Overview

What the Mobimag Zapier integration does

It connects Mobimag, a tool for publishing magazines and earning money from them, to the rest of your apps. A Zap, the automation you build on Zapier, starts when a reader submits their contact details on your Mobimag publication, and then does something with them in another app.

Readers become CRM contacts. New Contact picks up each set of details a reader leaves, and the Zap creates the matching contact in your CRM, ready for the follow-up you run from there.

A mailing list that grows with the magazine. The same trigger can add each reader to your email tool, so the people who read one issue hear about the next.

A log you can sort and share. A spreadsheet row per reader gives you a plain record of who signed up, without exporting anything by hand.

One polling trigger. Zapier checks Mobimag on a timer, every 15 minutes on the free plan, so a new reader reaches your other tools at the next check.

What Zapier does not do here. Mobimag has a single trigger and no action or search on Zapier: a Zap cannot publish, edit or look up anything in Mobimag, and nothing other than a new contact starts a Zap. To weigh other tools, see our n8n vs Zapier guide and our Make vs Zapier guide.

Vocabulary

Zapier in one minute

Seven words you will meet in the editor, in plain terms.

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, here a reader submitting details on Mobimag. 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, always in another app here.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The number on your plan counts those and nothing else.
Polling vs instant trigger
A polling trigger, like New Contact, is checked on a timer for new items. An instant trigger is reported by its app the moment the event happens.
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 second action or a filter makes one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a Mobimag Zap really costs

Zapier bills tasks, and a reader leaving their details costs nothing by itself. The trigger is free, and so is every check Zapier runs on your publication.

  • Mobimag on the free planYes, not reserved for paid plans
  • Free plan tasks100 per month
  • Free plan Zap size2 steps: one trigger, one action
  • Mobimag trigger1, polling

Only the action in your other app counts: one task each time it succeeds, nothing when it fails. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each capped at two steps, which is New Contact plus one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step and needs a paid plan. A few apps and actions take more than one task. The interval grid below applies to New Contact, a polling trigger. To compare plans, see our Zapier review.

Connect

Connect Mobimag to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open Apps and add a connection

    In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. A dialog opens with a search box where you find any app Zapier supports by its name.

  2. 02

    Pick Mobimag and confirm

    Type Mobimag, select it in the results, then click Add connection. A new tab opens, where you sign in to Mobimag with the account that owns your publication.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Allow Zapier to access the account. You need an account on Mobimag, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. Every Mobimag Zap then reuses this connection.

First Zap

Your first Zap: readers into your CRM

GoalCreate a CRM contact for each reader who leaves their details on your Mobimag publication, keeping only those who meet a condition you set.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and pick the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose Mobimag as the trigger app and New Contact as the event, then pick the Mobimag connection you made earlier.

  2. 02

    Enter the Publication ID

    Type the Publication ID, the last part of your publication's address. For mobimag.co/my-magazine that is my-magazine, nothing more.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent contacts of that publication, so you map on a real reader and see which details come through.

  4. 04

    Add the filter and your CRM

    Add a Filter from the plus icon (field, rule, value; it needs a paid plan), then your CRM with its contact-creation action, and map the reader's details into it.

  5. 05

    Test and publish

    Test the CRM step and read what came back. Then click Publish: Zapier now checks your publication at the interval of your plan.

Triggers

The Mobimag trigger

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

1

New Contact

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a user submits their contact details on your Mobimag.”

Starts your Zap each time a reader submits their contact details on your Mobimag publication, so those details can travel to the tool where you follow up.

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
your magazine asks readers to leave their details, and you want each one in your CRM, your mailing tool or a sheet without exporting them.
Watch out
Publication ID is required and comes from your publication's address, the part after the domain; if the test brings back nothing, check the ID first.
When it breaks

When a Mobimag Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Mobimag, so the cases below are the general limits every Zap runs into.

  • No backlog pickup

    A Zap only reacts to contacts submitted after you switch it on. Readers who signed up before are never sent; moving them is a separate job.

  • Bulk batches held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.

  • One contact, one run

    On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same contact does not start the Zap twice.

  • A filter that never passes

    Filter rules are typed: a text rule only works on text and a number rule only on numbers. Picking the wrong one is why a filter never lets anything through.

FAQ

Mobimag and Zapier: frequent questions

01Is the Mobimag Zapier integration free?
Yes. Mobimag is not reserved for paid plans, so it works on the free plan: 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each limited to two steps, one trigger and one action. New Contact followed by a new row in your spreadsheet fits exactly. Add a filter to keep only some readers, or a second action, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. On the free plan, Zapier also checks your publication every 15 minutes.
02How many tasks does a Mobimag Zap use?
Only the actions count. Mobimag has no action of its own, so the trigger and every check Zapier makes for new contacts cost nothing. If your Zap creates a CRM contact for each reader, that is one task per reader when the contact is created, and none when it fails. A Zap that also adds the reader to your mailing tool uses two tasks per reader. A few apps and actions take more than one task when they complete, so watch your count after the first runs.
03Does Mobimag work in real time with Zapier?
No. New Contact is a polling trigger: Zapier asks Mobimag for new contacts at a fixed interval, then keeps only those it has not seen before. That interval depends on your plan: 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. On a paid plan you can change how often it checks and run a check by hand from the editor. A reader who signs up therefore reaches your other tools at the next check, not on the spot.
04What does connecting Mobimag to Zapier require?
An account on Mobimag, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. You create the connection once from the Apps page with + Add connection, sign in to Mobimag in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. Every Mobimag Zap reuses it afterwards. The trigger also needs the Publication ID of the magazine you want to watch, so have its address at hand before you build.
05Where do you find the Mobimag Publication ID?
In your publication's address bar. The Publication ID is the part that follows the domain: whatever comes after mobimag.co and the slash is the ID to type in New Contact, with no domain and no slash in front. The field is required, so fill it in before you test. If the test brings back no contacts, check the ID first, then make sure the publication belongs to the account you connected and that at least one reader has submitted details.
06What if the Mobimag operation you need is not available?
Open the Mobimag page on Zapier, which shows the current set of operations: one trigger, New Contact, with no action and no search. A Zap therefore cannot publish, update or look up anything in Mobimag; it only carries new reader contacts out to other apps. If you want to react to something else that happens in Mobimag, Zapier cannot start from it, and the tool where that event happens would have to start the Zap instead.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Mobimag?
Decide by criterion, not by brand. On Zapier, Mobimag gives you one polling trigger on new reader contacts, with the plan interval deciding how soon each one travels, and billing on the actions in your other apps only. A simple two-step Zap stays on the free plan. For Make or n8n, the first check is whether either one offers a Mobimag connector with the reader event you need; this page covers Zapier only.
