Overview

What the Maximiz Zapier integration does for you

The Maximiz Zapier integration links your Maximiz account to the rest of your tools through Zapier. It works in one direction only: Maximiz tells Zapier about a new contact on a list, and Zapier passes that person on to whichever app you put after it. Maximiz itself describes its job as turning website visitors into buyers.

Three things people usually build with it, all on the New Contact trigger. A running log: each new contact on a chosen list becomes a row in a spreadsheet, so you can sort and share the list without opening Maximiz. A heads-up for the team: the same event posts a short message in your team chat with the contact's details. A cleaner handover: the contact lands as a record in the tool where your follow-up happens, instead of being copied by hand.

Now the limits. Zapier offers no action and no search for Maximiz. So a Zap can read from Maximiz but never write back into it: no updating a contact, no adding someone to a list, no looking up a person who is already there. Every write in your Zap happens in another app. And the Zap only sees contacts added after you switch it on; what is already sitting in your lists stays where it is.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Eight words come back on this page. Here they are in plain English, once.

Zap
The automation you build in 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. Here it is New Contact.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you in an app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan is a count of them.
Polling vs instant trigger
A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment the event happens. New Contact is instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap carry on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Maximiz account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap and every step that needs Maximiz.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap that goes beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes one, and it needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a Maximiz Zap really costs

The good news first: the Maximiz side of your Zap is free, because the trigger itself never uses a task.

  • New Contact trigger0 tasks
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Premium appNo, works on the free plan

You pay in tasks for what happens next. Each action that completes counts once, so a Zap with two actions uses twice what a one-action Zap uses, and an action that fails is not counted. Maximiz is not a premium app: it works on the free plan, which gives 100 tasks a month and as many Zaps as you like, each limited to one trigger and one action. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which takes a paid plan. The interval grid below is how often Zapier checks a polling trigger on each plan; it does not apply to New Contact, which is instant whatever your plan.

Connect

Connect Maximiz to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. Before you start, you need a Maximiz account of your own, plus access to the list you plan to watch if someone else owns it.

  2. 02

    Pick Maximiz

    Type Maximiz in the search box of the dialog, select it in the results, then click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the Maximiz side, where the sign-in happens.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Maximiz in that tab and allow Zapier to reach your account. The connection then shows on the Apps page, and every Maximiz step in every Zap can reuse it.

First Zap

Your first Zap: log new contacts in a spreadsheet

GoalEach new contact on one Maximiz list, once it passes your filter, becomes a row in your spreadsheet.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap and choose Maximiz as the app that starts it. Pick New Contact as the event and select the connection you made earlier.

  2. 02

    Name the list

    Fill in List name with the exact name of the Maximiz list to watch. It is the only required field of this trigger, so take it straight from your account rather than from memory.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent contacts of that list so you can map the next steps on a real person rather than a blank.

  4. 04

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon, add Filter and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value to compare with. This step makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Add the spreadsheet step

    Add your spreadsheet app, choose the event that adds a row, and map the contact's details into the columns. Test it once and read the row it created.

  6. 06

    Publish

    Click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on, each contact added to the list goes through the filter without you lifting a finger.

Triggers

The Maximiz trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Maximiz, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Contact

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when new contacts are added to your GetEmails account.”

Starts your Zap each time a contact is added to the Maximiz list you choose, and hands that contact's details to the next steps.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
when a new name on a given list should show up somewhere your team already works, like a sheet, a chat channel or a contact record.
Watch out
the List name field is required, so check at the test that the contacts it returns come from the right one.
When it breaks

When a Maximiz Zap breaks

Zapier does not attach any help article to Maximiz, so the cases below are the general Zapier limits that apply to this trigger.

Here are the general limits to know: several are things the Zap does not do rather than errors. If something looks off, start with our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Old contacts never show up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Contacts already on the list are not picked up; moving them is a separate job.

  • The Zap keeps restarting itself

    As a general precaution: a Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can set itself off again and again, and eats your tasks.

  • A big import gets held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.

  • Contacts from the wrong list

    List name is a required field, and a typo there is easy to miss. Check at the test that the three contacts it brings back belong to the list you meant.

FAQ

Maximiz and Zapier: the questions people ask

01Is the Maximiz Zapier integration free?
Yes, on Zapier's free plan. Maximiz is not a premium app, so you can use it without paying Zapier anything. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, with one catch: each Zap stops at two steps, the New Contact trigger plus one action. The moment you want a filter or a second action, for example to send the contact to a sheet and to a chat at once, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Maximiz Zap use?
Nothing for the Maximiz part. The New Contact trigger never costs a task, however many contacts arrive. Zapier counts one task per action that completes successfully, so a Zap that adds a spreadsheet row for each new contact uses one task per contact. Put two actions after it and each contact costs two. An action that fails is not counted, and a few apps and actions take more than one task, so check the apps you put after Maximiz.
03Does Maximiz trigger Zaps in real time?
Yes. New Contact is an instant trigger: Maximiz reports the new contact to Zapier itself, and the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The interval grid that Zapier applies to polling triggers, from 15 minutes on the free plan down to 1 minute on Team and Enterprise, does not concern it. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt, which is a quick way to confirm it.
04What do you need to connect Maximiz to Zapier?
A Maximiz account you can sign in to, plus access to the list you plan to watch if someone else owns it. The connection itself takes three moves: open Apps in Zapier, click + Add connection, pick Maximiz and sign in on the tab that opens, then grant Zapier access. After that, the trigger asks for one required field, List name, so have the exact name of that list at hand before you start the Zap.
05Why are contacts that were already on the list missing?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Contacts that were on the Maximiz list before that moment are never sent, and Zapier does not go back to fetch them. The test is where this catches people out: it brings back the three most recent contacts so you can map the fields, which can look like the history is coming along. It is not. Moving an existing list somewhere else is a separate job, outside the Zap.
06What if the Maximiz operation you need is not listed?
Then Zapier cannot do it for you on the Maximiz side. Its Maximiz app offers one trigger, New Contact, with no action and no search, so a Zap cannot update a contact, add someone to a list or look a person up in Maximiz. What you can do is everything after the trigger: any other app in your Zap can receive the contact. For anything that has to change inside Maximiz, the change stays a manual step in Maximiz itself.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Maximiz?
Decide on a few criteria rather than a ranking. First, the connector: this page covers only what Zapier offers for Maximiz, so check that the other tool has a ready-made Maximiz module before switching. Second, where your other automations already run, since one place is easier to maintain than two. Third, the shape of your Zap: on Zapier, anything past one trigger and one action needs a paid plan, which matters when you only need New Contact plus a single step.
