Overview

What the Nitro Travel Solutions Zapier integration does

Nitro Travel Solutions is the back office of an incoming tour operator: quotes, itineraries, vouchers and invoices in one place. The integration links it to Zapier, which chains apps together without code, so billing and supplier events stop living only inside Nitro.

Three results come up most. A finance log that fills itself: New Customer Invoice Payment passes every payment to a spreadsheet or your accounting tool. A sales team that hears about new accounts: New Customer can post the agency's name where the team works. And less double entry: Create Supplier adds a hotel or coach company to Nitro from a form, and Create Selling Invoice creates an invoice from data held elsewhere.

What Zapier does not do here matters just as much. All five triggers are polling ones, so none of them reacts the very second something happens in Nitro. There is no search step either: a Zap cannot look up an existing customer or project in Nitro, which makes the required Project and Customer fields of the invoice action harder to fill. And Zapier only offers two actions, so updating a booking or a voucher is out of reach.

If you are still comparing tools, the Make vs Zapier comparison sets out the criteria, and the Zapier review covers the platform itself.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

A handful of words carry this whole 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 the trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event that starts the Zap, such as a new customer invoice in Nitro. Once the Zap is on, Zapier waits for it.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that writes or sends something for you, like creating a supplier in Nitro.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action completed successfully. The number on your plan counts those and nothing else.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, keeping only what it has not seen. All five Nitro triggers work this way.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for the next check. Nitro has none.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets your condition, and quietly stops it otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
Cost

What it costs in tasks

Nitro Travel Solutions is not reserved for paid plans: it works on the free one.

  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Steps per Zap on FreeTwo: one trigger, one action
  • Paid-only appNo
  • BilledEach successful action

Here is the short version. The trigger costs nothing, and neither do Zapier's regular checks for new invoices, however often they run. Each action that succeeds counts as one task; a failed one is not billed. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps, a check every 15 minutes, and two steps per Zap. Add a filter, say to keep only large payments, and the Zap becomes multi-step: paid plan required.

Connect

Connect your Nitro account in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In Zapier, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need your own Nitro Travel Solutions login first, with access to the customers and invoices the Zap should read or write.

  2. 02

    Find Nitro Travel Solutions

    Type the name in the search box of the dialog, select Nitro Travel Solutions in the list, then click Add connection. A sign-in tab opens on the Nitro side.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to Nitro in that tab and allow Zapier to act on the account. The connection then appears in your list and every Nitro step of every Zap reuses it.

First Zap

Your first Zap: log every customer payment

GoalEach payment entered against a customer invoice in Nitro lands as a new row in a shared finance sheet.

  1. 01

    Pick the trigger

    Start a new Zap, choose Nitro Travel Solutions, then New Customer Invoice Payment. Select the connection you made above.

  2. 02

    Test on real payments

    Run the trigger test: Zapier brings back the three most recent payments of the account. Pick one with every field filled so the mapping uses real data.

  3. 03

    Add the filter

    Add a Filter step, choose the field to look at, the rule and the value to compare with. A text rule on an amount would never pass, so pick the number one.

  4. 04

    Write the row

    Add the spreadsheet app as the action and map the payment details from the trigger into its columns. With a filter in the middle, this Zap needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run each step once and check the row that came out in the sheet before going further. Then click Publish to switch the Zap on.

Triggers

The 5 Nitro Travel Solutions triggers

5 events start a Zap when something happens in Nitro Travel Solutions. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

New Customer

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a customer is created.”

Starts your Zap whenever a customer record is added in Nitro, for instance an agency you are about to send a quote to. You get the new account in the tools your sales and finance teams use, without anyone copying it across.

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
each new agency should land in your CRM or your welcome email sequence without anyone typing it.
Watch out
customers created before the Zap was published are never picked up.
2

New Customer Invoice Payment

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new customer invoice payment has been entered.”

Fires on each payment someone enters against a customer invoice in Nitro. This is the trigger finance teams care about most, because it marks money actually received rather than money billed.

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
your accountant wants a running list of incoming payments without exporting anything at month end.
Watch out
it reacts to the payment being entered in Nitro, so a payment nobody records there never reaches the Zap.
3

New Customer Invoice

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a customer invoice is created.”

Watches for each customer invoice created in Nitro and hands its details to the next step. Your invoicing still happens in Nitro; the Zap just makes sure the rest of the business knows about it.

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
every invoice sent to an agency should also be logged in your accounting tool or a follow-up sheet.
Watch out
if a Zap creates invoices with Create Selling Invoice, check this trigger does not pick them up and loop.
4

New Project Created

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new project is created.”

Reacts when a new project appears in Nitro, usually the first record created for a new piece of business. It is the earliest signal you can catch, well before any invoice exists.

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
operations want a task or a shared folder opened for every new trip that sales creates as a project.
Watch out
it also hands the project to later steps, which is the easiest way to fill the Project field of Create Selling Invoice.
5

New Supplier Invoice

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when new Supplier is registered in Nitro.”

Covers the purchasing side: the hotels, guides and transport companies that bill you. Zapier labels it as a supplier invoice trigger, but its official description talks about a new supplier being registered in Nitro.

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
purchasing costs must reach your accounts payable workflow without being typed twice.
Watch out
run the trigger test and read the three sample items before mapping, to see which of the two it really returns.
Actions

The 2 Nitro Travel Solutions actions

Nitro Travel Solutions gives you 2 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Create Selling Invoice

Action

In Zapier“Creates a selling invoice.”

Creates a selling invoice in Nitro from data held elsewhere, with its number, project, customer, dates, amount and currency.

When to use it
invoices are prepared in another tool, yet Nitro must still hold them so each project shows its real revenue.
Watch out
all seven fields are required, and the project and customer must already exist in Nitro.
2

Create Supplier

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new supplier.”

Adds a supplier to Nitro, with its public name, its internal name and its country, all three required.

When to use it
a partner hotel fills in an onboarding form, and its record should exist in Nitro before anyone quotes with it.
Watch out
the public and internal names are separate fields, so decide which naming rule your team follows before mapping them.
When it breaks

When a Nitro Travel Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to this app, so the cases below come from its required fields and from Zapier's general limits.

Most failures come from timing or from missing data, not from Nitro itself. When the cause is not listed here, the Zapier troubleshooting guide walks through the rest.

  • Last month's invoices never show up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is published. Invoices, payments and customers that already existed stay where they are; moving that history is a separate job.

  • The invoice action is refused

    Create Selling Invoice needs all seven fields, including an existing project and customer. One empty or unknown value and the step fails, without costing a task.

  • A Zap that feeds itself

    Creating invoices in Nitro from a Zap that watches new customer invoices can set it off again and again, and burns through your tasks fast.

  • A bulk import goes quiet

    Import a large batch of customers or invoices at once and Zapier's flood protection can hold the trigger back instead of firing for every item.

  • The free plan feels slow

    Every Nitro trigger is a polling one: on Free, Zapier checks every 15 minutes. That is how it works by design, not a fault in your Zap.

  • No duplicate for the same item

    Zapier remembers what a polling trigger has already returned, so the same invoice or customer does not start the Zap twice.

FAQ

Nitro Travel Solutions Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the Nitro Travel Solutions Zapier integration free?
Yes on the Zapier side: Nitro Travel Solutions is not reserved for paid plans, so it works on the free one. That plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each limited to one trigger and one action. A Zap such as new payment to new spreadsheet row fits. Add a filter or a second action and it becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. On the free plan, Zapier also checks the Nitro triggers only every 15 minutes.
02How many tasks does a Nitro Travel Zap use?
One task per action that succeeds, each time the Zap runs. The trigger is free, and so are the checks Zapier runs to find new invoices or customers, however often they happen. A Zap that writes one row per payment uses one task per payment. A Zap that also sends a message uses two. A failed action is not billed. So the volume of invoices and the number of actions per Zap decide the bill.
03Is Nitro Travel Solutions real time in Zapier?
No. All five Nitro triggers are polling triggers: Zapier asks Nitro for new items on a timer, then keeps only what it has not seen. On the free plan that check happens every 15 minutes, on Professional every 2, on Team and Enterprise every minute. Paid plans also let you run a check by hand from the editor. Nothing in the Zap editor can turn these triggers into instant ones, since that depends on Nitro's own setup.
04What does it take to connect Nitro Travel Solutions to Zapier?
A Nitro Travel Solutions account and a Zapier account. On the Apps page of Zapier, click + Add connection, search for the app, click Add connection, sign in to Nitro in the new tab and grant access. Your login needs access to the customers, projects and invoices the Zap will read or write. The connection is made once and every Nitro step reuses it. If a colleague owns the records, ask for access before you build.
05Why does Create Selling Invoice fail?
Usually because a required field is empty or points to something Nitro does not know. The action needs seven values: invoice number, project, customer, invoice date, due date, amount and currency. The project and the customer must already exist in Nitro. Since Zapier offers no Nitro search, the safest pattern is to start from New Project Created, which carries the project and its details into the following steps. Test the step on a real project first.
06What if the Nitro operation you need is not in Zapier?
Zapier only offers what the app exposes: five triggers and two actions. Updating a booking, creating a voucher or looking up an existing customer are not available. The practical route is to start from the events that do exist, such as new projects or invoices, and build around them. For anything beyond that, another automation tool or a direct link to Nitro is a bigger project worth scoping first. List the missing steps before you choose.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Nitro Travel Solutions?
Decide on criteria, not on a ranking. Zapier is quick to set up here: seven operations ready to use and a three-step connection. Its limits are polling every 15 minutes on Free and task billing per action. Make and n8n bill and host differently, which can matter when invoice volume is high, but check whether they offer Nitro operations before comparing. Invoice volume and steps per Zap are the two numbers to weigh.
