OKAST Zapier integrationAutomate OKAST with Zapier.

The OKAST Zapier integration gives you 18 triggers, 0 actions and 0 searches. All of them are instant: a sign-up, a purchase or a failed payment on your video platform starts a Zap in your other tools at once. Zapier never writes back into OKAST.

Overview

What the OKAST Zapier integration actually does

OKAST runs your branded video-on-demand and live streaming platform. Linking it to Zapier means one thing: every time something happens to a viewer, an offer or a payment on that platform, OKAST reports it to Zapier, and a Zap (the automation you build there, made of one trigger and the actions that follow) passes it on to the rest of your tools.

Three results people usually build first. A live subscriber list: New Registration and New Subscription feed a spreadsheet or a CRM, so marketing sees each new viewer without exporting anything. A payment alert: Payment Failed and Payment Incomplete warn whoever handles billing as soon as a payment goes wrong. A content team heads-up: Admin: Job Status Done and Admin: Job Status Failed tell the editors whether an uploaded video finished encoding or needs a second try.

Now what it does not do. OKAST has no action and no search on Zapier, so a Zap cannot create a user, change an offer or look anything up inside OKAST. The flow goes one way: out of OKAST, into your other apps. If you need to push data into the platform, Zapier is not the route today. That limit matters more than any trigger detail when you plan a project; the Zapier review covers what the tool does well elsewhere, and the n8n vs Zapier comparison helps when the one-way flow is a deal-breaker.

Vocabulary

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 in Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event shows up.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier sits and waits for it to happen.
Action
What the Zap does after it starts: 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 finishes successfully, and your plan counts those.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant trigger is pushed by the app itself, the moment the event happens. Every OKAST trigger is instant.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when the incoming data meets your condition, and stops it quietly otherwise.
Search step
A step that looks up something already stored in an app so later steps can reuse it. OKAST offers none.
Connection
Your OKAST account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap and every step that needs OKAST.
Cost

What an OKAST Zap really costs

The OKAST side is free: a trigger never costs a task, however many sign-ups or purchases come through. You pay for what happens next.

  • Trigger0 task, always
  • Each successful action1 task
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • OKAST premium appNo, works on the free plan

Each action that succeeds counts as one task. A Zap with three actions uses three times more than a one-action Zap, and an action that fails is not counted. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but only two-step Zaps: one trigger, one action. Add a filter (say, keep only failed payments above a threshold) or a second action and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. OKAST is not a premium app, so the free plan accepts it. The interval grid below only concerns polling triggers; OKAST's 18 are instant and fire straight away on every plan.

Connect

Connect your OKAST account to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need an existing OKAST account first, with access to the platform whose events you want to follow.

  2. 02

    Pick OKAST

    Type OKAST in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. A new browser tab then opens on the OKAST side, ready for you to log in with the account that runs your platform.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Log in to OKAST in that tab and allow Zapier to reach the account. The connection then shows up in your Apps list, and every future Zap reuses it without asking again.

First Zap

Your first OKAST Zap, step by step

GoalEach new OKAST registration lands in a spreadsheet and triggers a welcome email.

  1. 01

    Build the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose OKAST as the app and New Registration as the event, then select the OKAST connection you made in the previous section.

  2. 02

    Test it on real data

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent registrations from your account, so you map fields on a real viewer, not on a blank sample.

  3. 03

    Add the first action

    Pick the spreadsheet app, choose the row action and map the viewer details from the OKAST step into the matching columns.

  4. 04

    Add the email

    Add the email step and reuse the same viewer data. Two actions make this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan and costs two tasks per sign-up.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Test each step once, read what came back, then publish. From that moment, every new registration runs the Zap; earlier ones stay where they are.

Triggers

The 18 OKAST triggers

18 events start a Zap when something happens in OKAST, and 18 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

Cancel Subscription

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a subscription is cancelled.”

Starts the Zap as soon as a viewer ends a subscription on your OKAST platform, which gives you a chance to react before the churn is forgotten.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
send the cancellation to your CRM and open a win-back sequence for that viewer.
Watch out
it tells you a subscription ended, not why; collect the reason elsewhere if you need it.
2

New Comment Abuse

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a comment is reported for abuse.”

Fires when someone on your platform reports a comment as abusive, and the report reaches a person instead of waiting in the back office.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
post each report to the moderators' chat channel, where someone can act on it.
Watch out
a busy comment thread can produce a burst of reports, and every action in the Zap counts as a task.
3

Create Password

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an user is created through the retailer workflow.”

Kicks off when OKAST creates a user through what the platform calls the retailer workflow, a separate path from the usual sign-up.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
log reseller-created accounts in a separate sheet so partner sales stay visible.
Watch out
the name suggests a password event, but it only covers accounts born from the retailer route; ordinary sign-ups come through New Registration.
4

Delete Account

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a user is deleted his account.”

Reports a viewer who removed their own account from your platform, the cleanest signal you get that someone has really left.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
remove or tag that person in your mailing tool so they stop receiving newsletters.
Watch out
once the account is gone, a later step cannot fetch more about it from OKAST, so map what you need from the trigger itself.
5

Admin: Job Status Done

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an encoding job completes successfully.”

Your team hears that an uploaded video has finished encoding. It is ready to publish, and nobody had to keep refreshing the admin panel to find out.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
ping the editor who uploaded the file so the video goes live the same day.
Watch out
this is an admin event; connect an OKAST account that can see encoding jobs, or nothing arrives.
6

Admin: Job Status Failed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an encoding job fail.”

Flags an encoding job that did not complete, the moment a video gets stuck between upload and catalogue.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
open a ticket in your support or project tool so someone re-uploads the file.
Watch out
pair it with Admin: Job Status Done in two Zaps rather than one, since each Zap has a single trigger.
7

Forgot Password

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a reset password is requested.”

Hands Zapier every password reset request made on your platform, which is a quiet indicator of viewers struggling to log in.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
count resets in a spreadsheet to spot a login problem after a platform change.
Watch out
the trigger reports the request, not whether the viewer completed the reset.
8

New Activation Freecopy Unique Code

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a user use freecopy unique code .”

Fires when a viewer redeems a freecopy unique code, the access code you hand out so someone can watch without paying.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
measure which press or partner codes actually get used during a launch.
Watch out
it reacts to the activation, not to the sending; New FreeCopy covers the moment the code goes out.
9

New FreeCopy

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a freecopy is sent to a user.”

Records each freecopy that OKAST sends to a user, so you keep a trace of who received free access and when.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
keep a shared list of journalists or partners who got a screener.
Watch out
sent does not mean watched; compare it with the activation trigger before drawing conclusions.
10

New Gift

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a Gift is sent.”

Signals a gift sent on your platform, when one viewer offers access to another person.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
add the recipient to a welcome sequence so the gift turns into an active viewer.
Watch out
the purchase of the gift is a separate event, Gift Confirmation; pick the one that matches your goal.
11

Gift Confirmation

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a gift is purchased.”

Confirms that a gift was paid for, which is the event your finance side cares about rather than the delivery.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
log gift revenue in your accounting spreadsheet during a gift campaign.
Watch out
keep it in its own Zap; mixing it with New Gift in reports counts the same gift twice.
12

Live Stream Informations

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new live stream is created”

Reacts when a new live stream is created on OKAST, giving you a head start to promote 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
draft a social post or a newsletter block announcing the upcoming live.
Watch out
despite the key name, it fires on the creation of the live, not when the broadcast actually begins.
13

Payment Confirmation

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a payment is successful (Stripe).”

Fires on every payment that goes through, as reported by the Stripe checkout behind your OKAST platform.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
create the matching invoice line or thank-you message in another tool.
Watch out
on a busy launch day this one runs the most often, so watch how many actions you hang on it.
14

Payment Failed

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a payment failed (Stripe).”

Warns you when a Stripe payment on your platform fails, the exact moment a viewer is about to give up.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
alert your billing contact and send the viewer a short help message.
Watch out
a viewer may retry and succeed on the next attempt, so word the follow-up softly and skip any blame.
15

Payment Incomplete

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a payment is incomplete (Stripe). Needs an additional confirmation (SCA).”

Catches a Stripe payment left halfway because the bank asked for an extra confirmation, the strong customer authentication step known as SCA.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
remind the viewer to approve the payment in their banking app.
Watch out
incomplete is not failed; keep this Zap apart from the Payment Failed one so messages do not contradict each other.
16

New Purchase

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new purchase is made.”

Announces a new purchase on your platform, whether a viewer buys a title outright or rents 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
feed a sales dashboard that shows which films sell during a campaign.
Watch out
a purchase and its payment are two events; choose one of them as your source of truth for revenue.
17

New Registration

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new user is registered to the platform.”

Starts a Zap whenever a new user registers on your OKAST platform, the most common entry point for any automation.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
push every newcomer to your email tool with a welcome tag.
Watch out
viewers who registered before you published the Zap are not sent; import them once by hand.
18

New Subscription

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a user subscribes to a new Offer.”

Tells you when a user subscribes to one of your offers, the recurring revenue signal of the platform.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
move the contact to a subscriber stage in your CRM.
Watch out
with several offers, a filter to keep one offer turns the Zap multi-step and needs a paid plan.
When it breaks

When an OKAST Zap breaks

Zapier lists no OKAST-specific error, so the traps below are the general ones that hit this app in practice.

Most surprises come from timing and plan limits rather than from OKAST itself. The Zapier troubleshooting guide walks through the fixes in more detail.

  • Past events never arrive

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Earlier registrations, purchases or subscriptions stay out, and moving that history is a separate job.

  • A launch day floods the Zap

    When a huge batch of events lands at once, for instance after a bulk import of users, Zapier's flood protection can hold the runs back.

  • The Zap will not turn on

    On the free plan a Zap holds two steps only. A filter, a second action or a search makes it multi-step and blocks publishing until you upgrade.

  • Nothing goes back into OKAST

    OKAST has no action on Zapier. A Zap that tries to update a viewer or an offer on the platform has no step to do it, whatever plan you pay for.

FAQ

OKAST Zapier integration: your questions

01Is the OKAST Zapier integration free?
Yes, OKAST is not a premium app, so it works on the free Zapier plan. That plan gives you 100 tasks a month and as many Zaps as you like, but each Zap is limited to two steps: one OKAST trigger and one action. The trigger costs nothing; the action counts one task each time it succeeds. As soon as you need a filter, a second action or a search, the Zap becomes multi-step and requires a paid plan. Price grids change often, so check the plan page before committing a budget.
02How many tasks does an OKAST Zap use?
One per successful action, and nothing for the trigger. If New Purchase feeds a spreadsheet only, each purchase costs one task. If the same Zap also sends an email, each purchase costs two. An action that fails is not billed. The real question is volume: a trigger like Payment Confirmation or New Registration can run many times a day during a launch, so multiply your expected events by the number of actions before picking a plan.
03Does OKAST trigger Zaps in real time?
Yes, all 18 OKAST triggers are instant. OKAST tells Zapier the moment the event happens, so the Zap starts straight away on every plan, the free one included. The polling intervals you see in Zapier's plan grid, such as 15 minutes on the free plan, do not apply here. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt, which is a quick way to confirm it.
04What does it take to connect OKAST to Zapier?
An OKAST account and a Zapier account. In Zapier, open Apps, click + Add connection, pick OKAST, sign in in the tab that opens and grant access. For the two admin triggers about encoding jobs, connect an account that can see those jobs on the platform; otherwise the Zap waits for events it is not allowed to receive. Once made, the connection is reused by every OKAST Zap you build later, so you never repeat these steps.
05Can Zapier create users or offers in OKAST?
No. OKAST offers 18 triggers and no action or search on Zapier, so a Zap can only read events coming out of the platform. It cannot create a viewer, grant access, change an offer or look up a subscriber inside OKAST. Every OKAST Zap therefore starts in OKAST and ends in another tool. If your process needs to write into the platform, plan for another route than Zapier for that part.
06What if the OKAST event you need is not in the list?
Then Zapier cannot catch it today, and no setting in the editor will add it: the list of triggers comes from OKAST itself. Check first whether a close event covers the case, for example New Purchase instead of a rental-only event, or New Subscription with a filter on the offer. If nothing fits, the request belongs with OKAST, who maintain the integration, or with a tool that can reach the platform another way.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for OKAST?
Judge on three criteria rather than a ranking. First, availability: this page documents the Zapier side, with 18 instant triggers ready to use; check whether the other tool offers an OKAST connector before comparing anything else. Second, direction: if you only need to push OKAST events into other apps, Zapier covers it. Third, budget and control: Zapier bills per successful action, and the other two use different models, so estimate your monthly event volume before choosing.
