Overview

What the NetBase Quid Zapier integration does for you

The NetBase Quid Zapier integration connects your consumer and market intelligence platform to the tools your team works in. New posts found for a topic you follow in NetBase Quid can travel on to a chat, a table or a task list, and a Zap can also add a post to NetBase Quid from another app.

A topic feed where people already talk. New Post followed by a message step puts each post found on a topic in front of the team, without anyone opening NetBase Quid to look.

A running archive of posts. The same trigger with a spreadsheet step keeps one row per post, so you build a history you can sort and share outside the platform.

Posts added from elsewhere. Create Post takes a text from another app and adds it to NetBase Quid. Text is the only field it requires; run the test to see where the new post lands in your account.

What Zapier does not do here: there are only two operations. No search step can look up an existing post or topic, nothing edits or removes a post, and New Post only covers one topic per Zap, the one you name. It works by polling, so posts reach the Zap on the next check of your plan, not the moment they appear.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Seven 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 new post on a NetBase Quid topic.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like a chat message.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The number on your plan counts those.
Polling vs instant trigger
A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer and keeps only what is new; an instant one is reported by the app. New Post is polling.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What a NetBase Quid Zap really costs

NetBase Quid is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. Checking for new posts costs nothing, however often Zapier looks.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Zaps on the free planUnlimited, two steps each
  • Premium appNo
  • NetBase Quid trigger1 polling

Only a completed action is billed, and each one counts on its own: 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 or a second action makes the Zap multi-step and needs a paid plan. New Post is a polling trigger, so the grid below applies to it directly: it sets how often Zapier checks the topic.

Connect

Connect NetBase Quid to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

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

  2. 02

    Find NetBase Quid

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

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to NetBase Quid 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 NetBase Quid.

First Zap

Your first Zap: only the posts that matter, in your team chat

GoalWhen NetBase Quid finds a new post on your topic and it meets your filter condition, post it to your team chat.

  1. 01

    Create the Zap

    Start a new Zap, pick NetBase Quid as the app that starts it and New Post as the event, then choose your connection and type the Topic Name.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent posts on that topic, so the next steps are mapped on a real post rather than an empty sample.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Click the plus icon and add Filter. Set its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule and the value to compare with. A filter needs a paid plan.

  4. 04

    Send the message

    Add your team chat as the last step and map the post details shown at test into the message. Each message sent counts as one task.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step and read what came back. When the message looks right, click Publish. Posts found before that moment are not sent.

Triggers

The NetBase Quid trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in NetBase Quid. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

New Post

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new post is found matching your NetBase query.”

Watches one topic of your NetBase Quid account and starts the Zap for each new post found that matches your query on it. It is the only way into NetBase Quid from Zapier, so every Zap on this page begins here.

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
share the posts found on a topic with the people who act on them, in a chat, a table or a task list.
Watch out
Topic Name is required, so one Zap follows one topic; on a paid plan you can change how often it checks or run a check by hand from the editor.
Actions

The NetBase Quid action

NetBase Quid gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Post

Action

In Zapier“Creates a post in NetBase Quid”

Adds a post to NetBase Quid with the text you write or map from an earlier step. Text is the one required field.

When to use it
bring into NetBase Quid a piece of text that started life in another tool.
Watch out
run the test and check in NetBase Quid where the new post shows up before you publish.
When it breaks

When a NetBase Quid Zap breaks

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

The four cases below apply to a Zap built on New Post. For a step that stops on an error, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Older posts are not picked up

    A Zap only reacts to posts found after you publish it. Posts already on the topic stay where they are; moving them elsewhere is a separate job.
  • The same post only counts once

    Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen on a polling trigger, so the same post does not start the Zap twice.
  • 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 posts

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

FAQ

NetBase Quid Zapier integration: questions

01Is the NetBase Quid Zapier integration free?
Yes, it runs on Zapier's free plan, since NetBase Quid is not a premium app. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each limited to two steps: one trigger and one action. New Post followed by a single message step fits. The Zap built on this page does not: its filter makes it a multi-step Zap, and multi-step Zaps need a paid plan. The free plan also checks for new posts every 15 minutes.
02How many tasks does a NetBase Quid Zap use?
One per completed action. The trigger never costs a task, and neither does looking for new posts, however often Zapier checks the topic. So a Zap that finds a post and sends one chat message uses one task; if your filter stops it, the action does not run and nothing is billed for it. An action that fails is not counted either. The busier the topic, the more posts start the Zap, which is what really drives the count.
03Is the NetBase Quid trigger real time?
No. New Post is a polling trigger: Zapier goes and looks at regular intervals, and how often depends on your plan, every 15 minutes on the free one, 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team and Enterprise. Posts reach the Zap at the next check. On paid plans you can change how often it checks, and run a check by hand from the editor. The type is set by NetBase Quid itself and cannot be switched to instant.
04What do you need to connect NetBase Quid to Zapier?
A NetBase Quid account, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. The connection runs from the Apps page of Zapier: + Add connection, pick NetBase Quid, sign in in the tab that opens and grant access. Then, for New Post, you need the name of a topic in that account, because Topic Name is a required field. Without it, the trigger has nothing to check.
05Can one NetBase Quid Zap follow several topics?
New Post asks for one Topic Name per Zap, and that name sets the topic Zapier checks. To follow a second topic, the plain route is another Zap on the same trigger with the other name, then a test to confirm it. On the free plan that is fine, since the number of Zaps is unlimited; just keep in mind that every Zap that runs spends its own tasks from the same 100 a month.
06What if the NetBase Quid operation you need is not there?
Then this integration cannot do it today. The NetBase Quid page on Zapier shows the current list, which here is short: New Post and Create Post. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up an existing post or topic, and no step edits or deletes a post. If your scenario needs one of those, it falls outside what Zapier offers for NetBase Quid as it stands. With a single trigger, every Zap built on this integration starts on New Post.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for NetBase Quid?
Weigh it on criteria rather than picking a winner. Check speed first: New Post is polling, so on Zapier the plan sets how often posts are checked, from every 15 minutes on the free plan to every minute on Team and Enterprise. Step count second: one trigger and one action fit the free plan, a filter does not. Third, coverage: with only two operations on Zapier, see whether another tool offers what is missing for your use before switching.
