Overview

What the net2rent Zapier integration does for you

The net2rent Zapier integration links your vacation rental management software to the rest of your tools. A booking that is confirmed, cancelled or checked in online, a budget, a contact or a payment starts an automation, and Zapier carries the details on. In the other direction, a Zap can create contacts, tasks and payments in net2rent, or confirm and cancel bookings.

A to-do for every confirmed stay. Booking Confirmed followed by Create Task puts a task in net2rent each time a booking is confirmed, so the preparation of the stay is never left to memory.

A team that hears about online check-ins. Booking CheckinOnline tells Zapier when a guest has completed online check-in, and the next step can post it wherever your team looks.

Payments logged outside net2rent. Payment Created/Updated sends each new or changed payment to the table where you follow cash in.

What Zapier does not do here: none of the six triggers fires on the creation of a booking: they cover bookings that are confirmed, cancelled or checked in online. The three searches look up a booking or a budget by its ID and a contact, and a Zap that uses one becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. A Zap does not go back over bookings made before you publish it. If you are comparing tools for the same job, open our Make vs Zapier or n8n vs Zapier comparison.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Eight terms come back on this page. Here they are, once, 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, here a booking, budget, contact or payment event.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, such as a new task in net2rent.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The number on your plan counts those.
Instant vs polling trigger
An instant trigger is reported by the app as it happens; a polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. All net2rent triggers are instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Search step
A step that looks up something that already exists in an app, such as a net2rent contact, so later 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 one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a net2rent Zap really costs

net2rent is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. The trigger never costs a task: only a completed action is billed.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Zaps on the free planUnlimited, two steps each
  • Premium appNo
  • net2rent triggers6 instant, 0 polling

Every action that succeeds counts on its own, so a Zap with three actions uses three times what a one-action Zap does. An action that fails is not counted. The free plan stops at two steps, one trigger and one action. A filter, a second action or any of the three searches makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below is Zapier's for polling triggers; it does not apply to net2rent, whose six triggers are all instant.

Connect

Connect net2rent to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. You need a net2rent account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  2. 02

    Find net2rent

    Type net2rent in the search box of the dialog, pick it from the results and click Add connection. A new browser tab opens on the net2rent sign-in screen.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to net2rent in that tab, then grant Zapier access to the account. The connection is saved once and reused by every step of your Zaps that calls net2rent.

First Zap

Your first Zap: a task for each confirmed booking, and a heads-up

GoalWhen a booking is confirmed in net2rent, create a preparation task in net2rent and post a message to your team chat.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap, pick net2rent as the app that starts it and Booking Confirmed as the event, then choose the connection you made earlier.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so you map the next steps on a real confirmed booking.

  3. 03

    Add the task

    Add the action Create Task. Summary is the one required field: write a short label and map in what you need from the booking, after checking at test which details it carries.

  4. 04

    Post to the team

    Add your team chat as the third step and map the task summary into the message. With three steps this is a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step once and read what came back. When the task and the message look right, click Publish to switch the Zap on for good.

Triggers

The 6 net2rent triggers

6 events start a Zap when something happens in net2rent, and 6 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Booking Cancelled

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a booking is cancelled.”

Starts your Zap each time a booking is cancelled in net2rent, so the people who prepare the stay hear about it without checking the calendar.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
create a task to undo what was planned for the stay, or note the cancellation in a shared table.
Watch out
only cancellations made after the Zap is published start it; earlier ones are not picked up.
2

Booking CheckinOnline

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a guest do checkin online.”

Reacts when a guest completes online check-in for a booking. It is the clearest sign that an arrival is getting close and that the guest has done their part.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
turn each online check-in into a net2rent task for whoever hands over the keys.
Watch out
run the trigger test to see which booking details arrive with the check-in before you map them.
3

Booking Confirmed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a booking is confirmed.”

Goes off when a booking moves to confirmed. This is the moment a stay becomes real for the team, which makes it the natural start for preparation work.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
create a preparation task and warn the team, as in the first Zap above.
Watch out
only confirmations made after you publish the Zap start it; bookings already confirmed are not picked up.
4

Budget Created/Updated

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a budget is created or updated.”

Fires both when a budget is created and when an existing one changes, so a revised quote is not missed.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
copy each budget to a follow-up table so every quote has a line someone can act on.
Watch out
since updates count too, the same budget can start the Zap several times; a filter (paid plan) keeps only the changes you care about.
5

Contact Created/Updated

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a contact is created or updated.”

Runs when a contact is added to net2rent and again when one is edited. Your other tools can then hold the same version of each contact.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
keep a mailing list or an address book in step with the contacts kept in net2rent.
Watch out
an edit starts the Zap as well as a creation; check at test what an edited contact sends and what your next step does with it.
6

Payment Created/Updated

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a payment is created or updated.”

Catches every payment recorded on a booking, and every change made to one afterwards. Money coming in becomes something other tools can follow.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan
When to use it
add a line per payment to the table your accounting reads.
Watch out
a corrected payment starts the Zap again, so a new line may appear for a change; check at test what an update sends.
Actions

The 6 net2rent actions

net2rent gives you 6 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Cancel Booking

Action

In Zapier“Cancel a Booking in net2rent”

Cancels a booking in net2rent from its Id, which is required.

When to use it
close a booking when the cancellation was decided in another tool.
Watch out
the booking ID must come from a step that identifies the booking, and a filter (paid plan) helps when only some cases qualify.
2

Confirm Booking

Action

In Zapier“Confirm a booking in net2rent”

Moves a booking to confirmed from another app, using its Booking Id, the one required field.

When to use it
confirm a stay once the step that validates it has happened elsewhere.
Watch out
the booking ID must come from the trigger or from Find Booking; never confirm without a step that identifies the booking.
3

Create Contact

Action

In Zapier“Creates a Contact in net2rent”

Adds a contact to net2rent from any other app. Name is the only required field.

When to use it
bring in people who reached you through a form or another tool.
Watch out
when the person may already exist, Find Contact with its create box ticked looks first and only creates when nothing is found.
4

Create Interaction

Action

In Zapier“Creates a Interaction in net2rent”

Records an interaction on a contact. Type, Text and Contact id are all required.

When to use it
keep a trace in net2rent of an exchange that happened in another tool.
Watch out
the contact ID must come from an earlier step, for example a Find Contact search, which makes the Zap multi-step.
5

Create Payment

Action

In Zapier“Creates a payment of a booking”

Records a payment on a booking, from a booking ID and an amount, both required.

When to use it
log in net2rent a payment that was taken in another tool.
Watch out
check at test that the amount arrives in the format net2rent accepts before you publish.
6

Create Task

Action

In Zapier“Creates a Task in net2rent”

Puts a task in net2rent with the summary you write or map; Summary is required.

When to use it
turn a confirmed booking or an online check-in into something to do for the team.
Watch out
keep the summary specific enough to be read on its own in the task list.
Searches

The 3 net2rent searches

3 search steps look for data that already exists in net2rent, so a later step can use it.

A search step looks up something that already exists in net2rent and hands it to the steps that follow. In the editor, searches sit at the bottom of the Action event list under SEARCH. Any search makes the Zap multi-step. Three settings decide what happens when the result is not clean.

1

Find Booking

Search

In Zapier“Finds a Booking in net2rent”

Looks up a booking from its Id, the required field, and passes its details to the next steps.

When to use it
fetch a booking before Confirm Booking or Create Payment when the trigger only gave you its ID.
Watch out
whether it wants the exact ID is up to net2rent; check at test.
2

Find Budget

Search

In Zapier“Finds a Budget in net2rent”

Retrieves a budget from its Id, which is required, so a later step can use what the budget holds.

When to use it
pull the full budget into a Zap that started elsewhere with only its reference.
Watch out
with no budget behind the ID, the Zap stops there unless you switch on the first setting above.
3

Find Contact

SearchFind or create

In Zapier“Finds a Contact in net2rent”

Finds a net2rent contact so a later step can attach something to it. The editor also lists Find or Create Contact: it is this same search with the create box ticked, not another operation.

When to use it
before Create Interaction, to get the contact ID the action requires.
Watch out
with the create box ticked, fill the fields the new contact needs.

The three settings every search exposes

  1. Successful if no search results are found?
    Left on its default, a search that finds nothing stops the Zap and skips the steps that relied on it. Switched on, the Zap carries on empty-handed.
  2. Create X if it doesn't exist yet?
    Ticking it turns the search into a find-or-create: the setting above disappears and the step asks for the fields needed to create the missing item.
  3. If multiple search results are found?
    Three ways out when several items match: keep the first one (the default), stop the Zap, or hand all of them on at once.
When it breaks

When a net2rent Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article of its own to net2rent. What goes wrong comes from Zapier's general rules.

The three cases below apply to any Zap built on these triggers and actions. For a step that stops on an error, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Earlier bookings are not picked up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Bookings, budgets and payments already in net2rent stay where they are; moving 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 your tasks. Check where each step writes.

  • A sudden flood of events

    When a trigger suddenly sends a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold those runs back.

FAQ

net2rent Zapier integration: questions

01Is the net2rent Zapier integration free?
Partly. net2rent is not a premium app, so it runs on Zapier's free plan, which gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps of two steps each: one trigger, one action. Booking CheckinOnline followed by Create Task fits. Not every operation is usable that way, though. A search step such as Find Contact turns the Zap into a multi-step Zap, and so does a filter or a second action. Those need a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a net2rent Zap use?
One per action that completes. The trigger is free, so a confirmed booking that starts your Zap costs nothing by itself; the task created in net2rent counts as one. In the first Zap on this page, the task and the chat message make two per run. An action that fails is not counted. Keep an eye on the Created/Updated triggers: each update starts a new run, and each run spends tasks.
03Are net2rent triggers real time?
Yes, all six are instant. net2rent tells Zapier the moment a booking is confirmed, cancelled or checked in online, or a budget, contact or payment is created or updated, and the Zap starts right away whatever your plan. The polling interval of the plans does not apply. A Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt in the editor. The type is set by net2rent and cannot be changed from Zapier.
04What do you need to connect net2rent to Zapier?
A net2rent account, 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 Zapier: + Add connection, pick net2rent, sign in in the tab that opens, then grant access. After that, think about IDs: Confirm Booking, Cancel Booking and Create Payment require a booking ID, and Create Interaction a contact ID, so each needs a step that supplies one.
05Why does a net2rent Zap run again when a contact is only edited?
Because Contact Created/Updated, like the budget and payment triggers, fires on updates as well as on creation. Editing a contact in net2rent starts the Zap a second time for the same contact. So one contact can run the Zap several times. Before you publish, check at test what an edited contact sends, and decide what your next step should do when the same person comes back. A filter (paid plan) can hold some runs back, using a field you have seen in the test sample.
06What if the net2rent operation you need is not there?
Then this integration cannot do it today. The net2rent page on Zapier shows the current list of operations. Two gaps show up quickly: no trigger fires when a booking is created, and no action to edit an existing booking beyond confirming or cancelling it. If your process depends on one of those, the Zap cannot cover that part; a search can still fetch a booking, a budget or a contact for the steps that remain.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for net2rent?
Judge it on criteria, not on a winner. Step count first: a two-step Zap fits Zapier's free plan, while a search, a filter or a second action needs a paid one, and any net2rent Zap that uses one of the three searches is in that case. Trigger type second: all six triggers are instant on Zapier, so plan intervals play no role. Third, check the 15 operations against your process; another tool only helps if it covers what is missing.
