What the Movinghub Zapier integration actually does
The Movinghub Zapier integration sends referrals into Movinghub, the online platform partners use to offer utility connections, energy comparisons and other home services. It works in one direction: an event happens in another app, and Zapier creates a referral in your Hub's Connections or ConnectionsPLUS module.
With a single action, the outcomes depend on where your referrals start. First, a form that refers on its own: someone fills in your sign-up form, and Create Referral passes their name, email and mobile phone to Movinghub without anyone retyping them.
Second, referrals straight from your contact list: a contact added in the tool where you keep your customers can become a referral, as long as that tool carries the six fields Movinghub requires.
Third, on a paid plan, only the referrals that qualify: a filter sits between the two apps and lets through only the entries that meet the condition you set on one of their fields.
Now the limits. Movinghub has no trigger on Zapier, so nothing that happens inside Movinghub can start a Zap, and you cannot pull referral updates out to another tool. There is no search step either, so a Zap cannot check whether a person was already referred. And Create Referral only creates: nothing updates or cancels a referral.

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. Movinghub has none, so here 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 referral.
- 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.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry on only when what arrived meets a condition you set. It makes the Zap multi-step, so paid.
What a Movinghub Zap really costs
Movinghub 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 referral created1 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 referral created successfully counts as one task, and a referral 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 after the referral, makes the Zap multi-step and needs a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns only the trigger of the app that starts your Zap, and only when that trigger is a polling one.
Connect Movinghub to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Movinghub account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Find Movinghub and add it
Type Movinghub 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 Movinghub side.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Movinghub in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. Every Movinghub step in every Zap then reuses this connection, so you only do it once.
Your first Zap: only the sign-ups you choose become referrals
GoalEach form answer that meets a condition you choose becomes a referral in Movinghub.
- 01
Set the trigger
Create a Zap and pick your form tool as the app that starts it, with its new-answer event. Movinghub 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 account, so you map the next steps on a real answer.
- 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 the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add Create Referral
Pick Movinghub, then
Create Referral, then your connection. Map the six required fields from the answer, test the step once and read what came back. - 05
Publish
Click Publish to switch the Zap on. Each answer that passes the filter becomes a referral, and each referral created successfully counts as one task.
Movinghub action
Movinghub gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Referral
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new referral to the Hub's Connections or ConnectionsPLUS module.”
Sends a new referral to the Connections or ConnectionsPLUS module of your Hub, using the person's details from another app, so the home-services offer can follow without manual entry.
When a Movinghub Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article of its own to Movinghub. Since Movinghub only receives referrals, 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 contacts that existed before are never sent to Movinghub.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 answer does not start the Zap twice.
