Mylize Zapier integrationAutomate Mylize with Zapier.
The Mylize Zapier integration gives you 1 action, 0 triggers and 0 searches. It writes played songs into Mylize from whatever app holds them, as long as that app can hand over the nine details, IDs included, that the action asks for.

What the Mylize Zapier integration actually does
Mylize is a social platform that pulls together what you and your friends listen to, watch and like. Connecting it to Zapier lets another app push a played song into your Mylize account for you. That is the whole surface: one action that writes, nothing that reads, nothing that starts a Zap from the Mylize side.
Three things you can get out of it, all through Create Song. First, a listening log kept in a spreadsheet turns into Mylize entries: every new row with a track becomes a played song in your Mylize account. Second, a history you already track elsewhere (an export, a tracker you fill by hand) stops living in two places, since each new entry lands in Mylize too. Third, songs collected by a form can reach Mylize without anyone copying them over.
Now what Zapier does not do here. There is no trigger, so nothing that happens in Mylize can start a Zap: a new like, a new friend, a new song never leaves Mylize through Zapier. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up a song that already exists before writing a new one. And there is no update or delete: what Create Song writes stays as written, and fixing it happens in Mylize. The action also asks for nine fields, all required, including three IDs (song, artist, album) that your source must actually carry.

Zapier words, in plain English
Seven terms come back on this page. Here is what each one means before you meet it in the editor.
- 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. Mylize has none, so another app plays this role.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something. Here, Create Song is the only one.
- 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 continue only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Mylize account, linked to Zapier a single time, then reused by every step of every Zap that uses Mylize.
What a Mylize Zap really costs
Zapier bills completed actions, nothing else. The trigger never costs a task, and neither does checking for new data, however often Zapier looks.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
- Mylize premium?No, it works on the free plan
- Cost of one song1 task when Create Song succeeds
- Failed actionNot counted
Each song that Create Song writes successfully is one task. An action that does not go through is not counted. Mylize is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan: 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, but two steps per Zap, one trigger and one action. A trigger from another app plus Create Song fits exactly. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns the trigger of the other app, when that trigger is a polling one.
Connect Mylize to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the connections page
In your Zapier account, go to the Apps page and click + Add connection. You need an existing Mylize account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Find Mylize and start the link
Type Mylize in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the results, then click Add connection. A new browser tab then opens on the Mylize side, ready for you to sign in.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Mylize in that tab, then grant Zapier access to the account. Once that is done, the connection is saved in your Zapier account, and every Zap that uses Mylize reuses it.
Your first Mylize Zap: spreadsheet row to played song
GoalEach new row of a listening log in your spreadsheet becomes a played song in Mylize, only when the row is complete.
- 01
Build: start from the spreadsheet
Create a Zap and pick your spreadsheet app with its new-row event as the trigger. Mylize cannot start a Zap, so the source always comes first.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent rows of the connected account, so you map fields on a real row and not on a guess.
- 03
Add a filter (paid plan)
Add a Filter step from the plus icon and set the field to look at, the rule and the value. A filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add Create Song and map
Pick Mylize, then Create Song. Map each of the nine required fields to a column: platform, played-at date, song, artist, album, their three IDs and the album art link.
- 05
Test, then publish
Run the action test once and read what came back before going further. Then Publish the Zap to switch it on. Rows added before that moment are not picked up.
The Mylize action
Mylize gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Song
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a played song.”
Writes one played song into your Mylize account, with the platform it was heard on, when it was played, the track, the artist, the album and the cover link.
When a Mylize Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Mylize, and no limit specific to the app is documented. What can go wrong comes from how Zapier itself works.
Four cases are worth knowing before you publish. If a run fails anyway, open our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
Old songs stay where they are
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Songs already in your log are not sent to Mylize, and moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that feeds itself
A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can set itself off again and again, and burn through the task count fast.A sudden huge batch
When the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.The same row twice
On a polling trigger, Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen, so the same item does not start the Zap twice.
