Morphais Zapier integrationAutomate Morphais with Zapier.
The Morphais Zapier integration has 1 trigger, no action and no search. That single trigger, New Startups, is a polling one: Zapier checks Morphais at your plan's interval and passes each newly published startup to the tools you choose. Here is how to use it well and what it costs.

What the Morphais Zapier integration actually does
Morphais is a data platform that publishes (pre-)seed startups and founders still in stealth. The integration plugs it into Zapier, so a Zap (the automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time it fires) can carry each new startup into the tools your team already reads.
Everything starts from one trigger, so the results come from what you put after it. Three examples. A running list: each startup Morphais publishes becomes a row in your spreadsheet, where the team can sort and comment. A pipeline that fills itself: the same startup opens a record in your CRM, ready for someone to qualify it. A shared alert: a message in your team chat, so nobody has to open Morphais to know something new came in.
What Zapier does not do here matters as much. Morphais offers no action on Zapier, so a Zap cannot write anything back into Morphais: no tag, no note, no status. There is no search step either, so a Zap cannot look up a startup that was published earlier. And the trigger only sees startups published after the Zap is switched on. The trigger is a polling one too, so a new startup reaches your tools at the next check, not the moment Morphais publishes it.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words carry this page. Each one is explained once, here, then used as is.
- Zap
- The automation itself: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap. For Morphais, the only one is a new startup being published.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes or sends something. With Morphais, actions live in your other tools.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully; your plan counts those.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer: it asks the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only what it has not seen.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens. Morphais has none, so its trigger always waits for the next check.
- 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 needs a paid plan.
What it really costs
Morphais is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. You pay in tasks, and the trigger itself is free.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited two-step Zaps
- Trigger checksNever billed
- Successful action1 task each
- Premium appNo
Checking Morphais for new startups never costs a task, however often Zapier looks. Each action that succeeds in your other tools counts once, so one startup sent to a sheet and to a chat uses two tasks, and an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps. The interval grid below sets how often New Startups is checked on each plan.
Connect Morphais to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open your connections
In Zapier, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. A connection is your Morphais account linked once, then reused by every Zap that starts from Morphais.
- 02
Pick Morphais
Search for Morphais in the dialog, select it and click Add connection. You need an account on Morphais, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
A tab opens on Morphais. Sign in with your account and grant Zapier access to it. The tab closes, and the connection is ready to use as the trigger of your first Zap.
Your first Zap: new startups straight into your CRM
GoalEach startup Morphais publishes opens a record in your CRM, but only when it meets the condition you set in a filter.
- 01
Pick the Morphais trigger
Build a new Zap, choose Morphais as the trigger app and New Startups as the event, then select the connection you made above.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent startups of the connected account, so pick a real one and look at the fields it carries.
- 03
Add the filter
Add a Filter step from the plus icon and set the field to look at, the rule and the value. A filter makes this a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add the CRM action
Choose your CRM and its action to create a record. Map each CRM field to a value from the Morphais sample, one field at a time, then test the step.
- 05
Publish
Read the record the test created in your CRM. If it looks right, publish the Zap to switch it on; from then on, Zapier checks Morphais at your plan's interval.
The Morphais trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Morphais. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Startups
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when new startups are published by Morphais.”
Hands your Zap each startup Morphais publishes, one at a time, so the next steps can record it, route it or announce it in another tool. It is the only door into Morphais data on Zapier.
When a Morphais Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Morphais, so the known failure points are the general ones of any Zap built on a polling trigger.
Read these three cases before you publish. If a Zap still stops, our Zapier troubleshooting page is the next place to go.
Nothing from before the Zap
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Startups published earlier are not picked up; moving that backlog is a separate job.A large batch 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.The same startup, once
On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same startup does not start the Zap twice.
