Overview

What the More Trees Zapier integration does

The More Trees Zapier integration lets your other apps plant trees through More Trees without anyone logging in. A Zap (the automation you build on Zapier: one event that starts it, then the steps that follow) catches an event elsewhere and passes it to a More Trees action, with the quantity you set.

Three results people set up. Trees tied to a payment: your billing tool reports a payment and Plant Trees for Self plants the quantity you chose on your own account. Trees as a thank-you: a form response or a new row carries a person's name and email, and Plant Trees for Others plants trees in their name. A watch on your balance: View Credits reads the credits left on the platform, so a later step can pass what it returns to your team.

What Zapier does not do for More Trees: it cannot start a Zap from More Trees, since the app has no trigger on Zapier. Nothing planted, gifted or credited in More Trees can set a Zap off. There is no search either. And Zapier does not decide how many trees: Quantity is a required field you fill in, or map from an earlier step. View Credits only reads: it changes nothing in your account.

Choosing the automation tool is a separate call. See our Make vs Zapier comparison, then our Zapier alternatives page.

Vocabulary

Seven Zapier words, plainly

These terms come back through the page. One line each.

Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. With More Trees, it always sits in another app, since More Trees has none.
Action
What the Zap does once it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you. Planting a tree is one.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completed successfully. Your plan's allowance counts those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeping only unseen ones.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself: it calls Zapier the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for a check.
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 filter or a second action makes one, and it needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a More Trees Zap costs on Zapier

Zapier bills tasks, not trees. The trigger in the other app costs nothing; each More Trees action that succeeds costs one task, and a failed one is not counted.

  • TriggerNever costs a task
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • More TreesNot a premium app

The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger, one action. A payment that plants trees fits. Planting and then reading your credits is two actions, so the Zap is multi-step, needs a paid plan and uses two tasks per run. More Trees is not a premium app. Because the trigger lives in another app, the interval grid below applies only if that trigger is a polling one.

Connect

Connect your More Trees account to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open Apps

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your More Trees account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every More Trees step.

  2. 02

    Pick More Trees

    Search for More Trees in the dialog, select it and click Add connection. You need an account on the app, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to More Trees in the tab that opens, then grant Zapier access to the account. More Trees then appears in the editor as an action app, never as the app that starts a Zap.

First Zap

Your first Zap: plant trees on each payment and report the balance

GoalWhen your billing tool records a payment, plant trees on your More Trees account, read the credits left, then post them in your team chat.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and set the trigger

    Start a new Zap and choose your billing tool with its new-payment event. Connect it and test: Zapier brings back the three most recent items so you map from a real payment.

  2. 02

    Add Plant Trees for Self

    Add More Trees with Plant Trees for Self and set Quantity, the one required field. Test the step and read what came back before going further.

  3. 03

    Add View Credits

    Add a second More Trees action, View Credits, which reads the credits left on the platform. A second action makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  4. 04

    Add the chat message

    Add your team chat and build a short message from what View Credits returned in its test. Test this step too and read what came back before going further.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Publish the Zap to switch it on. Each payment from then on runs the three actions, which means three tasks per payment when all of them succeed.

Actions

More Trees actions

More Trees gives you 3 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Plant Trees for Self

Action

In Zapier“Plant Trees For Self”

Plants trees on your own More Trees account, in the quantity the step gives it, each time the Zap runs.

When to use it
tie planting to a recurring event in another tool, such as a payment in your billing tool, without remembering to do it by hand.
Watch out
Quantity is required; a fixed number plants the same amount on every run, so think about volume before you publish.
2

Plant Trees for Others

Action

In Zapier“Plant a tree for others”

Plants trees in another person's name, using the recipient's name and email address that an earlier step provides.

When to use it
thank someone who filled in a form, signed up or bought from you, with trees planted on their behalf.
Watch out
Recipients Name, Recipients Email and Quantity are all required, so the trigger must carry a name and an email you can map.
3

View Credits

Action

In Zapier“View remaining credits on platform”

Reads the credits you have left on the More Trees platform and hands the result to the following steps.

When to use it
post your remaining balance to the team, or add it to a tracking sheet, after each planting run.
Watch out
what it returns is not documented here, so read its test before mapping anything; and although it changes nothing, each successful run uses one task.
When it breaks

When a More Trees Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to More Trees and lists no limit of its own for it. What goes wrong comes from how Zaps work in general.

These three cases are the documented ones for a Zap that ends in More Trees. For any other case, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Past payments plant nothing

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Payments or responses that already existed are not picked up; handling them is a separate job.

  • A big batch gets held back

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

  • The same item will not run twice

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

FAQ

More Trees Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the More Trees Zapier integration free?
Yes. More Trees is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan, which gives you 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps. Each Zap on that plan has two steps: one trigger and one action. A form response that plants trees for someone fits. Planting and then reading your credits, or adding a filter, turns it into a multi-step Zap that needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a More Trees Zap use?
One per action that succeeds, each time the Zap runs, whatever quantity of trees the action plants. The trigger in the other app costs nothing, and a failed action is not counted. A Zap that plants trees for each new payment uses one task per payment. One that plants, reads the credits and posts a message uses three, since every successful action is counted on its own. A few apps and actions take more than one task.
03Is More Trees on Zapier real time?
It depends on the app that starts the Zap, because More Trees has no trigger. If that app's trigger is instant, the Zap starts the moment the event happens, whatever your plan, and More Trees acts right after. If it is a polling trigger, Zapier checks on a timer: every 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. In the editor, a lightning bolt marks an instant trigger.
04What do you need to connect More Trees to Zapier?
An account on More Trees, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. You open Apps, click + Add connection, search for More Trees, then sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. The app that starts the Zap needs its own connection too, made the same way. Each connection is made once, then reused by every later step that uses that app.
05Can a Zap plant trees in a customer's name?
Yes, with Plant Trees for Others. It plants trees for another person and needs three things, all required: the recipient's name, the recipient's email and a quantity. The name and email have to come from the step that starts the Zap, such as a form response or a new row, so check at test that your trigger returns them. If you only want trees on your own account, Plant Trees for Self needs just a quantity.
06What if the More Trees operation you want is not there?
Then Zapier does not offer it for More Trees today. The More Trees page on Zapier shows the current list: three actions, Plant Trees for Self, Plant Trees for Others and View Credits, with no trigger and no search. So no Zap can react to something happening inside More Trees, and anything beyond planting or reading credits has to be done in More Trees itself. If the missing piece is the starting event, look for it in the app where it happens instead.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for More Trees?
Choose on criteria, not on a ranking. First, which tool offers the More Trees actions you need; on Zapier, three actions and no trigger. Second, how each tool counts usage against the number of planting runs you expect. Third, which tool your team already knows, because someone has to look after the automation. On Zapier, how fast a planting starts depends on the trigger of the other app, instant or polling.
