My Track Path Zapier integrationAutomate My Track Path with Zapier.

The My Track Path Zapier integration gives you 0 triggers, 2 actions and 0 searches. So My Track Path never starts a Zap: another app does, and My Track Path receives the order or hands back what it holds about one. Here is what that costs and where it breaks.

Overview

What the My Track Path Zapier integration does for you

My Track Path plans delivery routes and follows the last mile. Linked to Zapier, it becomes the receiving end of an automation: a record appears somewhere else, and an order gets created in My Track Path without anyone typing it twice. You can also ask it for the details of an order it already has. If Zapier itself is new to you, start with our Zapier review.

Orders that write themselves. With Create Order, a new row, a form entry or any record in another app becomes an order in My Track Path, with the buyer's name, the address, the priority and the service type filled from that record.

Returns logged the same way. The same action carries a Return setting: 0 for a delivery, 1 for a return. Map it from the record, or set a fixed value when the source only ever holds one kind.

An order looked up on demand. Get Order takes an order number and brings back what My Track Path holds about it, so a later step in the same Zap can reuse those values. Check at test time exactly which values come back.

What Zapier does not do here. My Track Path has no trigger on Zapier: nothing that happens inside it (a new order, a delivery done) can start a Zap. There is no search step either, and no action to update or delete an order. If you need the reverse direction, Zapier is not the tool for it with this app today.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Seven terms come back on this page. Here is each one in plain words.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it. My Track Path offers none.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like creating an order.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The count on your plan is a count of those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked on a timer; an instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action, a filter or a search makes one, and it needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a My Track Path Zap really costs

My Track Path is not reserved for paid plans: it works from the free plan. What you pay for is tasks.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps of two steps
  • TriggerNever billed
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Failed actionNot counted

The trigger in the other app costs nothing, however often Zapier checks it. Each Create Order or Get Order that goes through counts one task; one that fails is not counted. Chain both in one Zap and each order costs two tasks, and the Zap becomes multi-step, so it needs a paid plan. The free plan stops at two steps: one trigger, one action. The interval grid below concerns the trigger of the app that starts your Zap, since My Track Path has no trigger of its own.

Connect

Connect My Track Path to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your My Track Path account linked once, then reused by every step that uses it.

  2. 02

    Find My Track Path

    Type My Track Path in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the results, then click Add connection. A new tab opens, this time on the My Track Path side.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to My Track Path 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: a spreadsheet row becomes an order, and the team hears about it

GoalEach new row in your spreadsheet creates an order in My Track Path, then posts a message in your team chat.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap. Since My Track Path has no trigger, the first step comes from the tool where orders are typed in, here a spreadsheet and its new-row event.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so you map the fields on a real row rather than a blank one.

  3. 03

    Add Create Order

    Add an action step, choose My Track Path and Create Order, then pick your connection. Map the order number, buyer name, address and area from the row.

  4. 04

    Set the coded fields

    Priority, Return and Type of service take numbers: 0 or 1 for the first two, 0, 1 or 2 for the third. Map a column that already holds those values, or type a fixed one.

  5. 05

    Add the message, test, publish

    Add a second action with your team chat and write the message with the order number. Two actions make it a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan. Test each step, then click Publish. For a guided start, see our Zapier training.

Actions

The 2 My Track Path actions

My Track Path gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Order

Action

In Zapier“create an order in the system on behalf of the customer”

Puts a new order into My Track Path on behalf of a customer, with who receives it, where it goes and how fast it must leave.

When to use it
orders are first written elsewhere, in a sheet or a form, and you want them to land in the route planner without retyping.
Watch out
eight fields are required, including the Seller client code and three coded choices (Priority, Return, Type of service) that only accept the numbers My Track Path expects.
2

Get Order

Action

In Zapier“consult the information of a previously added order”

Reads back an order that was added earlier, from its order number alone, so the next steps of the Zap can use its details.

When to use it
a message or a record somewhere carries an order number and you want the Zap to fetch what My Track Path knows about it.
Watch out
the order number is the only input; check at test which values the step returns before mapping them.
When it breaks

When a My Track Path Zap breaks

Zapier publishes no help article and no specific limit for My Track Path. What can go wrong comes from how Zapier works in general.

Four cases are worth knowing before you publish. If a Zap stops behaving, our Zapier troubleshooting page is the place to start.

  • Old records stay where they are

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Rows or entries that existed before are not picked up; moving that backlog into My Track Path is a separate job.
  • A Zap that feeds its own trigger

    As a general precaution: a Zap that writes into the very place its trigger watches can set itself off again and again and burn through tasks.
  • A bulk import at the source

    If the app that starts the Zap suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back.
  • The same record, once

    On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same item does not start the Zap twice.

FAQ

My Track Path Zapier integration: questions

01Is the My Track Path Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on the free plan, because My Track Path is not reserved for paid plans. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger from another app, then one My Track Path action. Adding Get Order after Create Order, or a filter in between, turns the Zap into a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The plan itself decides how many orders you can push each month, since each created order uses one task.
02How many tasks does each order use?
One per successful action. A Zap that only runs Create Order spends one task per order. A Zap that runs Create Order and then Get Order spends two per order, because every action that succeeds is counted on its own. The trigger in the other app is never billed, and checking for new data costs nothing however often it happens. An action that fails is not counted, so a rejected order does not eat into your monthly allowance.
03Does it work in real time?
It depends on the app that starts the Zap, since My Track Path has no trigger. If that trigger is instant, the other app reports the event to Zapier itself and the order follows straight away, whatever your plan. If it is a polling trigger, Zapier checks at an interval set by your plan: 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. The editor shows a lightning bolt on a Zap built on an instant trigger, which tells you which case you are in.
04What do you need to connect My Track Path?
An account on the app, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. The connection is made once from the Apps page of your Zapier account, by searching My Track Path, signing in in the tab that opens and granting access. After that, every step that uses My Track Path reuses the same connection. Have your Seller client code at hand as well, because Create Order asks for it.
05What goes in the coded fields of Create Order?
Numbers, as each field description sets them. Eight fields are required. Three of them are coded: Priority takes 0 or 1, Return takes 0 for a delivery and 1 for a return, Type of service takes 0, 1 or 2. A column holding words rather than these numbers does not match what the field describes. Map a column that already holds the numbers, or type a fixed value, then test the step on a real row.
06What if the operation you want is not offered?
Then this integration cannot do it from the editor. The My Track Path page on Zapier shows the current list of operations, and today it has two actions and nothing else: no trigger, no search, no update or delete. If you need, for instance, to react to a delivery being completed, that event is not available on Zapier for this app. Check that page before you design the Zap around a step that does not exist.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for My Track Path?
Decide on three criteria. First, coverage: Zapier offers Create Order and Get Order; before looking elsewhere, check whether the other platform has a My Track Path module at all. Second, the size of your Zap: the free plan stops at two steps, so a flow with a filter or two actions means a paid plan. Third, volume: on Zapier each created order is one task, so count how many orders a month you expect against the plan you are on.
