Maysee Zapier integrationAutomate Maysee with Zapier.

The Maysee Zapier integration gives you 1 trigger, 0 actions and 0 searches. Maysee starts the Zap with each new business card, and another app does the work. The trigger is a polling one, so how fast it runs depends on your plan.

Overview

What the Maysee Zapier integration actually does

Maysee manages business cards and lets you send them from a phone or a computer. On Zapier it does one thing: New Card starts a Zap each time a new card appears in your account. Zapier then hands that card to the apps where the contact is actually worked on.

Three outcomes cover most of what you can build. A contact list that fills itself. Each new card becomes a row in a shared spreadsheet, so the whole team sees who was met without opening Maysee. A contact record in your CRM. The card lands in your customer database as a new contact, ready for follow-up. A sorted handover. A filter lets only some cards through, those that match a value you choose, before they reach the next app (that third step needs a paid plan).

What Zapier does not do here matters as much. There is no Maysee action, so a Zap cannot create, edit or send a card in Maysee: data only flows out of it. There is no search either, so a later step cannot look up an older card. And the trigger is a polling one: Zapier checks your account at an interval set by your plan, so a new card is picked up at the next check, not the moment it is added. If you want a broader view of the tool first, see our Zapier review.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words you will meet in the editor, each in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. For Maysee it is New Card; once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, in another app here.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completed 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. New Card is not one of them, it is a polling trigger.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it quietly otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes a Zap multi-step, and that needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a Maysee Zap really costs

Checking for new cards costs nothing, however often Zapier looks. Only an action that completes is counted as a task.

  • New Card triggerFree, never counted
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • Maysee on the free planYes, not a paid-only app

Maysee is not reserved for paid plans. A Zap made of New Card and one action runs on the free plan: 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each, and a check every 15 minutes. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. An action that does not go through is not counted. The grid below is how often Zapier checks New Card on each plan, and on paid plans you can also run a check by hand from the editor.

Connect

Connect Maysee to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A dialog opens with a search box: type Maysee and pick it from the list of apps that comes up.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Maysee

    Click Add connection. A new tab opens on Maysee: sign in with the account whose cards the Zap should follow. You need an account on the app, plus access to anything you do not own and want the Zap to touch.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Allow Zapier to use the account. The connection then shows up on the Apps page, and every Zap that starts on Maysee can reuse it, so you only do this once per account.

First Zap

Your first Maysee Zap: new cards into your CRM

GoalEach new business card in Maysee goes through a filter, and the cards that pass become a contact in your CRM.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    From the Zapier dashboard, start a new Zap. Pick Maysee as the first app and New Card as the trigger, then choose your Maysee connection.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent cards of the connected account, so you see the real fields and map the next steps on one of them.

  3. 03

    Add a filter

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

  4. 04

    Add the CRM step

    Add your CRM as the action and its create-contact event. Map each contact field to a value the card handed over during the test.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test the action once and check the new contact. Then click Publish: the Zap is on, and only cards that arrive from now on go through.

Triggers

The Maysee trigger

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

1

New Card

Polling trigger

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

Starts your Zap when a new business card shows up in your Maysee account, so the contact on it can travel to the tools where you follow people up. It is the only way Maysee feeds a Zap.

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
after an event, every card collected should end up in one shared list without anyone retyping it.
Watch out
what a card carries is best checked with the trigger test before you map anything.
When it breaks

When a Maysee Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Maysee and lists no rate limit for it, so the traps below are the general ones that apply to any Zap built on a polling trigger.

Most problems appear in the first days, when old cards, a big import or a loop meet a freshly published Zap. When a run fails and the cause is not clear, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Old cards are not sent

    A Zap reacts only to what happens after you switch it on. Cards already in Maysee are not picked up; moving that backlog is a separate job.
  • A huge batch held back

    After a bulk import or a migration, New Card can suddenly return a large batch. Zapier's flood protection can hold that batch back instead of running it all.
  • The same card, only once

    Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same card does not start the Zap twice, even across many checks.
  • A Zap that restarts itself

    A Zap that writes into the place its own trigger watches can set itself off again and again. Keep that in mind if another Zap of yours feeds cards into Maysee.

FAQ

Maysee Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the Maysee Zapier integration free?
Yes, as long as the Zap stays at two steps. Maysee is not one of the apps Zapier reserves for paid plans, so New Card plus one action in another app runs on the free plan. That plan gives 100 tasks a month and as many Zaps as you want, but each one is limited to a trigger and a single action. Sending each card both to a spreadsheet and to your CRM is two actions, and that already needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Maysee Zap use?
One per action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger. A Zap that adds each new card as a row in a sheet uses one task per card. Zapier checking Maysee for new cards costs nothing, however often it looks, and an action that fails is not counted against your 100 monthly tasks on the free plan. If you add a second action, each card then uses two tasks, so count your usual volume of cards first.
03Is Maysee on Zapier real time?
No. New Card is a polling trigger: Zapier asks Maysee for new cards at a fixed interval and keeps only the ones it has not seen. On the free plan that interval is 15 minutes, on Professional it is 2 minutes, and on Team and Enterprise it is 1 minute. On paid plans you can also run a check by hand from the editor. The type is set by the app itself and cannot be switched from the editor.
04What does it take to connect Maysee to Zapier?
A Maysee account and a Zapier account. You add the connection from the Apps page with + Add connection, sign in to Maysee in the tab that opens and allow Zapier to use the account. If the Zap should follow cards that belong to someone else, your account needs read access to them first. One connection is then reused by every Zap that starts on Maysee, so the setup happens once per account and not once per Zap.
05Why do existing Maysee cards not go through?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. New Card watches for cards that arrive once the Zap is published, so the cards already sitting in your account are never sent, even on the first check. Moving that backlog is a separate job that the Zap does not do. The trigger test brings back the three most recent cards, but only to help you map the fields, not to send them.
06What if the Maysee operation you want is not there?
Then Zapier cannot do it with Maysee today. The editor offers one operation for this app, the New Card trigger. There is no action, so nothing can be created or changed in Maysee from a Zap, and no search to look up an older card. Everything else happens in the apps that follow the trigger. The Maysee app page on zapier.com lists what the app offers at any given time, so check it before you plan around a missing step.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Maysee?
Decide on criteria, not on a ranking. First confirm that Maysee is offered on the platform you have in mind, because this page only covers Zapier. Then look at how often a new card needs to reach the next app, how each tool counts runs against your volume of cards, and who will maintain the Zap. On Zapier, the check interval of New Card depends on your plan, so speed is part of the price you pick.
