What the Meg Zapier integration does for your school
The Meg Zapier integration connects Meg, a language learning platform for schools built around Mandarin and Spanish, to your other tools. It works both ways: a completed course or lesson in Meg can start a Zap, and a Zap can enrol a learner in a course or a group, or remove them.
Three results cover the core of it.
A learning path that moves on by itself. Course Completed followed by Assign User to Course enrols the learner in the next course the moment they finish one. Enrolment straight from a sign-up form. A new entry in your form tool runs Assign User to Group, and the learner joins the right class in Meg without anyone typing their email. A teacher who hears about progress. Lesson Completed posts a message in the staff chat when a learner finishes a key lesson.
What Zapier does not do here. Each trigger asks for the ID of the course or lesson to follow, so check at the test what it reacts to. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up a learner, a course or a group in Meg. The actions only add or remove a learner, by email; they do not create courses, groups or user accounts. And nothing finished before your Zap went live is replayed.
Both triggers are instant, so even the free plan gets them without waiting. To compare platforms, see our Make vs Zapier comparison or our n8n vs Zapier comparison.
Zapier vocabulary, without the jargon
Eight terms come back on this page. Here is each one in plain words.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap, like a learner completing a course in Meg. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like enrolling a learner.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's allowance is a count of those.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval. Neither Meg trigger works this way.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, calling Zapier the moment the event happens, with no check to wait for. Both Meg triggers are.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry 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 Meg on Zapier really costs
Meg is not a premium app: its two triggers and four actions are open on the free plan.
- Premium appNo, open on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited two-step Zaps
- BilledEach successful action, never the trigger
- Meg triggersBoth instant, no polling interval
A completed course or lesson that starts a Zap costs nothing, because the trigger never uses a task. Each action that succeeds counts as one task, whether it assigns a learner in Meg or posts a message elsewhere; an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger, one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, and that needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is how often Zapier checks polling triggers on each plan; it does not apply to Meg, whose two triggers are instant.
Connect your Meg account to Zapier
- 01
Open Apps and add a connection
In Zapier, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. A connection is your Meg account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that works with Meg.
- 02
Pick Meg
Search for Meg in the dialog, select it and click Add connection. You need a Meg account to sign in with: the one where your courses and groups live.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Meg in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. For anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch, you also need read or write access to it.
Your first Zap: enrol the next course and tell the teacher
GoalWhen a learner completes a Meg course, they are assigned to the next one and the teacher gets a message. Two actions make it a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap, pick Meg as the app that starts it and Course Completed as the event. Select your Meg connection, then enter the Course ID of the course to watch.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test and read what comes back. Check there whether a learner's email is part of it, since every Meg action needs one to work.
- 03
Add Assign User to Course
Add Meg with Assign User to Course, pick the next course and map the learner's email into the Email field, the only one the action requires.
- 04
Add the teacher's message
Add your chat tool as a second action and map the learner and course details. This second action is what makes the Zap multi-step.
- 05
Test and publish
Test each action, read the results carefully and check that the right learner was assigned, then click Publish. Each completion now costs two tasks.
Meg triggers on Zapier
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Meg, and 2 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
Course Completed
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when the selected course is completed.”
Starts your Zap when a learner finishes the course you chose in Meg, and passes that completion to the next steps.
Lesson Completed
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when the selected lesson is completed.”
Fires each time a learner completes the lesson you picked in Meg, a finer step than a whole course.
Meg actions on Zapier
Meg gives you 4 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Assign User to Course
ActionIn Zapier“Assigns a user to the selected course.”
Enrols a learner in the Meg course you select, using their email address.
Assign User to Group
ActionIn Zapier“Assignes a user to the selected group”
Places a learner, identified by email, in the Meg group you choose.
Unassign User From Course
ActionIn Zapier“Unassigns a user from the selected course.”
Takes a learner off a Meg course, again by email.
Unassign User From Group
ActionIn Zapier“Unassigns a user from the selected group”
Removes a learner from the Meg group you select, based on their email address.
When a Meg Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Meg and no limit specific to the app is on record. The risks come from Meg's required IDs and email, and from how Zapier works in general.
Four cases to read before you publish. Most of them will not look like an error: the Zap simply does more, or less, than you planned. If a Zap still misbehaves after these checks, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
Two IDs kept in two places
Course ID sits in the course's Settings, under Basic Information; the Lesson ID sits in the lesson's Settings, in the Zapier section. Check at the test which one you entered.No email, no assignment
All four Meg actions require the learner's Email. Before publishing, check at the test that the step before them actually carries that address.Past completions are not replayed
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it goes live. Courses and lessons finished before that are not picked up; handling them is a separate job.A sudden flood is held back
If a trigger suddenly sends a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back.
