What the Network Leads Zapier integration does for you
Network Leads is a cloud CRM for moving companies: leads, sales, marketing, operations and billing in one place. The Zapier integration links it to the rest of your tools through Zaps (an automation on Zapier: one trigger that starts it, then one or more actions that run each time). Leads can leave Network Leads, and leads can come in.
Three results come back again and again. A lead log outside the CRM: New Lead hands every fresh lead to another tool, a spreadsheet for example, so the people who never open Network Leads still see the pipeline. A hand-picked feed: Automation Triggered starts a Zap only when an automation you built in Network Leads, with Zapier as its action, actually runs, so the CRM decides what leaves it. Leads that arrive by themselves: Post Lead and Post Lead (Moving) create the lead in your account from a form answer or a row that lives somewhere else.
The detail worth knowing before you pick a trigger: of the 2 triggers, Automation Triggered is the only instant one. It reacts right away, even on the free plan. New Lead waits for the check interval of your plan, which is 15 minutes on the free one. When speed matters, Automation Triggered is the trigger to look at first.
What Zapier does not do here matters just as much. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up an existing lead before acting. There is no action to update or delete a lead either: the integration reads new leads and posts new ones, nothing more.

Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it, here a new lead or an automation run.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like posting a lead.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The number on your plan is a count of those.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer. It asks the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only what it has not seen.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself: it calls Zapier the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for the next check.
- 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.
What a Network Leads Zap really costs
Network Leads is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. What you pay for is tasks, never triggers.
- TriggerNever costs a task
- Successful action1 task each
- Failed actionNot counted
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited two-step Zaps
- Premium appNo, free plan is enough
Watching for leads is free, however often Zapier checks. Each action that goes through counts as one task, and an action that fails is not counted. A Zap with three actions uses three times what a one-action Zap uses. The free plan stops at two steps: add a filter or a second action and the Zap needs a paid plan. The interval grid below only concerns New Lead; it does not apply to Automation Triggered, which is instant.
Connect your Network Leads account in 3 steps
- 01
Add the connection from Apps
In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. Type Network Leads in the dialog, pick it in the results, then confirm with Add connection.
- 02
Sign in to Network Leads
A tab opens on Network Leads: sign in there. You need an account on the app, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.
- 03
Grant access, then reuse it
Grant Zapier access to the account. That connection (your Network Leads account linked once) is then reused by every step that uses the app, in this Zap and in the ones you build later.
Your first Zap: new leads into a spreadsheet, filtered
GoalSend every new Network Leads lead that matches your rule to a spreadsheet row.
- 01
Build: pick Network Leads and New Lead
Create a Zap, choose Network Leads as the app that starts it and New Lead as the event, then select the connection you added earlier.
- 02
Test the trigger on real leads
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent leads of the account, so you pick a real one and map fields from actual data.
- 03
Add the filter (paid plan)
Click the plus icon, choose Filter, then fill the three boxes: the field to look at, the rule, the value. Pick a text rule for text and a number rule for numbers. This step makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add the spreadsheet action
Add your spreadsheet as the next step, choose the action that adds a row, and map each column to a field of the lead you picked at test.
- 05
Test, then publish
Run each step once and read what came back. When the row looks right, publish the Zap to switch it on. From then on, each new lead that passes the filter costs one task.
The 2 Network Leads triggers
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Network Leads, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
Automation Triggered
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new automation with the action 'Zapier' in Network Leads is triggered.”
Inside Network Leads you can build an automation whose action is Zapier. Each time that automation runs, this trigger starts your Zap, so the rules you already wrote in the CRM decide what goes out.
New Lead
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new lead is received.”
Every lead received in your Network Leads account becomes a new start for the Zap. It is the plain entry point: nothing to build in the CRM, the lead itself is the event.
The 2 Network Leads actions
Network Leads gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Post Lead
ActionIn Zapier“Post a lead to your account”
Creates a lead in your Network Leads account from what an earlier step brought in, a form answer or a spreadsheet row for instance. You map that data onto the lead fields.
Post Lead (Moving)
ActionIn Zapier“Post a lead to your account (for moving companies)”
The variant meant for moving companies. It posts the lead to your account, and its required Unique Key is the one of a lead source set up in Network Leads.
When a Network Leads Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Network Leads, so the cases below are Zapier's own limits. They apply here as on any app.
Read them before you publish. If a run still behaves in a way you did not expect, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
No catch-up on old leads
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Leads already sitting in Network Leads are not picked up; moving that backlog is a separate job.A Zap that sets itself off
As a general precaution: a Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can start itself again and again, and burn through your task count fast.Flood protection on big batches
After a bulk import or a migration, a trigger that suddenly returns a huge batch of items can be held back by Zapier's flood protection.The same lead never runs twice
On New Lead, Zapier keeps track of the leads it has already seen, so the same lead does not start the Zap a second time.
