MarketHype Zapier integration: 4 actions, 0 triggers, 0 searches. MarketHype never starts a Zap on its own. Another app fires it, then Zapier creates or updates a contact in MarketHype, or files a ticket, booking or product order there so your audience data stays whole.

Overview

What the MarketHype Zapier integration does for you

The MarketHype Zapier integration copies your sales and your people into MarketHype without anyone retyping them. MarketHype builds audiences for event and hospitality businesses. Zapier sits in between: a sale happens in another tool, and Zapier writes it into MarketHype. On Zapier, MarketHype only receives data, through four actions.

Every ticket buyer on file. Create/Update Ticket Order records a ticket sale in MarketHype, or updates that order if it is already there. Your event audience grows with each sale instead of waiting for someone to import a file.

One profile per guest. Create/Update Contact adds a person or refreshes the one that already exists, so a buyer who comes back to a second event stays a single contact.

Marketing consent kept with the order. The three order actions carry an Accepts marketing field. When your ticketing tool holds that answer, the Zap passes it on with the sale.

What Zapier does not do here. MarketHype has no trigger and no search on Zapier. Nothing that happens inside MarketHype can start a Zap, and no step can look up a MarketHype order or contact to reuse it later. Every Zap starts in another app and ends in MarketHype.

Vocabulary

Zapier words, in plain English

A handful of Zapier terms run through this page. Here they are once.

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. MarketHype has none, so it comes from another app.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes something for you, here an order or a contact in MarketHype.
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 at a fixed interval. 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 MarketHype account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that writes to MarketHype.
Cost

What a MarketHype Zap really costs

Zapier bills in tasks, and MarketHype is not a premium app: it works from the free plan.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
  • Premium appNo, MarketHype works on the free plan
  • What is billedEach MarketHype action that succeeds

The trigger never costs a task, and Zapier checking for new data costs nothing either. Each MarketHype 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 recording the contact and then the ticket order is a multi-step Zap that needs a paid plan, and so is a Zap with a filter. The interval grid below concerns the other app's trigger when it is a polling one: MarketHype has no trigger, so no interval ever applies to it.

Connect

Connect MarketHype to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open Apps and add a connection

    In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. You only do this once: every Zap that writes to MarketHype reuses the same connection afterwards.

  2. 02

    Pick MarketHype

    Type MarketHype 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 MarketHype side.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to MarketHype in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. You need a MarketHype account of your own, plus read or write access to anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch.

First Zap

Your first Zap: a ticket sale lands in MarketHype

GoalEach ticket sold in your ticketing tool creates or updates the buyer in MarketHype, then records the ticket order in MarketHype.

  1. 01

    Build: pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap and choose your ticketing tool with its new-sale event. The trigger always comes first, since a Zap is one trigger followed by its actions.

  2. 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 sale rather than on empty fields.

  3. 03

    Add Create/Update Contact

    Add MarketHype as the action and pick Create/Update Contact. Map the buyer's details from the sale, then test this step once and read what MarketHype sends back.

  4. 04

    Add Create/Update Ticket Order

    Add a second MarketHype action, Create/Update Ticket Order. Fill Order Id, Payment Status, Gross Amount, Order date and Type, all required. This second action makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run each step once and read what came back before going further. When both MarketHype steps return what you expect, click Publish to switch the Zap on.

Actions

The 4 MarketHype actions

MarketHype gives you 4 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create/Update Booking Order

Action

In Zapier“Create a new Booking Order, or update an existing Booking Order if it already exists”

Writes a booking into MarketHype as an order: a new one when the Order Id is unknown, an update when that booking order already exists.

When to use it
a guest books through another system and that booking should be in MarketHype too.
Watch out
Order Id, Payment status, Gross amount, Order date, Item order Id and Type are all required. A sale missing any of them has to be completed upstream first.
2

Create/Update Contact

Action

In Zapier“Create a new Contact, or update an existing Contact if it already exists”

Puts a person in MarketHype, or refreshes the contact when it already exists there, so the same buyer is not split across several records.

When to use it
you only need the person in MarketHype, with no order to record.
Watch out
the source lists no notable field for this action, so run the test and read which fields the editor asks for before mapping anything.
3

Create/Update Product Order

Action

In Zapier“Create a new Product Order, or update an existing Product Order if it already exists”

Records the sale of a product in MarketHype as an order, or updates the existing product order that carries the same Order Id.

When to use it
a guest buys an item next to their ticket and that purchase should reach MarketHype as well.
Watch out
this one asks for the most: on top of the order fields, Name and Code are required for the item. Check that your source holds both.
4

Create/Update Ticket Order

Action

In Zapier“Create a new Ticket Order, or update an existing Ticket Order if it already exists”

Files a ticket sale in MarketHype, creating the order or updating it if that ticket order is already recorded.

When to use it
every ticket your ticketing tool sells should reach MarketHype as an order.
Watch out
Order Id, Payment Status, Gross Amount, Order date and Type are required. Accepts marketing is optional, but map it when your tool records the buyer's answer.
When it breaks

When a MarketHype Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to MarketHype, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What breaks is what breaks on any Zap.

  • Earlier sales stay out

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Tickets sold before that never reach MarketHype; 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 held back

    When the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back instead of running them all.
  • No double entries on polling

    On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of the items it has already seen, so the same sale does not start the Zap twice.

FAQ

MarketHype and Zapier: common questions

01Is the MarketHype Zapier integration free?
It can be. MarketHype is not a premium app, so it runs on Zapier's free plan, which gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps. The limit is the shape of each Zap: on the free plan it has two steps, one trigger and one action. A Zap that records a ticket order straight from your ticketing tool fits. A Zap that first creates the contact and then the order has two actions, so it is multi-step and needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a MarketHype Zap use?
One task for each MarketHype action that succeeds. The trigger in your other app costs nothing, and so do Zapier's checks for new data. A Zap that runs Create/Update Contact and then Create/Update Ticket Order uses two tasks per sale. An action that fails is not counted against your plan. Zapier also notes that a few apps and actions take more than one task, so read the task count after the first runs rather than assuming it.
03Does MarketHype work in real time with Zapier?
It depends on the app that starts the Zap, because MarketHype has no trigger of its own. If your ticketing or booking tool offers an instant trigger, it reports the sale to Zapier straight away whatever your plan, and the editor marks it with a lightning bolt. If its trigger is a polling one, Zapier checks at your plan's interval: 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. Paid plans can change that interval and run a check by hand.
04What do you need to connect MarketHype to Zapier?
A MarketHype account, plus read or write access to anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch. Then open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection, search for MarketHype and pick it, click Add connection, sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. The connection is made once and reused by every step that writes to MarketHype, so your next Zaps skip this part.
05Which fields are required to send a ticket order to MarketHype?
Order Id, Payment Status, Gross Amount, Order date and Type, according to the fields Zapier lists for Create/Update Ticket Order. Order Id can be picked from existing orders or typed as a custom value, and the action updates the order when it already exists rather than creating it. Accepts marketing is optional. If your ticketing tool does not hold one of the required values for a sale, fix that at the source, then check the result at the test step.
06What if the MarketHype operation you want is not on Zapier?
Then the Zap has to be built around it. Zapier lists four MarketHype actions, all of the create-or-update kind, and no trigger or search. Two needs stay uncovered: reacting to something that happens inside MarketHype, and reading an order or a contact back from MarketHype for a later step. The MarketHype page on zapier.com keeps the current list. When a job depends on one of those, start the Zap in the tool where the sale or the sign-up first happens.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for MarketHype?
Pick on criteria, not on a ranking. Coverage first: on Zapier, MarketHype receives contacts and three kinds of orders but never starts a flow, so check what the other tools offer for MarketHype before deciding. Then where your sales tools already live: if your ticketing tool is already connected to Zapier, one more connection is the shortest path. Last, the plan: contact plus order in one Zap is multi-step, which means a paid Zapier plan, so count how many of your Zaps need it.
