Overview

What the Nicereply Zapier integration actually does

It is a one-way link. Nicereply runs customer satisfaction surveys (CSAT, NPS and CES 2.0), and Zapier, an automation tool, listens for one event there: a new response. Each time a customer answers, a Zap (the automation you build) can hand that response to another app you use, with nobody copying it over by hand.

A running log of answers. Every response that New Response picks up becomes a row in a spreadsheet, so the whole team reads one list instead of several inboxes.

A heads-up in your team chat. The same trigger can post a message in the channel where people already talk, so a fresh answer does not sit unread in Nicereply.

A follow-up task. Pointed at your task tool, each response turns into a to-do that someone can pick up and close.

What Zapier does not do here. Nicereply offers no action and no search on Zapier. A Zap cannot create a survey, edit a response or look anything up inside Nicereply; it only listens. Whatever the response should produce has to land in another app. And there is only one event to listen for: a Zap reacts when a response is submitted, not when a survey is created or edited. If one response should feed two apps, that is a second action, and the Zap becomes multi-step.

Vocabulary

Zapier words in one minute

Eight words carry the rest of this page. Here they are in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build in Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts a Zap. Here it is a new Nicereply response; once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan's count is a count of those.
Polling vs instant
Polling: Zapier checks the app on a timer. Instant: the app calls Zapier the moment the event happens. Nicereply's trigger is instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
Connection
Your Nicereply account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that uses Nicereply.
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 Nicereply Zap costs in tasks

Good news first: Nicereply is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. Its trigger never costs a task, because Zapier bills only actions that succeed.

  • Trigger cost0 tasks
  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Zap size on Free2 steps
  • Premium appNo

The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each capped at two steps: one trigger, one action. Add a second action or a filter and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Every action that succeeds counts on its own; one that fails is not counted. A few apps and actions take more than one task. The interval grid below is for polling triggers: it does not apply to Nicereply's trigger, which is instant.

Connect

Connect Nicereply to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    Sign in to Zapier and open the Apps page of your account. Click + Add connection, type Nicereply in the search box of the dialog, and pick it from the results.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Nicereply

    Click Add connection. A new tab opens on Nicereply: sign in there with your Nicereply account, then come back to the Zapier tab. You only sign in once: Zapier then keeps the account linked for your Zaps.

  3. 03

    Grant Zapier access

    Grant Zapier access to the account. What you need beforehand: an account on the app, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. The connection is then reused by every Nicereply step.

First Zap

Your first Zap: filtered responses into a sheet

GoalCopy the Nicereply responses that pass your condition into a spreadsheet, one row per response.

  1. 01

    Start a new Zap

    In Zapier, start a new Zap. This is the build phase: you pick the app and event that start it, then the apps that follow, and map the fields between steps.

  2. 02

    Set New Response as the trigger

    Pick Nicereply as the app and New Response as the event, then choose your connection. A lightning bolt in the editor marks a Zap built on an instant trigger.

  3. 03

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent responses of the connected account, so you map fields from a real answer rather than a guess.

  4. 04

    Add the filter

    Add a Filter step from the plus icon, then fill its three boxes: the field to look at, the rule and the value. A filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Add the spreadsheet row

    Add the action of your spreadsheet app and map the response fields into the columns of the row. Which fields come through, you check at the test.

  6. 06

    Test, then publish

    Run each step once and read what came back. When the row looks right, click Publish to switch the Zap on. From then on, each new response runs it.

Triggers

The Nicereply trigger

1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Nicereply, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Response

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new response is submitted.”

New Response hands Zapier each survey answer a customer submits in Nicereply, so the rest of your Zap can act on it. It is the only way into Nicereply from Zapier, so every Zap that uses this app starts with it.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
when a satisfaction answer should reach a place your team already checks, such as a shared sheet or a chat channel.
Watch out
it only picks up responses submitted after the Zap is published; older answers stay where they are.
When it breaks

When the Nicereply Zap breaks

Zapier ties no help article to Nicereply, so the cases below are the general limits of any Zap, applied to this one.

Each card names a limit and the move that avoids it. If a Zap still misbehaves, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.

  • Old responses never come through

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Responses already stored in Nicereply are not picked up; moving them is a separate job.
  • A huge batch can be held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
  • A Zap that feeds itself

    A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches can set itself off again and again, and burn through your task count fast.
  • The trigger type is fixed

    Whether a trigger is instant or polling is decided by the app and cannot be changed from the editor. Nicereply's is instant, so there is no interval to tune.

FAQ

Nicereply and Zapier: questions people ask

01Is the Nicereply Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on Zapier's free plan. Nicereply is not a premium app, and its one trigger, New Response, costs no task. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each built of two steps: one trigger and one action. That is enough to send each response to one other app. A second action or a filter turns the Zap into a multi-step Zap, and that needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Nicereply Zap use?
The trigger itself costs nothing. Each action that succeeds after it counts as one task, so a Zap that adds one spreadsheet row per response uses one task per response, and a Zap with three actions uses three. An action that does not go through is not counted. A few apps and a few actions take more than one task when they complete, so check the action you pick if your monthly count is tight.
03Does Nicereply reach Zapier in real time?
Yes. New Response is an instant trigger: Nicereply itself tells Zapier when a response is submitted, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The polling interval grid (15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise) does not apply to it. In the editor, a lightning bolt marks a Zap built on an instant trigger. That type is set by the app and cannot be switched from the editor.
04What do you need to connect Nicereply to Zapier?
An account on the app, 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 your Zapier account with + Add connection: you pick Nicereply, sign in in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. After that, every step that uses Nicereply reuses the same connection. Testing the trigger then brings back the three most recent responses of that account.
05Will responses collected before the Zap was on show up?
No. A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on, so every response submitted before you publish stays in Nicereply and never reaches the other app through the Zap. Moving that backlog is a separate job, outside the Zap. The practical habit: publish the Zap before the survey you care about goes out. And if a huge batch arrives all at once, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
06What if the Nicereply operation you want is not there?
Then Zapier cannot do it with Nicereply today. The Nicereply page on Zapier shows the current set of operations; on the date of this page it holds one trigger, New Response, and no action or search. Since a Zap cannot write into Nicereply, build around what the trigger hands over: the steps after it run in your other apps, each with its own actions, and that is where the response gets put to work.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Nicereply?
There is no single winner, so decide on criteria. Start with the connection: check that the tool you are eyeing offers Nicereply as a ready-made app in its catalog. Then the shape of the job: on Zapier, a trigger and one action fit the free plan, and every extra step means a paid plan. Then billing: Zapier counts each successful action as a task and never the trigger. Since the Nicereply trigger is instant, no polling interval sits between a response and the Zap.
