What the mallabe Currencies Zapier integration is for
The mallabe Currencies Zapier integration lets a Zap convert money from one currency to another, or pull exchange rates, without anyone looking them up by hand. Zapier is the service that links your apps: it waits for an event in one, then runs steps in others. mallabe Currencies can play both parts.
Three typical results. A converted amount: Convert Currency takes an amount, a starting currency and a target currency, and passes the converted figure to the next step. A set of current rates: Get Daily Rates returns the rates for one base currency, ready to be written into a sheet. A record of every conversion: Currency Converted starts a Zap each time mallabe reports a conversion, so the result can be logged or shared.
Now what Zapier does not do with this app. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up a conversion made earlier. The actions work on the amount and currencies you map into them and nothing else: if the amount arrives empty or in the wrong field, the conversion has nothing to work with. And a Zap never goes back in time, so amounts that existed before you switched it on are not converted.
The same app is covered on Make too, on the mallabe Currencies Make integration page. To compare the platforms themselves, see Make vs Zapier.
Zapier terms in one minute
Seven words come back across this page. Here they are once, in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it. mallabe Currencies has one: a currency converted.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or calculates something. mallabe Currencies offers two.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completed successfully. Your plan counts these and nothing else.
- Polling vs instant
- Zapier checks a polling trigger on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment it happens. mallabe Currencies is instant.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What mallabe Currencies costs in tasks
Each conversion or rate lookup is an action, so each one that succeeds is a task.
- Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan Zap sizeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- Premium appNo, it works on the free plan
- One conversionOne task when it succeeds
The trigger never uses a task. Every action that works counts as one; an action that fails is not counted. Converting an amount and then writing it to a sheet is two actions, so two tasks per run. mallabe Currencies is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan, in Zaps of two steps. A second action or a filter makes the Zap multi-step and needs a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns polling triggers only: it does not apply to the instant trigger of mallabe Currencies, though it does apply when another app's polling trigger starts the Zap.
Connect mallabe Currencies to Zapier
- 01
Go to your Apps page
In Zapier, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your mallabe account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that converts or fetches rates.
- 02
Select mallabe Currencies
Search for mallabe Currencies in the dialog, pick it and click Add connection. A new tab opens on the mallabe side so you can sign in there, not in Zapier.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log into your mallabe account in that tab and grant Zapier access. An account on the app is the prerequisite, plus access to anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch.
Your first Zap: log every mallabe conversion
GoalEach conversion reported by mallabe Currencies adds a row to your spreadsheet, so you keep a running record without copying anything.
- 01
Create the Zap and set the trigger
Start a new Zap, choose mallabe Currencies and the Currency Converted event, then select your connection. mallabe reports each conversion itself.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so you map fields from a real conversion rather than a guess.
- 03
Add the spreadsheet step
Add the new-row action of your spreadsheet tool and place the values that came from mallabe into the columns you want, such as the amount and the currencies.
- 04
Test the action
Run the action once and read what came back. Check that the new row holds the converted figure and not the original one before going further.
- 05
Publish
Click Publish. This two-step Zap fits the free plan, and each conversion then costs one task: the new row added to your sheet.
The mallabe Currencies trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in mallabe Currencies, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
Currency Converted
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a currency converted event occurred.”
Starts your Zap when mallabe reports that a currency conversion has taken place, and hands that event to the next step so another app can record it, share it or act on the converted amount.
The two mallabe Currencies actions
mallabe Currencies gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Convert Currency
ActionIn Zapier“Convert currencies automatically. Can be greatly used when you want to get the most current currency exchange in spreadsheets, You can also schedule a daily task to retrieve currency exchange for a specific currency.”
Turns an amount from one currency into another and passes the result to the following steps. You set the starting currency, the target currency and the amount, and all three are required.
Get Daily Rates
ActionIn Zapier“Get Daily Rates of Currencies. Can be greatly used when you want to get the most current currency exchange rates in spreadsheets, You can also schedule a daily task to retrieve currency exchange rates.”
Fetches the current exchange rates for one base currency and hands them to the next step, ready to be written into a sheet or a message. From / Base Currency is the only required field.
When a mallabe Currencies Zap breaks
Zapier links no help article to mallabe Currencies. The cases below come from the app's required fields and from the general rules of Zapier.
Most failures come from a missing value or a Zap that does more than the plan allows. Go through these before publishing. If something still goes wrong, see Zapier troubleshooting.
A required field is empty
Convert Currency needs a starting currency, a target currency and an amount. If the previous step leaves one of them blank, the action has nothing to work with.Older amounts are not converted
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Amounts already recorded stay as they are; converting them is a separate job.A Zap that sets itself off
If a Zap writes back into the place its own trigger watches, it starts itself again and again and burns through your task count.Large bursts can be held back
A trigger that suddenly sends a huge batch, after a bulk import for example, can be slowed down by Zapier's flood protection.
