Overview

Why connect Notify Me! to Zapier

The Notify Me! Zapier integration turns each back-in-stock request in your store into a starting point for an automation. A Zap (the automation you build on Zapier: one starting event, then one or more steps that run each time) waits for a new signup, then sends it wherever you need it.

Three things you can get from that one trigger. A live demand log: every signup becomes a row in a sheet, so your buyer sees which sold-out products people keep asking for. A heads-up for the team: a message in your chat tool each time a shopper joins a waitlist, useful when a restock decision is pending. And a cleaner CRM: the shopper's details go to your email or CRM tool, ready for your own follow-up.

What Zapier can't do with Notify Me!, since the listing won't tell you. There is no action, so a Zap can't create a waitlist, send the back-in-stock email or change a signup: that stays inside Notify Me!. There is no search either. The single trigger also works by polling, so signups reach your other tools after a short wait, not the second they happen. And Zapier lists the app as a beta.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words come back on this page. Here they are once, in plain English.

Zap
The automation itself: one starting event, then one or more steps that run every single 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 back-in-stock signup.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, in another app here.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's monthly number counts exactly those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer: it asks the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only the unseen ones.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app itself reports to Zapier the moment the event happens. Notify Me! has none, so the timer applies.
Multi-step Zap
Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action, a filter or a search makes it one, and it needs a paid plan.
Cost

What it really costs

Notify Me! is not a premium app, so it runs on the free plan. And since it only starts Zaps, it never costs a task by itself.

  • Premium appNo, free plan works
  • Free plan100 tasks a month
  • Free plan Zap size2 steps: 1 trigger, 1 action
  • Cost of the trigger0 tasks

The New Back in Stock Subscription trigger is free, however often Zapier checks for new signups. What counts is each action that succeeds in the other apps: one row added, one task. A failed action counts for nothing. The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only, and a check every 15 minutes. Log the signup and ping the team in the same Zap, and that's a multi-step Zap on a paid plan, with two tasks per signup.

Connect

Connect your Notify Me! account

  1. 01

    Open Apps

    In Zapier, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Notify Me! account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that starts from it.

  2. 02

    Pick Notify Me!

    Search for Notify Me! in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. You need an active Notify Me! account on your store before you start, since Zapier can't create one.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    A tab opens on Notify Me!. Sign in and grant Zapier access to the account. If the store belongs to someone else, make sure your login can see its waitlists.

First Zap

Your first Zap: log demand and alert the team

GoalEvery back-in-stock signup lands in a sheet and pings the team in Slack.

  1. 01

    Pick the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose Notify Me! and New Back in Stock Subscription, then pick your connection.

    Nothing else to set at this stage.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent signups. Pick a real one, not an empty sample, so the next steps map onto real values.

  3. 03

    Log the signup

    Add Google Sheets and choose to create a row. Map the details of the signup into your columns. That's one task per signup.

  4. 04

    Alert the team

    Add a Slack step that posts each new signup in your buying channel. A second action makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Test each step, read what came back, then click Publish. Only signups made after this moment go through; older ones stay where they are.

Triggers

The Notify Me! trigger on Zapier

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

1

New Back in Stock Subscription

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a customer signs up to be notified when a product is back in stock.”

Starts your Zap each time a shopper asks to be told when a sold-out product returns, carrying that request into the next steps so another app can log it, count it or pass it to your team.

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
you're deciding which sold-out products to reorder and want a running tally of who is waiting for each one.
Watch out
only signups made after the Zap is published come through, so existing waitlists never show up in the sheet.
When it breaks

When it breaks

Zapier ties no help article to Notify Me!, so the known failure points are the ones every Zap shares.

  • Existing waitlists aren't imported

    A Zap only reacts to signups made after you switch it on. Everyone already on a waitlist stays out of your sheet; moving that backlog is a separate job.

  • A loop that drains tasks

    If a later step writes back into the place your trigger watches, the Zap keeps setting itself off and eats tasks fast. Keep the output elsewhere.

  • A rush of signups held back

    When a viral product sells out and the trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of running every one.

  • Each signup counted once

    Zapier remembers which signups it has already seen on this polling trigger, so the same request never starts the Zap twice.

FAQ

Notify Me! Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the Notify Me! Zapier integration free?
Yes, it works on Zapier's free plan, since Notify Me! is not a premium app. That plan includes 100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps and a check every 15 minutes. The limit people miss is size: free Zaps have two steps, one trigger and one action. New Back in Stock Subscription followed by one row in a sheet fits. Add a Slack alert on top, and the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Notify Me! Zap use?
The trigger itself uses none. Zapier checking Notify Me! for new signups is free, however often it looks. What counts is each action that succeeds afterward in your other apps: one row added is one task, a Slack message on top is a second one. A failed action isn't counted. So forty signups in a month, each logged in a sheet, means forty tasks, and twice that if every signup also pings the team.
03Is the Notify Me! trigger real time?
No. New Back in Stock Subscription is a polling trigger: Zapier goes to check for new signups at a fixed interval, and that interval follows your plan. It's 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. On the paid plans the interval can be changed, and you can also run a check by hand from the editor when you're testing. For a restock decision, that delay rarely matters.
04What do you need to connect Notify Me! to Zapier?
A Notify Me! account set up on your store, and access to its waitlists if the store isn't yours. From the Apps page in Zapier, click + Add connection, search for Notify Me!, sign in in the tab that opens and grant access. Then make sure at least one signup exists: testing the trigger pulls the three most recent, and an empty account leaves you nothing to map the next steps on.
05Why don't existing waitlist signups show up in Zapier?
Because a Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Shoppers who joined a waitlist before you published the Zap never start it, and Zapier won't go back for them. If you need that history in your sheet, treat it as a separate, one-off job outside the Zap. From then on, the Zap keeps the list up to date with each new signup, with nothing for you to do by hand.
06What if the Notify Me! operation you need isn't there?
Then Zapier can't do it with this app today. Notify Me! offers one trigger, New Back in Stock Subscription, and no action or search. Creating a waitlist, sending the back-in-stock email from a Zap, or looking up a shopper's signups are all out of reach here. The usual approach is to let Notify Me! handle its own emails and use the Zap only to copy each signup into the tools where your team works.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Notify Me!?
Pick on criteria rather than a ranking. Zapier gives you the New Back in Stock Subscription trigger ready to use, and the free plan covers a simple two-step Zap. If you need branching, many steps per signup or self-hosting, compare how each platform bills its runs and whether it offers a ready-made Notify Me! connector or makes you reach the app another way. Your signup volume and your team's comfort with technical setup decide it.
