What the Minelead Zapier integration does
The Minelead Zapier integration links your Minelead account, an email finder for lead generation, to Zapier, the tool that chains apps together. A lead found in Minelead can then travel into another app without anyone copying it by hand. Minelead plays a single role here: it starts the automation, and it never receives anything back.
Three results people build from the single New Lead trigger. A spreadsheet row per lead: the trigger hands each new lead to Zapier, and a spreadsheet action writes it into a sheet your team already reads. A message in your team chat: same trigger, but the action posts a short note so someone picks the lead up. A contact in your CRM: the trigger feeds an action of the CRM you use, so nobody retypes the lead by hand.
What Zapier does not do for Minelead matters just as much. There is no action and no search for it. A Zap cannot add a lead to Minelead, change one, or look one up in your account: data only flows one way, out of Minelead. And New Lead is not instant. Zapier checks Minelead on a timer, every 15 minutes on the free plan, so plan your follow-up around that rhythm rather than expecting an immediate reaction.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words you will meet in the editor, in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Here it is New Lead in Minelead; 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 action your Zap completes successfully. The monthly count on your plan is a count of these.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer: it asks the app for new items and keeps only those it has not seen. New Lead works this way.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, calling Zapier when the event happens, so nothing waits for the next check. Minelead has none.
- 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 second action, a filter or a search makes one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What a Minelead Zap really costs
Short version: watching Minelead is free, and you only pay in tasks for what the Zap does next.
- TriggerNever counts as a task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
- Premium appNo, Minelead works on the free plan
The New Lead trigger never costs a task, however often Zapier checks. Each action that succeeds counts as one task, so a lead sent to two apps costs two. A failed action is not counted. Minelead is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. A filter or a search turns the Zap into a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan, since the free plan stops each Zap at two steps. How often Zapier checks Minelead depends on your plan:
Connect Minelead to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open your connections
Go to the Apps page of your Zapier account and click + Add connection. What you need first: an account on Minelead, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Pick Minelead
In the dialog, search Minelead by name, pick it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens so you can sign in with the Minelead account whose leads Zapier should see.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Minelead in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection, your account linked once and then reused by every step that needs it, is ready for any Zap you build.
Your first Minelead Zap
GoalSend only the new Minelead leads that match a condition you set into a shared spreadsheet.
- 01
Set the trigger
Create a Zap, pick Minelead as the app and New Lead as the event that starts it. Choose your Minelead connection, or add it from there if you skipped the step above.
- 02
Test with real leads
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of your account, so you pick a real one and map from it instead of guessing what comes through.
- 03
Add the filter
Add a Filter step from the plus icon and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, and the value. A filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Map the spreadsheet row
Add the spreadsheet action and map the lead from the trigger into its columns. Test that step once and read what came back. For a guided start, see our Zapier training.
- 05
Publish
Click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on, Zapier checks Minelead on your plan's interval and passes along only the leads it has not seen before.
The Minelead trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Minelead. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Lead
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new lead is added.”
New Lead hands Zapier each lead that gets added to your Minelead account, so the rest of the Zap can file it, share it or store it in another tool.
When a Minelead Zap breaks
Minelead brings no documented error or limit of its own on Zapier.
What goes wrong comes from how Zapier itself works. Four cases to know before you publish. If a Zap still misbehaves after that, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
Leads from before the Zap are ignored
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Leads already sitting in Minelead are not picked up, and moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that sets itself off
As a general precaution: a Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can set itself off again and again, and burn through your task count fast.A huge batch gets held back
If Minelead suddenly returns a huge batch of leads, after a bulk import for instance, Zapier's flood protection can hold the Zap back instead of running it on every item.The same lead never runs twice
Zapier keeps track of the leads New Lead has already returned, so the same lead does not start the Zap twice, however many checks go by.
