What the Motor Fiscal Zapier integration actually does
The Motor Fiscal Zapier integration sends the electronic service invoices (NFSE) that Motor Fiscal receives to your other tools. A Zap (an automation built on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions) starts on each new invoice and hands its data to the next app, without anyone retyping it.
An invoice register that fills itself. New Electronic Service Invoice (NFSE - Nota Fiscal Servico) reports each invoice Motor Fiscal receives, through its integration with the city government or through OCR, and a spreadsheet action adds it as a row.
A heads-up in your team chat. The same trigger can feed a messaging step, so a new invoice is announced where your team already reads.
Invoices sorted before they go anywhere. With a filter (paid plan), only invoices that meet your condition move on to the next step.
What Zapier does not do with Motor Fiscal: the app has no action and no search on Zapier, so a Zap cannot write into Motor Fiscal or look something up in it. The flow goes one way, out of Motor Fiscal. And invoices received before you publish the Zap are not picked up. On the plus side, the trigger is instant, so the plan interval never delays it.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words come back throughout this page. Here they are in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: 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. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it, here a new service invoice in Motor Fiscal.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, in another app since Motor Fiscal has none.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The count on your plan is a count of those, nothing else.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval. Motor Fiscal does not use this kind.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for a check. The Motor Fiscal trigger is one.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise. It needs a paid plan.
- Connection
- Your Motor Fiscal account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that uses Motor Fiscal in any of your Zaps.
What a Motor Fiscal Zap really costs
Motor Fiscal is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. You pay in tasks, and only for actions that go through.
- Motor Fiscal statusNot premium, works on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
- Motor Fiscal trigger1, instant
- Actions and searchesNone on Zapier
The trigger never costs a task, however many invoices Motor Fiscal reports. Each action that succeeds counts as one: one invoice written to a spreadsheet is one task. An action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below does not apply to the Motor Fiscal trigger, which is instant; it only concerns polling triggers from other apps.

- 02

Your first Zap: log each received invoice in a spreadsheet
GoalEach electronic service invoice Motor Fiscal receives for your company becomes a row in your spreadsheet.
- 01
Build the trigger
Create a Zap, pick Motor Fiscal as the app and New Electronic Service Invoice (NFSE - Nota Fiscal Servico) as the event, then choose your connection.
- 02
Enter the CNPJ
Type the CNPJ of the service taker, the company receiving the invoices. The help text of the field notes that your company's CNPJ is already registered on Motor Fiscal.
- 03
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so you map from a real invoice rather than from a guess.
- 04
Add the spreadsheet row
Add your spreadsheet app as the action with its add-row event, then map the invoice values from the test into your columns.
- 05
Optional message (paid plan)
A message after the row turns the Zap into a multi-step one, which needs a paid plan, and each successful action is counted as its own task.
- 06
Test and publish
Test each action once and read what came back, then publish the Zap to switch it on. Invoices received before publishing are not picked up.
Motor Fiscal trigger on Zapier
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Motor Fiscal, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Electronic Service Invoice (NFSE - Nota Fiscal Servico)
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when Electronic Service Invoice (NFSE) after the receipt by Motor Fiscal by the integration with city government or OCR”
Starts your Zap each time Motor Fiscal receives an electronic service invoice for the company you set, whether it came through the integration with the city government or through OCR. It is the only Motor Fiscal operation on Zapier, so every Zap with this app begins here and sends the invoice data on to another tool.
When a Motor Fiscal Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Motor Fiscal, and no limit specific to the app is documented. The cases below come from how every Zap behaves, plus the one requirement the trigger states.
Four situations to know before you publish. When a run does not do what you expected, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
The CNPJ field is required
The trigger asks for the CNPJ of the service taker; its help text says your company's CNPJ is already registered on Motor Fiscal. Check the value on the trigger test.No backlog
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Invoices received earlier are not picked up; moving them is a separate job.A Zap that sets itself off
A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can start itself again and again and burn through tasks. Keep the source and the destination apart.A sudden flood of invoices
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold the batch back.
