Overview

What the Moaform Zapier integration does for you

The Moaform Zapier integration links your Moaform account to Zapier, so each new response to a survey you own can set off steps in other apps. Moaform is a survey platform for collecting feedback from customers and from employees. The flow runs one way: answers leave Moaform and land where your team already works.

Everything rests on New Submission, so the results are about where the answers go. A living results sheet: each response becomes a row in a spreadsheet you can sort, chart and share, without exporting from Moaform. A follow-up that does not wait: the response goes out as an email to whoever should react, while the feedback is still fresh. A record next to the person: the answers are copied into the contact list of another tool, so the next conversation starts with what that person said.

What Zapier does not do here: it cannot write anything into Moaform. There is no action, so no Zap can create a survey, send an invitation or change a response. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot fetch an older response halfway through. And the trigger only sees surveys owned by the account you connect.

If you are comparing platforms, see our n8n vs Zapier guide and our Make vs Zapier guide, and check first that the tool you pick offers a Moaform connection.

Vocabulary

Zapier in one minute

Seven words come back on every Zapier page. Here they are once, in plain terms.

Zap
The automation you build: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event that starts the Zap, here a new response to a Moaform survey. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, here always in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's allowance is a count of those.
Instant vs polling
An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment it happens. A polling one is checked by Zapier on a timer instead.
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 or a filter makes it one, and then it needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a Moaform Zap really costs

Moaform is not one of the apps Zapier keeps for paid plans, so it runs on the free plan.

  • TriggerNever counted
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Paid plan onlySecond action, filter

The New Submission trigger never costs a task. Each action that goes through counts as one task, and an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each capped at two steps: the trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes it a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The grid below is how often Zapier checks polling triggers on each plan; it does not apply to Moaform, whose only trigger is instant.

Connect

Connect Moaform to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Moaform account linked once, then reused by every Zap that starts from Moaform.

  2. 02

    Find Moaform

    Type Moaform in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the results, then click Add connection. A new tab opens so you can sign in to your Moaform account.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Moaform in that tab and grant Zapier access. You need an account on Moaform, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

First Zap

Your first Moaform Zap: a results sheet plus an alert

GoalEach new response to your Moaform survey is added to a shared spreadsheet, then an email tells the person in charge that it arrived.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap, choose Moaform as the app and New Submission as the event, then pick your connection and the survey in the Form box. A lightning bolt shows it is instant.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent responses of the connected account. Pick a real one so each answer can be mapped from actual values.

  3. 03

    Add the spreadsheet row

    Add the action that writes a row and map each answer to a column. Which answers come through is something to read at the test, not to guess.

  4. 04

    Add the email

    Add the email action after it. Two actions make this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan, and each response uses two tasks when both steps work.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run each step once and read what came back before going further. When the row and the email look right, click Publish to switch the Zap on.

Triggers

The Moaform trigger

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

1

New Submission

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new form submission is received.”

Each time someone completes the Moaform survey you picked, this trigger hands the response to the Zap, so the answers can be filed, shared or acted on in another tool.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
feedback from customers or from your staff should reach a sheet, an inbox or a contact record without anyone exporting results.
Watch out
the Form box is required and only shows surveys owned by the connected account, so connect the owner's account.
When it breaks

When a Moaform Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to Moaform, so the limits below are the ones every Zap shares, plus the survey ownership rule.

Rule them out one by one before you suspect Moaform itself. When something looks off, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Earlier responses stay behind

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Responses collected before that are not picked up; moving them is a separate job.
  • The survey is not in the list

    The Form box only lists surveys owned by the connected account. A survey owned by someone else will not show up there.
  • A sudden batch can be held back

    If a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration for instance, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
  • Watch for loops

    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 tasks fast.

FAQ

Moaform Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the Moaform Zapier integration free?
Yes. Moaform is not one of the apps Zapier keeps for paid plans, so it works on the free plan. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. Sending each survey response to a spreadsheet fits within that. Sending it to a spreadsheet and also emailing someone does not, because two actions make a multi-step Zap, and a multi-step Zap needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Moaform Zap use?
One per action that goes through, and nothing for the trigger. A response written to a spreadsheet costs one task; if the same Zap also sends an email, that response costs two. A survey that gets no answers costs nothing at all, since the trigger never bills. An action that fails is not counted against your plan either. Check your task count after the first real responses to see what your Zap spends.
03Does Moaform send responses to Zapier in real time?
Yes. New Submission is an instant trigger: the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The polling interval of the plans, 15 minutes on the free one, does not apply to it. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt, which is an easy way to confirm it. The type is set by the app and cannot be changed from the editor.
04What does it take to connect Moaform to Zapier?
An account on Moaform, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. The moves are short: open Apps in Zapier, click + Add connection, search for Moaform and pick it, click Add connection, sign in to Moaform in the tab that opens, then grant Zapier access. Every Zap that starts from Moaform then reuses that connection, so you only do this once per account.
05Why is a Moaform survey missing from the Form list?
Because the Form box of New Submission only lists surveys owned by the connected account. If a colleague created the survey under their own Moaform account, it will not appear in yours. The box is required, so the Zap cannot be set up without picking a survey there. Connect the account that owns the survey, then pick it in the Form box. The same rule applies to every survey you want to automate, so check ownership before you start.
06What if the Moaform event or action you want is not there?
Then Zapier cannot do it with Moaform today. Moaform's page on Zapier shows the current list, and right now it holds a single trigger, New Submission, with no action and no search. That means no Zap can create a survey, send invitations or change a response inside Moaform. If your process depends on writing into Moaform, check whether another automation tool offers a Moaform connection with that operation before you build around the gap.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Moaform?
Decide on criteria, not on a ranking. Coverage: Zapier offers the New Submission trigger ready to use; check whether Make or n8n has a Moaform connection at all. Speed: on Zapier that trigger is instant, so the plans' polling interval does not apply. Steps: a two-step Zap fits Zapier's free plan, while a filter or a second action needs a paid plan. Weigh those three points against what you do with survey answers once they arrive.
