What the Nutrient Workflow Automation Zapier integration is for
It lets other apps feed your document workflows. Nutrient Workflow Automation runs business processes built around documents, such as approvals or requests. With Zapier, an event somewhere else (a new row, a form answer, an order) submits a form inside one of those processes, so nobody retypes the data by hand.
Everything goes through a single action, Submit Form, but it covers several real needs. Requests that start themselves: a purchase request typed into a spreadsheet lands as a submitted form in the approval process. Intake from the outside: answers collected by a web form reach the matching Nutrient process without a copy-paste. One process per source: because you pick the process in the step, two Zaps can feed two different workflows from two different tools.
What Zapier does not do here matters as much. The app has no trigger, so a Nutrient process can never start a Zap: Zapier cannot react when a request is approved or rejected. It has no search step either, so nothing on this page reads back what a process contains. The flow only goes one way, into Nutrient.
If that one-way limit is a problem, the n8n vs Zapier comparison is the place to weigh another platform before you build anything on Zapier.
Zapier words in one minute
Seven words come back in every section below. Here they are in plain English.
- 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. Nutrient Workflow Automation offers none.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you. Submit Form is the only one here.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action that completes successfully. The count on your plan is a count of exactly those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself as soon as the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it right there otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Nutrient account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step of every Zap that calls the app.
What a Nutrient Workflow Automation Zap costs
Nutrient Workflow Automation is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan. You pay in tasks, and only actions make them.
- Premium appNo, available on the free plan
- Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan limitTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- BilledEach successful Submit Form
The trigger from the other app costs nothing, however often Zapier checks it. Each Submit Form that succeeds counts as one task, and one that fails is not counted. With 100 tasks a month on the free plan, that means up to 100 submitted forms. The free plan stops at two steps (one trigger, one action): add a filter or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. A few apps and actions take more than one task when they complete.
Connect Nutrient Workflow Automation in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a Nutrient Workflow Automation account, with access to the processes you want the Zap to feed.
- 02
Find the app in the dialog
Type Nutrient Workflow Automation in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new browser tab then opens on the Nutrient side.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Log in to Nutrient in that tab and allow Zapier to use the account. The connection then appears in your list and every Zap that submits a form reuses it.
Your first Zap: spreadsheet rows into a Nutrient process
GoalEach purchase request added to a spreadsheet is submitted to the approval process in Nutrient, without anyone copying it over.
- 01
Build: pick the starting event
Create a Zap and choose the app where requests are typed, here a spreadsheet, as the trigger. Nutrient Workflow Automation cannot start the Zap, it has no trigger.
- 02
Test the trigger on a real row
Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account. Pick a complete one, so the mapping that follows uses real values.
- 03
Add a filter on the status
Click the plus icon, choose Filter, then set the field, the rule and the value, for instance a status column equal to ready. This makes the Zap multi-step, so it needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add Submit Form
Choose Nutrient Workflow Automation, then
Submit Form. Select the process holding the task to submit, then map the spreadsheet columns into the form fields. - 05
Test, then publish
Test the step and check in Nutrient that the form arrived where expected. Then click Publish: each new row that passes the filter is submitted.
The one Nutrient Workflow Automation action
Nutrient Workflow Automation gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Submit Form
ActionIn Zapier“Submit a form to Nutrient Workflow Automation”
Fills in and submits the form of a task inside a Nutrient process, using values the earlier steps carried. Nobody has to open the process and type the request a second time.
When a Nutrient Workflow Automation Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to this app, so the known failure modes are the ones every Zap shares.
Four cases explain most surprises. For a methodical walk through a broken Zap, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.
Earlier requests are never submitted
A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Rows or answers that already existed stay where they are; moving that backlog is a separate job.The Zap keeps setting itself off
If a later step writes back into the sheet the trigger watches, each write starts the Zap again, submits more forms and burns through your tasks.A bulk import is held back
Paste hundreds of rows at once and the trigger returns a huge batch. Zapier's flood protection can then hold it back.The same row is not sent twice
On a polling trigger, Zapier remembers what it has already seen. Editing a row it already processed will not submit a second form.
