First Open and Email First Click are the versions described as firing on the first time only. Email Opened and Email Clicked carry no such limit, so weigh their task cost first.

  • A big send held back

    When a trigger suddenly receives a huge batch, as a large campaign can produce, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back instead of firing them all.

  • A test with nothing to show

    Testing a trigger brings back the three most recent items of the account. With no recent reply or bounce yet, there is nothing to map: create a real event first.

FAQ

Mailmeteor Zapier integration FAQ

01Is the Mailmeteor Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free Zapier plan, since Mailmeteor is not a premium app. The free plan gives 100 tasks per month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. A Zap that waits for Email Replied and posts in your team chat fits inside that. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan, so keep your first Zaps simple.
02How many tasks does a Mailmeteor Zap use?
None for the Mailmeteor trigger, and one for each action that succeeds in the other app. A Zap that logs every Email Sent in a sheet uses one task per email sent, so a large campaign uses as many tasks as it has recipients. A failed action is not counted. Some apps and actions take more than one task, so keep your monthly allowance in mind before you switch the Zap on.
03Is Mailmeteor on Zapier real time?
Yes, for all eleven triggers. Each one is instant: Mailmeteor tells Zapier the moment the event happens, and the Zap starts right away whatever your plan. The plan intervals, such as 15 minutes on Free, only concern polling triggers, and Mailmeteor has none. In the editor, an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt, which is the quickest way to confirm it before you publish anything. No setting needed. All eleven behave the same way.
04What do you need to connect Mailmeteor to Zapier?
A Mailmeteor account you can sign in to, and access to anything in it you do not own but want the Zap to watch. In Zapier, open Apps, click + Add connection, search for Mailmeteor, click Add connection, then sign in to Mailmeteor in the tab that opens and grant access. The connection is saved once and reused by every Zap that starts from Mailmeteor afterwards. Nothing to repeat later. The connection stays available.
05Email Opened or Email First Open: which one should you pick?
Email First Open, whenever one event per reader is enough. Its description is explicit: it fires when an email is opened for the first time. Email Opened is described more broadly, as firing when an email is opened, with no first-time limit, so keep it for cases where the opens themselves are what you want to track. Each run of the action behind either trigger costs a task, which is why the narrower one is the safer start. The same choice exists between Email Clicked and Email First Click.
06What if the Mailmeteor operation isn't in the list?
The editor offers eleven triggers and nothing else: no action and no search. So a Zap can react to what happens to your emails, but it cannot send, schedule or edit a Mailmeteor email, nor look one up. The action always takes place in another app. If the need is to send from Mailmeteor through a Zap, the honest answer is that Zapier cannot do it today, and another route needs studying before you build.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Mailmeteor?
It depends on three criteria, not on a winner. First, the ready connector: Zapier offers Mailmeteor with the eleven triggers of this page, so check the other tool's catalog before comparing the rest. Second, billing: Zapier counts one task per successful action, and with Email Sent or Email Opened the volume follows your campaigns. Third, how many steps your flows need, since the free Zapier plan stops at two. Weigh those three against your own flows before you pick.
