What the Movers Dispatch Board Zapier integration actually does
Movers Dispatch Board puts moving companies, brokers and carriers in touch so they can interline loads and broker them. On Zapier it offers three actions and nothing else. In plain terms, the integration lets an event in another app publish a post on the board, without anyone filling in the post form by hand.
Delivery posts straight from your load sheet. When your loads are tracked in a spreadsheet, a new row can start a Zap that ends on Create Interline Delivery Post, with addresses, date ranges, volume and weight mapped from the columns.
Pickup posts from the same source. Swap the action for Create Interline Pickup Post and the same kind of row becomes a pickup post instead.
Broker loads with their charges. Create Broker Load Post asks for the total estimated charges and the broker commission on top of the load details, so it suits a source that already holds those figures.
What Zapier does not do for Movers Dispatch Board: there is no trigger, so a new post or any other event on the board cannot start a Zap. There is no search, so a Zap cannot check whether a load is already posted. And there is no action to edit or remove a post. The board is always the last step.

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. Movers Dispatch Board has none, so it always comes from another app.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes or sends something. Here, each action publishes a post on the board.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Each post created on the board 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.
What a Movers Dispatch Board Zap really costs
Movers Dispatch Board is not a premium app on Zapier, so it works from the free plan. What you spend is tasks, on the action side only.
- 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 post created successfully counts once; a post that fails is not counted. Post the same load as a delivery and as a broker load in one Zap and you use two tasks. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited two-step Zaps; a filter or a second action calls for a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns the trigger of the app you start from, when it is a polling trigger; the board has no trigger.
Connect Movers Dispatch Board to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Movers Dispatch Board account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap step that posts to the board.
- 02
Find the app
Type Movers Dispatch Board in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. Zapier opens a new tab where the board asks you to sign in with your own account.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in 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.
Your first Zap: delivery posts from your load sheet
GoalPublish an interline delivery post on Movers Dispatch Board for each new row of your load spreadsheet, only for rows that meet a condition you choose.
- 01
Create the Zap and pick the trigger
Start a new Zap and choose your spreadsheet as the app that starts it, with its new row event. The board cannot come first, since it has no trigger.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent rows of the connected account, so you map the post on a real load rather than a made-up one.
- 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.
- 04
Add the delivery post
Add Movers Dispatch Board as the action app, choose
Create Interline Delivery Postand your connection, then map a column to each required field, from Origin Address to Collecting Carrier. - 05
Test, then publish
Test the action once and look at the post on the board. When it reads right, click Publish to switch the Zap on. Rows added before that stay out.
The three Movers Dispatch Board actions
Movers Dispatch Board gives you 3 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Interline Delivery Post
ActionIn Zapier“Creates an Interline Delivery Post in Mover Dispatch Board”

Create Interline Pickup Post
ActionIn Zapier“Creates an Interline Pickup Post in Mover Dispatch Board”
Puts an interline pickup on the board from the same set of details: where the load starts and ends, its two date ranges, its cubic feet, weight and item count.

When a Movers Dispatch Board Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Movers Dispatch Board, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What can go wrong comes from the required fields and from how Zapier works in general.
Four cases worth knowing before you publish. If a Zap still misbehaves, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
A required field with nothing mapped
Every field of the three actions is required. If the source app does not hold one of them, the post cannot be filled in; check at the test that each one is mapped.Old loads are not picked up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Loads already in your sheet before you publish are not posted; 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.
