What the Maslow Zapier integration is for
Maslow is an applicant tracking system, the place where your hiring pipeline lives. On Zapier it works in one direction only: something happens in another app, and Maslow gets a new candidate or a new role. Nothing in Maslow can start a Zap, so it is always the last link of the chain.
Two results, each tied to a real operation. Applicants who land in Maslow by themselves: a form submission becomes a candidate through Create Candidate, with first name, last name, email and provider filled from the form, so nobody re-types an application. Openings that reach Maslow once they are approved elsewhere: Create Role opens the position from a title held in another tool, for instance a planning spreadsheet.
What Zapier does not do for Maslow: it does not react to anything happening inside Maslow, because the app has no trigger. It cannot look up an existing candidate or role either, since there is no search step, so it will not check for duplicates before creating. It cannot update or delete a record. And it never brings in applicants that arrived before your Zap was published.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Seven words do most of the work on this page. Here they are, plainly.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one starting event, then one or more steps that run every time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap. Maslow has none, so the trigger always comes from the other app in your Zap.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes or sends something for you, here a new candidate or role in Maslow.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The count on your plan is a count of those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer; an instant one is reported by the app the moment it happens.
- 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 filter or a second action makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What a Maslow Zap really costs
Maslow is not a premium app: it works on the free plan. You pay in tasks, not in Zaps.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Maslow triggersNone, the Zap starts in another app
The trigger never costs a task, whichever app it comes from. Each Maslow action that succeeds counts once: a Zap that creates a role and then a candidate uses two tasks per run. A failed action is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps, one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action needs a paid plan. Maslow has no trigger of its own, so the interval grid below only matters if the trigger you pick in the other app is a polling one.
Connect your Maslow account to Zapier
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Maslow account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that writes to Maslow.
- 02
Find Maslow in the dialog
Search Maslow by name in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. You need a Maslow account, with write access to the candidates and roles the Zap will create.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
A tab opens on Maslow. Sign in, then grant Zapier access to the account. Once the tab closes, the connection appears in your list, ready for any Zap. It works for every Maslow step from then on.
Your first Zap: applicants from a form become Maslow candidates
GoalEach time someone submits your application form and passes your filter, they are created as a candidate in Maslow.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap and pick your form tool with its new-submission event as the trigger. Connect that account the same way you connected Maslow.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent submissions of the connected account. Pick a real one, so the mapping uses actual answers.
- 03
Add a filter
Add a filter step from the plus icon and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value. Submissions that fail it stop there. The Zap is now multi-step.
- 04
Add Create Candidate
Choose Maslow, then Create Candidate. Map first name, last name and email from the form, and set the Provider field, which is required as well.
- 05
Test, then publish
Run the action once and check in Maslow that the candidate appeared with the right details. Then click Publish to switch the Zap on.
Maslow actions
Maslow gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Candidate
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new candidate in the system.”
Adds a new person to your Maslow pipeline, built from the details another app hands over.
Create Role
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new role in the system.”
Opens a new position in Maslow from a title another tool already holds, so nobody types the opening twice.
When a Maslow Zap breaks
Zapier ties no help article to Maslow and lists no limit specific to it. What breaks is general Zapier behaviour, plus the fields Maslow insists on.
Four cases to know before you publish. When a run fails anyway, our Zapier troubleshooting guide is the next stop.
Earlier applicants are not imported
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Applications received before that never reach Maslow; moving that backlog is a separate job.A required field arrives empty
Create Candidate needs First Name, Last Name, Email and Provider, and Create Role needs a Title. If the trigger app does not carry one of them, the step cannot complete.A huge batch is held back
When the trigger of the other app suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back.The same person twice
Maslow has no search on Zapier, so the Zap cannot check whether a candidate already exists. If the same applicant submits twice, test what Maslow does with it.
