Movermate Zapier integrationAutomate Movermate with Zapier.
The Movermate Zapier integration gives you 2 actions, and no trigger or search. Another app has to start each Zap, Movermate then receives a removal lead or a removal job. It works from the free plan; here is the cost, the setup and the traps.

What the Movermate Zapier integration actually does
The Movermate Zapier integration lets your other tools write into Movermate, the CRM built for moving companies. It works one way only: something happens in another app, and Zapier creates a removal lead or a removal job in Movermate for you. Movermate itself never starts a Zap.
Two outcomes come straight out of the two actions. First, enquiries that land in your CRM on their own: a visitor fills in the quote form on your website, and Create Removal Lead files the enquiry in Movermate with the first name the action needs. No copying from an inbox, no typos in the name.
Second, jobs booked without double entry: when a move is confirmed in another tool, Create Removal Jobs adds the job to Movermate with its date. A third use mixes both on a paid plan, one Zap creating the lead and then the job.
Now what it does not do. There is no trigger, so nothing that happens in Movermate (a new lead, a new job) can set off a Zap. There is no search step either, so a Zap cannot check whether a lead already exists before creating another. And neither action updates or deletes: both only create.
If that one-way setup leaves you weighing other tools, see our Make vs Zapier page before you decide.
The Zapier words you need, in one minute
Six terms come back all over this page. Here they are in plain English, once.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts a Zap. Movermate has none, so on this page the trigger always comes from another app you use.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, here a lead or a job in Movermate.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What a Movermate Zap really costs
Movermate is not a premium app, so it works on Zapier's free plan. You pay in tasks, and only actions produce them.
- Trigger (other app)0 task
- Each successful Movermate action1 task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Premium appNo, works on the free plan
The trigger from your other app never costs a task. Each Movermate action that succeeds counts once, and an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each capped at two steps: one trigger and one action. Creating a lead and then a job in the same Zap, or adding a filter, needs a paid plan. The interval grid below applies only to the trigger of the app that starts your Zap, and only if that trigger is a polling one.
Connect Movermate to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Movermate account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Find Movermate and add it
Type Movermate in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the results, then click Add connection. A new tab opens so you can finish the link on the Movermate side.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Movermate in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. Every Movermate step in every Zap then reuses this connection, so you only do it once.
Your first Zap: only real quote requests reach Movermate
GoalEach answer on your website form that meets a condition you choose becomes a removal lead in Movermate.
- 01
Set the trigger
Create a Zap and pick your form tool as the app that starts it, with its new-answer event. Movermate has no trigger, so the Zap always opens on another app.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent answers of the connected form account, so you map the next steps on a real one.
- 03
Add the filter
Click the plus icon, add Filter, then set the field to look at, the rule and the value to compare with. A filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add Create Removal Lead
Pick Movermate, then
Create Removal Lead, then your connection. Map the first name from the form answer, test the step once and read what Movermate sent back. - 05
Publish
Click Publish to switch the Zap on. Each answer that passes the filter then becomes a lead, and each lead created successfully counts as one task.
Movermate actions
Movermate gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Removal Jobs
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a Removal Jobs in Movermate”
Adds a removal job to Movermate, which is the step to use once a move is confirmed rather than just requested.
Create Removal Lead
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a Removal Lead in Movermate”
Files a new removal lead in Movermate from whatever another app hands over, so an enquiry never waits in an inbox for someone to retype it.
When a Movermate Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article of its own to Movermate. Since Movermate only receives data, the traps below are the general ones of any Zap.
Read these four cases before you publish. If something still looks off afterwards, our Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.
Nothing from before the Zap
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Form answers or bookings that existed before are never sent to Movermate.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 your task count fast.A sudden big batch
If the starting app suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back.The same item twice
Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same form answer does not start the Zap twice.
