Overview

What the MyOTP.App Zapier integration does

MyOTP.App adds two-factor checks to your own applications: it sends one-time passcodes and validates them. On Zapier, it sits at the end of a Zap (the automation you build on Zapier), where it either sends a passcode by SMS to a mobile number or verifies the one a person entered.

Three results you can build with its two actions. A passcode on sign-up: Send OTP texts a code to the mobile number left in a new form response. A second check before a request goes further: Verify OTP takes the code a person typed into a second form and checks it with MyOTP.App. A passcode after any other app: Send OTP can follow any trigger from another app that carries a mobile number, not only a form.

What Zapier does not do here. MyOTP.App has no trigger, so a passcode sent, verified or expired cannot start a Zap by itself. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up an earlier passcode before acting. Through Zapier, the passcode goes out by SMS: the other channels MyOTP.App mentions are not offered as separate actions. And the free plan stops at one trigger plus one action, so sending a code and then logging it somewhere needs a paid plan.

Vocabulary

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. MyOTP.App has none, so another app starts things.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something. Here, sending or checking a passcode.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan is a count of those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked by Zapier at a fixed interval. An instant trigger is reported by the app 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 MyOTP.App account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that sends or checks a passcode.
Cost

What a MyOTP.App Zap costs

Zapier bills completed actions, nothing else. The trigger never costs a task, and Zapier looking for new data costs nothing either, however often it checks.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each
  • MyOTP.App premium?No, it works on the free plan
  • Cost of one passcode1 task when Send OTP succeeds
  • Failed actionNot counted

Each Send OTP or Verify OTP that completes is one task; an action that fails is not counted. MyOTP.App is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan: 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, two steps each. A trigger plus one MyOTP.App action fits. A filter, or a second action after the passcode, makes it a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below applies to the trigger of the other app when it is a polling one.

Connect

Connect MyOTP.App to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. You need a MyOTP.App account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Pick MyOTP.App

    Search for MyOTP.App by name in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new browser tab then opens on the MyOTP.App side for the sign-in.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to MyOTP.App in that tab, then grant Zapier access to the account. Both actions, Send OTP and Verify OTP, then reuse this one connection in every Zap.

First Zap

Your first MyOTP.App Zap: a passcode for each sign-up

GoalEach new sign-up form response gets a one-time passcode by SMS, only when the response meets the condition you set.

  1. 01

    Build: start from the form

    Create a Zap and choose your form app with its new-response event as the trigger. MyOTP.App cannot start a Zap, so the form always comes first.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent responses of the connected account, so you map the mobile number from a real response.

  3. 03

    Add a filter (paid plan)

    From the plus icon, add a Filter step 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.

  4. 04

    Add Send OTP

    Pick MyOTP.App, then Send OTP. Map the number to Mobile Number, country code first and no plus sign. It is the only required field of the action.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run the action test once and read what came back. Then click Publish to switch the Zap on. Earlier responses get no passcode.

Actions

The two MyOTP.App actions

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

1

Send OTP

Action

In Zapier“Send a One-Time Passcode by SMS to a mobile phone number”

Texts a one-time passcode to the mobile number you map, through MyOTP.App. Only one field is required: the mobile number, written the way MyOTP.App asks for it.

When to use it
a sign-up or a request needs a phone check before going further.
Watch out
the number starts with the country code, with no +, 00 or 011 in front.
2

Verify OTP

Action

In Zapier“Verify the passcode sent to the user is correct.”

Checks with MyOTP.App whether the passcode a person entered is the right one. It asks for two required fields: Message ID and the Passcode itself.

When to use it
the person types the code back into a form, and you want MyOTP.App to check it.
Watch out
Zapier describes Message ID as the mobile phone number the passcode was sent to.
When it breaks

When a MyOTP.App Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to MyOTP.App and documents no limit specific to it. The cases below come from how Zapier itself works.

  • Earlier sign-ups get nothing

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Responses already in the form get no passcode, and handling them is a separate job.

  • 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 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 response twice

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

FAQ

MyOTP.App Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the MyOTP.App Zapier integration free?
Yes. MyOTP.App is not a premium app, so both of its actions work on the free plan of Zapier. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each made of two steps: one trigger and one action. A form response followed by Send OTP fits exactly, as long as the form app is not premium itself. A filter, or a second action after the passcode, turns it into a multi-step Zap, and that needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a MyOTP.App Zap use?
One task for each Send OTP or Verify OTP that completes successfully. The trigger in the other app costs nothing, and Zapier checking for new responses costs nothing either, however often it looks. An action that fails is not counted against your plan. A Zap that sends a code and then writes a row somewhere counts each successful action on its own, so each sign-up uses two tasks instead of one.
03Does MyOTP.App work in real time with Zapier?
MyOTP.App has no trigger, so the delay depends on the app that starts the Zap. If that app offers an instant trigger, it tells Zapier itself and the plan interval does not apply. If its trigger is a polling one, Zapier checks at a fixed interval: 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. For a passcode that a person is waiting for, that interval matters, so check which kind your form app uses.
04What do you need to connect MyOTP.App to Zapier?
A MyOTP.App account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. Then, on the Apps page of Zapier, click + Add connection, search for MyOTP.App, click Add connection, sign in to MyOTP.App in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. Both actions reuse that single connection in every Zap you build afterwards, so it is a one-time setup. In each Zap, Send OTP then asks for a Mobile Number, and Verify OTP for a Message ID and a Passcode.
05How should the mobile number be written for Send OTP?
Country code first, with no prefix in front: no plus sign, no 00, no 011. Mobile Number is the only required field of Send OTP, so its format is the first thing to check. If your form stores numbers with a plus sign or with spaces, that does not match what MyOTP.App asks for. Clean the value at the source, map it, and run the action test before you publish.
06What if the MyOTP.App operation you need is not there?
Then Zapier cannot do it today. This integration has two actions, Send OTP and Verify OTP, and nothing else: no trigger, no search, and no separate action for channels other than SMS. The MyOTP.App page on zapier.com shows the current list of operations, so check it before planning a Zap around something else. Within a Zap, both actions can still follow any trigger from another app that carries a mobile number.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for MyOTP.App?
Compare on criteria rather than a ranking. Coverage: on Zapier, MyOTP.App offers two actions, Send OTP and Verify OTP, and no trigger; for Make or n8n, look at each tool's own app list. Delay: the person is waiting for the SMS, so whether the app in front of MyOTP.App has an instant or a polling trigger matters more than the tool itself. Cost model: Zapier bills each successful action as a task, and a failed one is free. Plan limits: on Zapier, a filter before Send OTP already needs a paid plan.
