MemoMeister Zapier integrationAutomate MemoMeister with Zapier.
The MemoMeister Zapier integration gives you 4 triggers, 4 actions and 2 searches. All four triggers are checked on a timer, so how fast a Zap reacts depends on your plan. Here is what each step does, what it costs and where it trips.

What the MemoMeister Zapier integration does
The MemoMeister Zapier integration connects your MemoMeister project files to other tools through Zaps, the automations you build on Zapier. MemoMeister documents projects with memos: photos, videos, plans or forms, each with a description, kept in a structured digital project file. On Zapier it can start a Zap, file new memos and folders, and look them up.
Three results worth building, each on a real step. A heads-up when something lands in a project: New Memo Inside a Specific Folder watches one folder, and the next step tells whoever follows that project. A project file set up from elsewhere: Create Folder opens a folder by name, and Move Folder puts it where it belongs. And notes filed without opening the app: Create Text-Memo turns a text from another tool into a memo, while Create Memo does the same with a file.
Picture a project folder that several people feed from their phones. Each new memo in it can post a line in the team chat, so nobody has to check the folder to know something arrived (and nobody misses the photo that changes the plan).
What Zapier does not do here. Its triggers are not instant: Zapier checks for new memos and folders at your plan's interval. The folder-specific triggers ignore subfolders, so a memo dropped one level deeper does not count. And there is no step to delete, rename or comment on a memo from a Zap.

Zapier words, in one minute
Eight Zapier terms run through this page. One plain line each, then they are used as is.
- Zap
- The automation itself: 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. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it: here, a new memo or a new folder.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like creating a folder.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. The count on your plan is a count of those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked on a timer, at an interval set by your plan. An instant one is reported by its app when the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it otherwise.
- Search step
- A step that looks up something that already exists in an app, so the steps after it can use what it found.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter, a search or a second action makes one, and it needs a paid plan.
What a MemoMeister Zap costs
MemoMeister is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. Its triggers never cost a task, and Zapier checking for new memos is free however often it happens.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps of two steps each
- Premium appNo, MemoMeister runs on the free plan
- Trigger checksFree, at your plan's interval
- Search or filterMakes the Zap multi-step, paid plan needed
Only completed actions are billed: each Create Memo, Create Folder or Move Folder that succeeds counts as one task, and one that fails does not. The free plan stops at one trigger and one action, so a search or a filter makes the Zap multi-step and paid. All four MemoMeister triggers are polling ones, so the grid below sets how often Zapier looks. Checks and triggers never add anything to that monthly count.
Connect your MemoMeister account
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your MemoMeister account linked once, then reused by every MemoMeister step in your Zaps.
- 02
Pick MemoMeister
Search MemoMeister in the dialog, pick it, then click Add connection. You need a MemoMeister account first, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
A tab opens on MemoMeister. Sign in and grant Zapier access to the account. From then on, any MemoMeister trigger, action or search in your Zaps can use that connection.
Your first MemoMeister Zap
GoalWhen a memo lands in one project folder and matches your rule, post a line in the team chat.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap in the editor. It will have three steps: the new memo, a filter and the chat message. The filter makes it a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan.
- 02
Set the trigger
Choose MemoMeister, then New Memo Inside a Specific Folder, and pick the folder to watch. Memos added to its subfolders will not start this Zap.
- 03
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so map the next steps on a real memo and read which fields come with it.
- 04
Add the filter
Add a Filter step and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule and the value to compare with. A text rule only works on text, so pick the right kind.
- 05
Add the chat step, test, publish
Add your chat app's action and map the memo's description into the message. Test each step, read what came back, then publish the Zap to switch it on.
The 4 MemoMeister triggers
4 events start a Zap when something happens in MemoMeister. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Memo
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new memo is added (inside any folder).”
Starts your Zap when a memo is added anywhere in your MemoMeister account, whatever folder it ends up in, so one Zap can follow every new piece of documentation.
New Memo Inside a Specific Folder
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new memo is added inside a specific folder (but not its subfolders).”
Watches one folder you pick and starts your Zap when a new memo is added right inside it, leaving the rest of the account aside.
New Folder
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new folder is added (inside any folder).”
Fires whenever a folder is created anywhere in the account, at any level, so one Zap can follow every new folder.
New Folder Inside a Specific Folder
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new folder is added to a specific folder (but not its subfolders).”
Keeps an eye on one parent folder and starts your Zap when a folder is created directly inside it.
The 4 MemoMeister actions
MemoMeister gives you 4 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Memo
ActionIn Zapier“Create a new Memo in MemoMeister.”
Files a document as a memo in MemoMeister, from a file that an earlier step carried in, with the description you set.
Create Folder
ActionIn Zapier“Create a new Folder in MemoMeister”
Opens a new folder in MemoMeister under the name you give it, ready to receive memos.
Create Text-Memo
ActionIn Zapier“Create a new Text-Memo in MemoMeister”
Writes a memo made of plain text, with a description and the text itself, without needing any file.
Move Folder
ActionIn Zapier“Move a folder from one folder to another in MemoMeister”
Moves an existing folder from where it sits into another folder you choose, so the project file is reorganized without anyone dragging it by hand.
The 2 MemoMeister searches
2 search steps look for data that already exists in MemoMeister, so a later step can use it.
A search step finds something that already exists and hands it to the next steps. On MemoMeister, it is how a Zap gets hold of the right folder or memo. Three settings decide what happens around it.
Find a Folder
SearchFind or createIn Zapier“Search for a specific Folder by its name.”
Looks up a folder by its name and passes it to the next steps, for example as the destination of Move Folder.
Find a Memo
SearchFind or createIn Zapier“Search for a specific Memo by its description.”
Finds a memo by its description and hands it to the steps that follow.
The three settings every search exposes
- Successful if no search results are found?Left on its default, a search that finds nothing stops the Zap there and skips the steps that depended on it. Switched on, the Zap carries on empty-handed.
- Create X if it doesn't exist yet?Ticking this box turns the search into a find-or-create: the setting above disappears, and the step asks for the fields needed to create the missing item.
- If multiple search results are found?Three ways out when several items match: keep the first one, which is the default, stop the Zap, or hand all of them on at once.
When a MemoMeister Zap breaks
Zapier ties no help article to MemoMeister and lists no limit of its own. What goes wrong is what goes wrong on any Zap, applied to folders and memos.
Four cases to know before you rely on the Zap. If a run fails and the cause is unclear, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
Existing memos are not picked up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is published. Memos and folders already in the account stay out; moving that backlog is a separate job.A folder Zap that restarts itself
A Zap that writes where its own trigger looks can set itself off again and again and burn through tasks. Keep what a Zap creates away from what it watches.A bulk upload can be held back
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold that batch back.No double start on the same memo
On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same memo or folder does not start the Zap twice.
