MarketGo Zapier integrationAutomate MarketGo with Zapier.
MarketGo Zapier integration: 2 actions, 0 triggers, 0 searches. MarketGo cannot start a Zap by itself. Another app fires it, then Zapier creates or updates a contact in MarketGo, or records a customer event that one of your automated campaigns can pick up.

What the MarketGo Zapier integration does for you
The MarketGo Zapier integration moves people and customer events into MarketGo without anyone retyping them. MarketGo runs SMS, email and social media campaigns; Zapier sits between it and your other apps. Something happens elsewhere, and Zapier writes the result into MarketGo. On Zapier, MarketGo only receives data: it has two actions and nothing else.
Contacts that match your store. Create or Update Contact adds a buyer to MarketGo, or refreshes the contact already filed under that email address, so your lists follow your sales without a manual export.
Campaigns that start from a real purchase. Marketing Automation records a customer event such as an order placed. Your automated campaigns in MarketGo can start from that event, so the follow-up message goes out because something actually happened.
Texts sent to the right people only. Both actions carry a switch that says what a person agreed to. SMS Consent is set to true only for someone who opted in to marketing texts, and the service-required flag is kept for receipts and confirmations. Mapped with care, the consent travels with the contact.
What Zapier does not do here. MarketGo has no trigger and no search on Zapier. Nothing that happens inside MarketGo can start a Zap, and no step can look up a MarketGo contact to reuse it further down. Every Zap starts in another app. To weigh this against other tools, see our n8n vs Zapier comparison.
Zapier words, in plain English
Eight words come back on this page. Here they are once, so the rest reads easily.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: 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. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it. MarketGo offers none, so it comes from another app.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes something for you, here a contact or an event in MarketGo.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets a 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 one, and it then needs a paid plan.
- Connection
- Your MarketGo account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that writes to MarketGo.
What a MarketGo Zap really costs
Zapier bills in tasks, and MarketGo is not a premium app: it works from the free plan.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
- Premium appNo, MarketGo works on the free plan
- What is billedEach MarketGo action that succeeds
The trigger never costs a task, and Zapier checking for new data costs nothing either. Each MarketGo action that goes through counts as one task; an action that fails is not counted. A few apps and actions take more than one task. The free plan only builds two-step Zaps, so creating the contact and then logging the event makes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan, and so does a filter. The interval grid below concerns the other app's trigger when it is a polling one: MarketGo has no trigger, so no interval is ever attached to it.
Connect MarketGo to Zapier in 3 steps
- 01
Open Apps and add a connection
In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. You do this once: every Zap that writes to MarketGo will reuse the same connection afterwards.
- 02
Pick MarketGo
Type MarketGo in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab then opens, so you can sign in to your account on the MarketGo side.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to MarketGo in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. You need a MarketGo account of your own, plus read or write access to anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch.
Your first Zap: an order becomes a MarketGo event
GoalEach new order in your online store updates the buyer in MarketGo, then records an order placed event that a campaign can start from.
- 01
Build: pick the trigger
Start a new Zap and choose your store app with its new-order event. The trigger always comes first, since a Zap is one trigger followed by its actions.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so you map the next steps on a real order rather than on empty fields.
- 03
Add Create or Update Contact
Add MarketGo as the action and pick Create or Update Contact. Map the buyer's email to Email Address, and set SMS Consent to true only for buyers who opted in to texts.
- 04
Add Marketing Automation
Add a second MarketGo action, Marketing Automation. Fill Event Type and Customer Email, both required. This second action makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 05
Test, then publish
Run each step once and read what came back before going further. When both MarketGo steps return what you expect, click Publish to switch the Zap on.
The 2 MarketGo actions
MarketGo gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create or Update Contact
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new contact or updates an existing one.”
Hands MarketGo a person and lets it sort things out: a new contact is created, or the one already filed under that email address is refreshed.
Marketing Automation
ActionIn Zapier“Records a customer event (like appointment completed, order placed) to trigger automated campaigns.”
Despite its broad name, this action does one precise thing: it records a customer event in MarketGo, such as an order placed or an appointment completed, so an automated campaign can react to it.
When a MarketGo Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to MarketGo, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What breaks is what breaks on any Zap.
Four cases are worth knowing before you publish. For deeper digging, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
Past orders stay out
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Orders placed before that never reach MarketGo; moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that sets itself off
A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can start itself again and again, and burn through your task count. Keep the trigger and the write in different places.A bulk import gets held back
When the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back instead of running them all.Duplicates on a polling trigger
On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of the items it has already seen, so the same order does not start the Zap twice.
