Overview

What the MyCSP Zapier integration does for you

The MyCSP Zapier integration connects MyCSP to Zapier. MyCSP is a SaaS commerce platform where businesses and cloud service providers buy and resell Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure Stack from Microsoft. It offers five triggers on invoices, subscriptions and tenants. When Zapier finds a new item, it passes it to another app. It only reads from MyCSP.

Three results you can build on those triggers. An invoice register in a sheet: New Invoice adds a row per invoice to a spreadsheet, and Paid Invoices can mark the payments in a second one, so you follow both without exporting anything. A heads-up on new subscriptions: New Subscription posts a message in your team chat, so the team knows there is something to look at. A task for each new tenant: New Tenant creates a task in your task manager, ready to be assigned.

What Zapier does not do for MyCSP. There is no action, so a Zap cannot create an invoice, change a subscription or set up a tenant. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up an existing invoice. All five triggers are polling triggers: Zapier checks on a timer, and nothing reaches your Zap between two checks. Only items created or changed after the Zap is switched on count. To judge the tool itself, see our Zapier review.

Vocabulary

Zapier words, in plain English

Seven words come back on this page. Here is each one, once.

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 that starts the Zap, here an invoice, subscription or tenant event in MyCSP. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, in another app here.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's number is a count of those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer: it asks the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only the ones it has not seen.
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 one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a MyCSP Zap really costs

MyCSP is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. You pay for completed actions, never for the trigger or the checks.

  • Triggers and checksFree, never counted
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Premium appNo

None of the five triggers costs a task, and the checks are free too, however often Zapier runs them. Each action that succeeds counts as one task; a failed action is not counted. A two-action Zap therefore uses twice what a one-action Zap uses. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps of two steps: one trigger, one action. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Your plan also decides how often Zapier checks MyCSP, as the grid shows.

Connect

Connect MyCSP to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. A connection is your MyCSP account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that needs it.

  2. 02

    Pick MyCSP

    Type MyCSP in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the MyCSP sign-in. You need an account on the app before you can carry on.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to MyCSP in that tab and grant Zapier access to the account. You also need read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

First Zap

Your first Zap: log the invoices you care about

GoalEach new MyCSP invoice that meets your condition becomes a row in your spreadsheet.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap and set the trigger

    Start a new Zap, pick MyCSP as the app and New Invoice as the event, then choose your MyCSP connection from the list below it.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent invoices of the account, so you build the next steps on a real one. Check at test time what each one holds.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon, add Filter, and fill the three boxes: the field, the rule, the value. A filter needs a paid plan, and a number rule only works on numbers.

  4. 04

    Add the spreadsheet step

    Add your spreadsheet app as the action, choose the step that adds a row, then map the invoice values from the test into its columns.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step once and read what came back before going further. When it all looks right, click Publish to switch the Zap on.

Triggers

The five MyCSP triggers

5 events start a Zap when something happens in MyCSP. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

Paid Invoices

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an invoice is paid.”

Picks up invoices once they are paid in MyCSP and starts your Zap with each one it finds.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one.
When to use it
to close the loop on billing, by noting the payment in your invoice sheet or telling the team in chat.
Watch out
Zapier remembers what it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same paid invoice does not start the Zap twice.
2

Updated Invoices

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an invoice is updates.”

Reports invoices that change in MyCSP, one Zap run for each update Zapier spots.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one.
When to use it
when a copy of your invoices lives in another tool and should follow the changes made in MyCSP.
Watch out
every update starts the Zap; to react only to some of them, add a filter, which needs a paid plan. Check at test time which values come through.
3

New Invoice

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new invoice is created.”

Catches each invoice created in MyCSP and hands it to the next steps of your Zap.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one.
When to use it
to build an invoice register in a spreadsheet, or to post the new invoice's details in your team chat.
Watch out
when you test it, Zapier brings back the three most recent invoices of the account; check what each one holds before you map anything.
4

New Subscription

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new subscription is created.”

Spots a subscription created in MyCSP and starts the Zap with it.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one.
When to use it
to warn the team in chat, or to open a follow-up task, each time a new subscription is set up.
Watch out
each action that follows costs one task per subscription, and the 100 tasks of the free plan are shared by all your Zaps.
5

New Tenant

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new tenant is created.”

Flags each tenant created in MyCSP, so the Zap can tell someone or record it elsewhere.

How it fires
Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan: every 15 minutes on the free one.
When to use it
when a new tenant should start work somewhere else, such as a task in your task manager.
Watch out
after a bulk import or a migration, a huge batch of tenants can come back at once, and Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
When it breaks

When a MyCSP Zap breaks

Zapier links no help article to MyCSP, so these cases are the general Zapier limits that apply to its five polling triggers.

Four situations to keep in mind before and after you publish. If one of them shows up, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Older invoices never come through

    The Zap only reacts to items created or changed after it is switched on. Nothing older is picked up, and moving that history is a separate job.
  • A big batch is held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
  • The item shows up later than expected

    These are polling triggers: Zapier checks every 15 minutes on the free plan, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. Between two checks, nothing moves.
  • The filter never lets anything through

    Filter rules are typed: a text rule only works on text, a number rule only on numbers. Picking the wrong type is why a filter never passes.

FAQ

MyCSP and Zapier: the questions people ask

01Is the MyCSP Zapier integration free?
Yes. MyCSP is not a premium app, so its five triggers run on the free Zapier plan. That plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. New Invoice followed by one row in a spreadsheet fits inside that. A filter or a second action turns the Zap into a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The free plan checks MyCSP every 15 minutes.
02How many tasks does a MyCSP Zap use?
One per successful action, for each item the trigger finds. The five MyCSP triggers never cost a task, and neither do the checks behind them. If your Zap adds a row for each new invoice, every invoice that gets its row costs one task. Adding a chat message after the row makes it two tasks per invoice, since each successful action counts on its own. A failed action is not counted. A few apps take more than one task per action, so check the one you plug in.
03Do MyCSP triggers fire in real time?
No. All five are polling triggers: Zapier asks MyCSP for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only what it has not seen yet. That interval is 15 minutes on the free plan, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. On the paid plans you can change how often the check runs, and you can run one by hand from the editor. The type comes from the app itself and cannot be switched to instant from the editor.
04What does it take to connect MyCSP to Zapier?
An account on MyCSP, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. The connection starts from the Apps page of your Zapier account, with + Add connection. Pick MyCSP, sign in in the tab that opens, then grant Zapier access to the account. Once it exists, every Zap built on one of the five triggers reuses that same connection, so you set it up once.
05What happens when many MyCSP invoices arrive at once?
They can be held back. When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can stop it from running through your Zap. Polling adds to this: Zapier only picks up what is new at each check, every 15 minutes on the free plan. And on a polling trigger, Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so the same invoice does not start the Zap twice. Each invoice that does go through costs one task per successful action, which counts quickly against the 100 tasks of the free plan.
06What if the MyCSP operation you need is not there?
Then Zapier cannot run it for you today. The MyCSP page on Zapier shows the current list of operations: right now that is five triggers, with no action and no search. That rules out creating an invoice, changing a subscription or looking anything up in MyCSP from a Zap. Check that page before you plan around another event. If the missing step belongs to the app on the receiving side, open that app's Zapier page instead.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for MyCSP?
Decide on criteria rather than on a ranking. Start with the catalogue: does the tool list MyCSP, and with which events? On Zapier it does, with five polling triggers. Then the delay you can live with: with polling it depends on the plan, from 15 minutes on the free one down to 1 on Team. Then the number of steps, since a filter or a second action means a paid Zapier plan. And since MyCSP has no action on Zapier, also check which tool can write where your invoice data should end up.
