Overview

What the MarketProvider Zapier integration does for you

The MarketProvider Zapier integration lets your product catalog speak to your other tools. MarketProvider is a PIM, the one place that holds your product information, where it gets cleaned up, filled out and sent on to each of your channels. Zapier watches it for new and changed products, and can also fetch one product when another tool asks.

A product list your team can read. New Products starts the Zap whenever a product appears in MarketProvider, and the next step writes it as a row in a shared spreadsheet. Your colleagues follow the catalog without opening the PIM.

Changes that reach the right person. Updated Products fires when a product is modified. Pair it with a filter and a team chat message, and only the changes you care about make noise.

A product on demand. Get Product pulls one product from the PIM inside a Zap that started somewhere else, so a later step can use its data. Run the test first: the editor shows which identifier it expects.

What Zapier does not do here. Both triggers are polling ones: there is no instant trigger, so nothing fires faster than your plan's interval. There is no action that creates or edits a product in MarketProvider, and no search step. Data flows out of the PIM, not into it.

Vocabulary

Zapier words, in plain English

Eight terms come back on this page. Here they are once, in ordinary words.

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, here a new or updated product in MarketProvider. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or fetches something for you.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer: it asks the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only what it has not seen.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself the moment the event happens. MarketProvider has none on Zapier.
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.
Cost

What a MarketProvider Zap really costs

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

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
  • Premium appNo, MarketProvider works on the free plan
  • Trigger type2 polling triggers, no instant one

The trigger never costs a task, and Zapier checking MarketProvider for new or updated products costs nothing either, however often it looks. Each action that succeeds counts as one task, Get Product included; one that fails is not counted. A few apps and actions take more than one task. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two steps each: a filter or a second action needs a paid plan. Both MarketProvider triggers follow the grid below.

Connect

Connect MarketProvider 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. A connection is your MarketProvider account linked once, then reused by every step that uses it.

  2. 02

    Pick MarketProvider

    Type MarketProvider 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 own MarketProvider account.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

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

First Zap

Your first Zap: filtered product changes in your team chat

GoalEach product updated in MarketProvider that passes your filter posts a message in your team chat, so the people who sell it hear about the change.

  1. 01

    Build: pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap, choose MarketProvider, then Updated Products. The trigger always comes first: 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 build the next steps on real products rather than on empty boxes.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    From the plus icon, add a Filter and set its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, and the value. A text rule only works on text, a number rule only on numbers.

  4. 04

    Add the chat message

    Pick your team chat and its send-message action, then write the message with the product fields the test brought back. Test it and read the message it posted.

  5. 05

    Publish

    When each step returns what you expect, click Publish. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan, which also shortens the polling interval.

Triggers

The 2 MarketProvider triggers

2 events start a Zap when something happens in MarketProvider. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

New Products

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there's a new products.”

Starts the Zap when a product is added to your MarketProvider catalog, so the newcomer can be copied, announced or sent on to another channel.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one
When to use it
every product created in the PIM should get its own row in a shared spreadsheet.
Watch out
products created before the Zap is switched on never come through. After a bulk import, Zapier's flood protection may also hold back a huge batch of new products.
2

Updated Products

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when there's a updated products.”

Picks up products that change in MarketProvider, so the people and tools downstream of the PIM are not left with an outdated version.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one
When to use it
a change to a product should be announced to the team that sells it.
Watch out
Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so the same change does not start the Zap twice. Add a filter if only some edits matter, otherwise every change makes noise.
Actions

The MarketProvider action

MarketProvider gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Get Product

Action

In Zapier“Get product from PIM”

Fetches one product from the MarketProvider PIM in the middle of a Zap, so the steps after it can use that product's data.

When to use it
a Zap starts in another tool, such as a spreadsheet row, and needs the product data held in the PIM.
Watch out
no field is listed for this action, so run the test and read which identifier the editor asks for before mapping it. It counts as a task like any action.
When it breaks

When a MarketProvider Zap breaks

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

  • The existing catalog stays out

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Products that existed before never start it; 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 a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those products back instead of running them all.
  • No double runs

    Both triggers are polling ones, and Zapier keeps track of the items it has already seen, so the same product does not start the Zap twice.

FAQ

MarketProvider and Zapier: common questions

01Is the MarketProvider Zapier integration free?
It can be. MarketProvider 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: two steps, one trigger and one action. New Products followed by a spreadsheet row fits. Add a filter to keep only some products, or a second action such as Get Product, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a MarketProvider Zap use?
One task for each action that succeeds. The MarketProvider trigger is free, and so are Zapier's checks of your catalog, however often they run. A product that a filter stops never reaches an action, so it costs nothing. Get Product is an action too, so it counts one task each time it works. An action that fails is not counted. Zapier also notes that a few apps and actions take more than one task, so read the task count after the first runs.
03Does MarketProvider work in real time with Zapier?
No. Both MarketProvider triggers, New Products and Updated Products, are polling triggers: Zapier goes and checks the catalog at the interval of your plan, every 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. MarketProvider offers no instant trigger on Zapier. On paid plans, the interval can be changed and a check can also be run by hand from the editor, which helps while you test. Either way, Zapier keeps track of the products it has already seen.
04What do you need to connect MarketProvider to Zapier?
A MarketProvider account, plus read or write access to anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. Then open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection, search for MarketProvider and pick it, click Add connection, sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. That connection is made once and reused by every MarketProvider step, in this Zap and the next ones.
05Why does a MarketProvider Zap ignore products already in the catalog?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. New Products and Updated Products watch for changes from that point, and Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen so nothing runs twice. The products that existed before never start the Zap. If your spreadsheet or another tool needs the full current catalog, treat that as a separate, one-off job, then let the Zap keep things in step from there.
06What if the MarketProvider operation you need is not on Zapier?
Then the Zap has to work around it. Zapier offers two MarketProvider triggers and one action, Get Product, and no search. In practice, data flows out of the PIM: there is no ready step to create or edit a product in MarketProvider from another tool. The MarketProvider page on zapier.com shows the current list. If your project depends on writing into the PIM, check that page first rather than planning around an operation that is not there.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for MarketProvider?
Decide on criteria, not on a ranking. Coverage first: on Zapier, MarketProvider can start Zaps on new and updated products and fetch a product, but cannot be written to, so check what the other tools offer for MarketProvider. Speed next: both Zapier triggers are polling ones, so the interval of your plan sets the pace. Last, where your other tools live: if your spreadsheets and team chat are already on Zapier, it is the shortest route.
