What the Modash Zapier integration actually does
Modash is an influencer tool that helps brands find creators who speak to their audience. The integration links it to Zapier, so a creator's Instagram handle collected in another app can be turned into a full Modash profile without opening Modash. One operation, an action, and it works on the free plan.
Applications that arrive with the profile attached. When creators apply through your form, Get Influencer Profile takes the Instagram handle they typed and returns their Modash profile, ready to file next to the application.
A creator sheet that fills itself in. Add a handle to a row of your spreadsheet, and a Zap fetches the profile and writes what you need back into another sheet or tool. Check at test time which profile values come back before you pick columns.
Richer creator records in your CRM. A new contact with an Instagram handle can start a Zap that pulls the Modash profile, so your team sees more than a name.
What Zapier does not do here. Modash has no trigger on Zapier, so nothing in Modash can start a Zap: the event always comes from another app. There is no search step either, and the only action reads a profile, it does not create or change anything in Modash.

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. With Modash it always sits in another app, such as your form tool.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or fetches something for you, like a profile.
- 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.
What it really costs
Modash is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. What you pay for is tasks.
- Premium appNo, works on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Get Influencer ProfileOne task when it succeeds
- Failed actionNot counted
The trigger, which lives in another app, never costs a task. Each Get Influencer Profile that succeeds counts as one task, and an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only. That is enough to fetch a profile, but not to do something with it: writing the profile into a sheet is a second action, so the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan. If the other app's trigger works by polling, the grid below says how often Zapier checks it.
Connect Modash to Zapier in 3 steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Modash account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Pick Modash
Type Modash 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.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Modash in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. The connection is then reused by every Modash step in every Zap, so you only link the account once.
Your first Zap: every creator application, enriched in your sheet
GoalA creator applies through your form: Modash fetches the profile behind their Instagram handle, and a row with the essentials lands in your spreadsheet.
- 01
Create the Zap and pick the trigger
Start a new Zap with your form app and its new-entry event. Test it: Zapier brings back the three most recent entries of the connected account, so you map from a real one.
- 02
Add Get Influencer Profile
Add a step, choose Modash and Get Influencer Profile, then map the Instagram handle field from the form. Test the step and read which profile values came back.
- 03
Add the spreadsheet row
Pick your spreadsheet app and its add-row action, then map the form answers and the profile values into columns. Two actions make the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Test the whole Zap
Run each step once and check the row it wrote. If a column comes out empty, go back to the mapping before you switch anything on.
- 05
Publish
Click Publish to switch the Zap on. It only reacts to entries that arrive after that moment; earlier applications are not picked up.
Modash actions
Modash gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Get Influencer Profile
ActionIn Zapier“Return full profile of the user”
Takes an Instagram handle from an earlier step and returns the full Modash profile of that creator for the steps that follow to store or share.
When the Modash Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Modash, so the risks below are the ones every Zap shares.
These limits come from Zapier itself and apply to every app, Modash 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. Applications or rows that 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 into your sheet 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.
