Overview

What the Mocono Zapier integration actually does

Mocono helps website owners follow their subscribers, run their subscriptions and keep an eye on what those subscriptions charge. The integration links it to Zapier, so each change in a subscriber's status can set off work in your other apps. It works in one direction only: Mocono starts Zaps, it does not receive anything.

A welcome that goes out for free sign-ups. Free Registration starts a Zap when a free subscription account is created. Put your email tool behind it and every new free member gets added to your list without an export.

Active subscribers your team knows about. Subscription Activated fires when a subscription account is activated. A message in your team chat, or a new contact in your CRM, and nobody has to watch the Mocono dashboard.

Cancellations that do not go unnoticed. Subscription Cancelled starts a Zap when a subscription account is cancelled, so the person in charge can follow up while it still matters.

What Zapier does not do here. Mocono has no actions and no searches on Zapier: a Zap cannot create, change or look up a subscriber in Mocono. Every Zap built on this page starts in Mocono and ends in another app. The upside is speed, since all three triggers are instant.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Seven words come back on every Zapier screen. Here they are in plain English, once.

Zap
The automation you build: 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, like a cancelled subscription. 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. Your plan's quota is a count of those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it there 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 it really costs

Mocono is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. What you pay for is tasks, and with Mocono they are all spent in other apps.

  • Premium appNo, works on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • TriggersAll 3 instant, no task
  • Failed actionNot counted

The trigger never costs a task, so a new free registration that starts the Zap is free. Each action that succeeds counts as one task, and since Mocono has no actions, those tasks are the steps you add in your email tool, CRM or chat. An action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only: a filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below applies to polling triggers; it does not apply to Mocono, whose three triggers are instant.

Connect

Connect Mocono to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Mocono account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Pick Mocono

    Type Mocono in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens, and that is where the rest of the connection happens.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to Mocono in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection is then reused by every Mocono trigger in every Zap, so you only link the account once.

First Zap

Your first Zap: alert the right person when a subscription is cancelled

GoalA subscription is cancelled in Mocono: a filter keeps only the cases you care about, and an email goes to whoever handles follow-ups.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap, choose Mocono and the Subscription Cancelled event, then your connection. Test it: Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the account, so you map from a real one.

  2. 02

    Add the filter

    From the plus icon, add Filter and set the field to look at, the rule and the value. A filter makes the Zap multi-step, so this one needs a paid plan.

  3. 03

    Pick the right rule type

    Rules are typed: a text rule only works on text, a number rule only on numbers. A filter that never passes comes from the wrong rule type at this point.

  4. 04

    Add the email and test

    Choose your email tool and its send action, write the message with the values from the cancellation, then test the step and read what came back.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Click Publish to switch the Zap on. Each new cancellation reaches it straight away; the ones before that moment are not picked up.

Triggers

Mocono triggers

3 events start a Zap when something happens in Mocono, and 3 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Free Registration

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when any free subscription account is created.”

Fires whenever a free subscription account is created in Mocono, which makes it the entry point for everything you do with new free members outside Mocono.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
every free sign-up should land in your newsletter tool or in a sheet you use to follow your audience.
Watch out
activations have their own trigger, Subscription Activated; test both to see which one matches the moment you want to catch.
2

Subscription Activated

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when any subscription account is activated.”

Starts a Zap when a subscription account is activated in Mocono, the moment a subscriber becomes active and other tools should know.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
a new active subscriber should appear in your CRM or be announced in the team chat.
Watch out
run a test on a real activation and check which values come back before you map them, since your CRM may expect a field Mocono does not send.
3

Subscription Cancelled

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when any subscription account is cancelled.”

Reacts when a subscription account is cancelled in Mocono, so a lost subscriber does not slip by unseen.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
someone on your side should get an email or a chat message for each cancellation and decide whether to follow up.
Watch out
Zapier cannot reverse anything in Mocono, since the app has no actions; the Zap can only tell people or update other tools.
When it breaks

When the Mocono Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Mocono, so the risks below are the ones every Zap shares.

These limits come from Zapier itself and apply to every app, Mocono included. If one of them gets in your way, start with our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Nothing from before the Zap

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Subscribers who already existed are not picked up; moving that backlog is a separate job.
  • Flood protection on big batches

    When a trigger suddenly sends a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration for instance, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back.
  • A Zap that sets itself off

    As a general precaution, a Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can start itself again and again, and burns through your task count.

FAQ

Mocono Zapier integration: questions people ask

01Is the Mocono Zapier integration free?
Yes. Mocono is not a premium app, so it runs on the free Zapier 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. A Zap that sends an email for every cancellation fits within that. Add a filter to keep only some cancellations, or a second action such as a chat message, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Mocono Zap use?
One task per action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger. A free registration that starts the Zap costs nothing. Since Mocono has no actions of its own, every task is spent in the apps you send the data to: one email, one new contact or one message is one task each. A Zap with three actions uses three times as much as a one-action Zap. An action that fails is not counted against your plan.
03Does Mocono work in real time on Zapier?
Yes, all three triggers are instant. Free Registration, Subscription Activated and Subscription Cancelled work the same way: the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The interval grid that slows polling triggers on the free plan does not apply to any of them. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. The type is set by the app and cannot be changed from Zapier.
04What do you need to connect Mocono to Zapier?
A Mocono account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. Open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection, pick Mocono, then sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. The connection is reused by every Mocono trigger in every Zap you build, so you only do it once for that account. Each new Zap simply picks that same connection.
05Can Zapier cancel or update a Mocono subscription?
No. Mocono has 3 triggers on Zapier and no action, so nothing in the editor can create, change or cancel a subscription in Mocono. The integration works one way: events in Mocono start Zaps, and the work happens in your other apps. If a cancellation should be reversed or a plan changed, that still happens in Mocono itself. The Zap can make sure the right person knows about it at once.
06What if the Mocono operation you want is not on Zapier?
Then this integration cannot do it. The app page of Mocono on Zapier shows the current list, which today means 3 triggers and nothing else. If the missing piece is a trigger, look for the event in another app you use alongside Mocono. If it is an action in Mocono, Zapier has none to offer, so compare automation tools on that precise point, with the current list of the app page in front of you before you build anything.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Mocono?
Pick by criteria, not by a winner. Start with coverage: on Zapier, Mocono offers three instant triggers and nothing else, so check what the other tools offer for it before choosing. Then look at the apps that receive the data, since every successful action there is a task on Zapier. Speed is not an issue on Zapier here, because all three triggers are instant. Finally, consider who will maintain the Zaps: the other tools ask for more technical comfort.
