What the Nerchr Zapier integration actually does for you
Nerchr is a marketing and CRM platform built around reporting and lead tracking. The Zapier integration links it to the other apps you use: when a contact is created or changed in Nerchr, a Zap (the automation you build on Zapier) can react, and other apps can push contacts back into Nerchr without anyone copying them by hand.
Three results people usually want from it. A reporting sheet that fills itself: New Contact sends every fresh contact to a spreadsheet row, so the numbers you report on are never a manual export behind. A contact base without doubles: Find Contact looks a person up by email before anything is written, and its find-or-create version adds the contact only when the search comes back empty. A record that follows the other tools: Update Contact rewrites an existing contact once a search has handed it the right Contact ID.
What Zapier does not do here matters just as much. There is no delete operation in the visible list, so removing a contact stays a job for Nerchr itself. A Zap never picks up the contacts you had before you switched it on. And Find Contact looks people up by email address, so the search always starts from an email you already have.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words you will meet in the editor. Each one is used on this page exactly as defined here.
- Zap
- The automation you build: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap, such as a new contact in Nerchr. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like creating a contact.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully; your plan counts those.
- Instant vs polling trigger
- An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment the event happens. A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it everywhere else.
- Search step
- A step that looks up something already in an app, such as a contact, so the next steps can use what it found.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action, a filter or a search makes it one, and it needs a paid plan.
What a Nerchr Zap really costs
Nerchr is not a premium app on Zapier, so it works from the free plan. What you pay for is tasks, and the shape of the Zap.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan tasks100 per month
- Free plan ZapsUnlimited, two steps each
- Nerchr triggers2 instant, 0 polling
The trigger never costs a task. Each action that succeeds counts once, so a Zap with three actions uses three times what a one-action Zap uses, and an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap stops at two steps. Add Find Contact or a filter and the Zap becomes multi-step, which means a paid plan. The interval grid below is for polling triggers: both Nerchr triggers are instant, so it does not apply to them.
Connect your Nerchr account to Zapier
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Nerchr account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Pick Nerchr
Type Nerchr in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. The connection is made once and every Zap step that uses Nerchr reuses it.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
A new tab opens on Nerchr. Sign in with the account whose contacts you want to automate, then grant Zapier access to it. Back in Zapier, the connection is ready for your first Zap.
Your first Zap: new Nerchr contacts in a reporting sheet
GoalSend every new Nerchr contact that meets your condition to a spreadsheet row, so your lead report keeps itself current.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap, pick Nerchr as the app that starts it and New Contact as the event, then choose the Nerchr connection you just made.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent contacts of the connected account, so you map fields on a real contact instead of a blank one.
- 03
Add a filter
From the plus icon, add a Filter step and fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value. A filter makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add the spreadsheet row
Pick your spreadsheet tool and its new-row action, then map the contact fields from the trigger into your columns. Check at the test which fields actually come back.
- 05
Test and publish
Test each step once and read what came back, then click Publish. Only contacts created after that moment go through, the existing ones stay where they are.
Nerchr triggers
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Nerchr, and 2 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Contact
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new contact is created.”
Starts the Zap each time a contact is created in Nerchr, and hands its details to the steps that follow. It is the natural entry point for anything that should happen to a brand new lead: logging it, notifying someone, copying it to another tool.
Contact Updated
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a contact is updated.”
Reacts when an existing Nerchr contact is changed, rather than when one is born. Use it when the change itself is the signal and other tools should hear about it.
Nerchr actions
Nerchr gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Contact
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new contact.”
Adds a new contact to Nerchr from whatever an earlier step brought in, such as a form answer or a row.
Update Contact
ActionIn Zapier“Updates a contact.”
Rewrites a contact that already exists in Nerchr. It cannot guess which one: the Contact ID field is required.
The Nerchr search
1 search step looks for data that already exists in Nerchr, so a later step can use it.
A search step finds a contact that already exists so later steps can use it. In the editor it sits at the bottom of the Action event list, under SEARCH. Three settings decide what happens when the result is not a single clean match.
Find Contact
SearchFind or createIn Zapier“Search for a contact by email.”
Looks a Nerchr contact up by email address, which is the required field, and passes what it found to the next steps, Contact ID included.
The three settings every search exposes
- Successful if no search results are found?Left on its default, an empty search stops the Zap there and the steps that depend on it are skipped. Switched on, the Zap carries on empty-handed.
- Create X if it doesn't exist yet?Ticking it turns the search into a find-or-create: the setting above disappears and Zapier asks for the fields needed to create the missing contact.
- If multiple search results are found?Three ways out: keep the first match, which is the default, stop the Zap, or hand all the matches on at once.
When a Nerchr Zap breaks
Zapier publishes no help article specific to Nerchr. The cases below come from how every Zap behaves, applied to a contact base.
Each case below has its own fix. For the general method, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
Old contacts never arrive
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Contacts already in Nerchr are not picked up, and moving them is a separate import.A Zap that sets itself off
A Zap that writes into the place its own trigger watches can start itself again and again and burn through tasks. Check any Zap that writes back into Nerchr.A bulk import held back
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back.The search comes back empty
With the default setting, a Find Contact that matches no email stops the Zap, and the steps after it are skipped without writing anything.
