Overview

What the MasterIN Zapier integration is for

MasterIN is a platform built around postgraduate information and training, and the people who show interest there reach the account as leads. On Zapier it offers a single trigger, New Lead. Every lead MasterIN receives can start a Zap and travel on to your CRM, a spreadsheet or your team chat.

Three results you can build on that one trigger. Leads that land straight in your CRM: New Lead hands each lead to the CRM your team already works in, so nobody copies it from MasterIN by hand. A shared lead log: every new lead becomes a row in a spreadsheet, which gives you one place to count and sort them. A heads-up for the team: a message in your team chat each time a lead arrives, so someone can pick it up. Each of these is a two-step Zap, which the free plan covers.

What Zapier does not do for MasterIN: it cannot write anything back. There is no action and no search, so a Zap cannot update a lead, change its status or look one up in MasterIN. The trigger is a polling one, so on the free plan a lead can wait up to 15 minutes before the Zap sees it. And leads received before the Zap was published are never picked up.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words do the work on this page. Here they are in plain English.

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. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it; for MasterIN, a new lead.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes or sends something for you. With MasterIN, actions run in other apps.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The count on your plan is a count of those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeping only what it has not seen.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens. MasterIN's New Lead is not one of those.
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.
Cost

What a MasterIN Zap really costs

MasterIN is not a premium app: it works on the free plan. Zapier bills tasks, not Zaps.

  • Premium appNo, available on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Trigger type1 polling, 0 instant

New Lead costs nothing, and neither do Zapier's checks for new leads, however often they run. What you pay for is each action that succeeds in the apps that follow: one action per lead is one task per lead, two actions are two. 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. The grid below is how often Zapier checks New Lead on each plan.

Connect

Connect your MasterIN account to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your MasterIN account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that starts on it.

  2. 02

    Pick MasterIN

    Search MasterIN by name in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. You need a MasterIN account that receives the leads you want the Zap to pass on.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    A tab opens on MasterIN. Sign in, then grant Zapier access to the account. When the tab closes, the connection appears in your list, ready for New Lead.

First Zap

Your first Zap: new MasterIN leads into your CRM

GoalEach time MasterIN receives a lead that passes your filter, it is created as a contact in your CRM.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap on MasterIN

    Start a new Zap, pick MasterIN as the app and New Lead as the event, then choose your MasterIN connection. The trigger asks for no required field.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of the connected account. Pick a real one and look at which values come with it.

  3. 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. Leads that fail it stop there. The Zap is now multi-step.

  4. 04

    Add the CRM action

    Choose your CRM and its create-contact action, then map the lead's values from the test into the contact fields your CRM asks for.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run the action once and check the new contact in your CRM. Then click Publish; on the free plan, Zapier checks MasterIN for new leads every 15 minutes.

Triggers

MasterIN trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in MasterIN. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

New Lead

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new lead has been received.”

Starts your Zap each time MasterIN receives a new lead, which hands that lead to whatever tool your team follows up from.

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
new leads should reach your CRM or a shared spreadsheet without anyone exporting them from MasterIN.
Watch out
Zapier remembers the leads it has already seen and will not start twice for the same one, but it never fetches leads from before the Zap was published.
When it breaks

When a MasterIN Zap breaks

Zapier ties no help article to MasterIN and lists no limit specific to it. What can go wrong comes from general Zapier behaviour around a polling trigger.

Four cases to know before you count on the Zap. When a run fails, our Zapier troubleshooting guide is the next stop.

  • Older leads never arrive

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Leads MasterIN received before that are not picked up; moving them is a separate job.

  • A lead seems late

    New Lead is a polling trigger. On the free plan Zapier checks every 15 minutes, so a lead can wait that long; Professional checks every 2 minutes.

  • A lead is not sent twice

    Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same lead does not start the Zap again, even if you expected a second run.

  • A burst of leads is held back

    When New Lead suddenly returns a huge batch, after a migration for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back instead of firing them all.

FAQ

MasterIN Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the MasterIN Zapier integration free?
Yes. MasterIN is not a premium app on Zapier, so it works on the free plan: 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps. Sending each new lead to one spreadsheet or one CRM fits in that, with New Lead as the trigger and one action after it. If you want to filter leads first, or send each one to two places, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a MasterIN Zap use?
New Lead itself costs nothing, and neither do Zapier's checks on MasterIN. You pay one task for each action that succeeds after it. A Zap that copies each lead into your CRM costs one task per lead. If it also posts a message to your team chat, that is two per lead. A failed action is not counted. So the number to estimate is how many leads you expect each month, multiplied by the actions in your Zap.
03Does MasterIN send leads to Zapier in real time?
No. New Lead is a polling trigger: Zapier asks MasterIN for new leads at a fixed interval, and that interval depends on your plan. It is 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional and 1 on Team and Enterprise. On the paid plans the check can also be run by hand from the editor. The trigger type is set by the app and cannot be changed, so a faster plan is the only way to shorten the wait.
04What do you need to connect MasterIN to Zapier?
A MasterIN account that receives the leads you want to pass on. The connection runs from the Apps page of Zapier: click + Add connection, search MasterIN, click Add connection, sign in in the tab that opens, then grant Zapier access. You also need an account on the app that will receive the leads, connected the same way, since MasterIN has no action of its own and every step after the trigger happens elsewhere.
05Why are leads received before the Zap was published missing?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after it is published. New Lead picks up leads MasterIN receives from that moment on; anything already in the account stays where it is. Testing the trigger does bring back the three most recent leads, but only to help you map fields, not to send them. If those older leads matter, moving them is a separate job, done outside the Zap. Plan it before you switch the Zap on.
06What if the MasterIN operation you need is not on Zapier?
Then Zapier cannot do it with MasterIN today. The editor offers exactly one operation, New Lead. There is no action to update a lead or change its status, and no search to find an existing one. Everything after the trigger has to happen in your other apps, and for simply passing leads on, that may be all you need. If you need more, check whether another automation tool exposes more MasterIN operations before building anything.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for MasterIN?
Decide on criteria, not on a ranking. First, which tool actually offers a MasterIN connector, and with what; on Zapier, a single polling trigger. Second, how fast leads must reach your team, since on Zapier the check interval depends on the plan. Third, how each tool counts usage, as Zapier bills every successful action after the trigger. Put your expected lead volume against those three points and the choice usually becomes clear.
