Movepro Zapier integrationAutomate Movepro with Zapier.

The Movepro Zapier integration gives you 0 triggers, 1 action and 0 searches. That one action, Create Lead, adds a lead to Movepro whenever something happens in another tool, such as a quote request arriving through your web form.

Overview

What the Movepro Zapier integration actually does

Movepro is a CRM and operations tool built for removalists and moving companies: leads, quotes, job bookings, scheduling, invoices and payments. On Zapier it exposes a single action, Create Lead. In plain terms, the integration lets an event in another app put a new lead into Movepro, without anyone typing it in twice.

Web enquiries that land as leads. Start a Zap on your form tool's new submission, end it on Create Lead, and each quote request from your site becomes a lead in Movepro with its contact details, pickup and delivery addresses and move dates mapped across.

A spreadsheet of enquiries turned into leads. If enquiries are collected in a spreadsheet first, a new row there can start the same action, so the list and the CRM stop drifting apart.

Only the enquiries worth chasing. Put a filter between the two steps and only the requests that meet a condition you set go through. That makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.

What Zapier does not do for Movepro: there is no trigger, so nothing happening inside Movepro (a booked job, an invoice) can start a Zap. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot check whether a lead already exists before creating it. And there is no action to update a lead or a job. Movepro is always the last step of the Zap, never the first. If you are new to building Zaps, see our Zapier training.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words come back throughout this page. Here they are once, 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. Movepro has none, so the trigger always comes from another app you use.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes or sends something. Here, Create Lead writes a lead into Movepro.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Every lead created in Movepro counts as one task.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeping only what it has not seen before.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself: it calls Zapier the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for the next check.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it there otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a Movepro Zap really costs

Movepro is not a premium app on Zapier, so it works from the free plan. What you spend is tasks, counted on the action side.

  • Premium appNo, works on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • TriggerNever costs a task
  • Failed actionNot counted

The trigger of your Zap never costs a task, however often Zapier checks it. Each lead that Create Lead adds successfully counts once; a lead that fails to go through is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps of two steps each, which is exactly one trigger and Create Lead. A filter in between makes the Zap multi-step and calls for a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns the trigger of the app you start from, when it is a polling trigger; Movepro itself has no trigger.

Connect

Connect Movepro to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Movepro account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap step that writes to Movepro.

  2. 02

    Find Movepro

    Type Movepro in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. Zapier opens a new tab where Movepro asks you to sign in with your own account.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to Movepro in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. 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.

First Zap

Your first Zap: web form enquiries as Movepro leads

GoalCreate a lead in Movepro for each quote request submitted through your web form, but only for the ones that meet a condition you choose.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap and pick your form tool as the app that starts it, with its new submission event. Movepro cannot come first, since it has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent submissions of the connected account, so you map fields on a real enquiry rather than a guess.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

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

  4. 04

    Add Create Lead

    Add Movepro as the action app, choose Create Lead, select your connection and map the form answers into the lead: contact details, both addresses and the move dates.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test the action once and open Movepro to read the lead it created. When it looks right, click Publish to switch the Zap on. Older submissions stay out.

Actions

The Movepro action

Movepro gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Lead

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new lead with the customer's contact details, pickup and delivery addresses, and move dates.”

Adds a new lead to Movepro and fills it with what the previous steps brought: who the customer is and how to reach them, where the move starts and ends, and the dates it should happen.

When to use it
every time an enquiry reaches you outside Movepro, through a form, a spreadsheet or another tool.
Watch out
there is no search on Movepro, so the Zap cannot check first whether this customer is already a lead; run a test and look at the result in Movepro.
When it breaks

When a Movepro Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Movepro, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What can go wrong comes from how Zapier works in general.

Three cases worth knowing before you publish. If a Zap still misbehaves, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Old enquiries are not picked up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Enquiries that arrived earlier do not become leads; moving that backlog is a separate job.
  • 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 the task count.
  • A sudden flood of items

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

FAQ

Movepro and Zapier: common questions

01Is the Movepro Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free plan, because Movepro is not a premium app. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. A form submission that becomes a Movepro lead fits that exactly. Add a filter between them, or a second action after Create Lead, and the Zap turns multi-step, which needs a paid plan. As long as each Zap does one thing, the free plan is enough to start.
02How many tasks does a Movepro Zap use?
One per lead created successfully. The trigger in the other app never costs a task, and Zapier checking for new items costs nothing either. So if your form receives a batch of quote requests and each one becomes a lead, you spend one task per request. An action that does not go through is not counted against your plan. If you add a second action, a confirmation message for instance, each one that succeeds counts too, and the Zap needs a paid plan since it is now multi-step.
03Does a Movepro Zap run in real time?
It depends on the app you start from, because Movepro has no trigger of its own. If that app's trigger is instant, it reports the event to Zapier itself and Create Lead runs straight away, whatever your plan. If it is a polling trigger, Zapier checks it on a timer: every 15 minutes on Free, every 2 on Professional, every minute on Team and Enterprise. The editor tells you which kind you picked; an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. Check that before promising anyone a speed.
04What do you need to connect Movepro to Zapier?
An account on Movepro, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. Then open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection, search for Movepro, click Add connection, sign in to Movepro in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. The connection is made once and reused by every Zap that writes into Movepro. You also need an account in whichever app will start the Zap.
05Can a Zap start when something happens in Movepro?
No. Movepro offers no trigger on Zapier, so a booked job, a new quote or an invoice inside Movepro cannot start a Zap. The integration works in one direction: another app starts the Zap, and Movepro receives a new lead at the end. If you were hoping to push Movepro data out to a spreadsheet or a messaging tool, this integration does not do it. Plan your Zaps with Movepro as the destination, and keep anything that starts inside Movepro outside Zapier.
06What if the Movepro operation you need is not available?
Then this integration cannot do it, and no setting in the editor will add it. On Zapier, Movepro has one action, Create Lead, with no trigger and no search. The Movepro app page on Zapier shows the current list, so check it before you design a Zap around updating a lead or booking a job. If your need is a new lead coming from somewhere else, you are covered. Anything beyond that has to be done in Movepro itself.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Movepro?
Pick on criteria rather than a ranking. Start with availability: confirm that Make or n8n offer Movepro at all, and which operations, since Zapier gives you Create Lead and nothing else. Then billing: Zapier counts one task per lead created, and its free plan covers 100 a month with two-step Zaps. Then the source of your leads: its trigger decides how fast a lead arrives, instant or polled at your plan's interval. Finally, whether you need a filter or extra steps, which on Zapier means a paid plan.
