Overview

What the Orbit by Marmeto Zapier integration does

The Orbit by Marmeto Zapier integration takes events from your partner platform and hands them to your other tools. On Zapier you build a Zap, an automation that starts with one event and then runs one or more steps. With Orbit by Marmeto, the start is always one of two triggers, and everything after it happens in other apps.

Three outcomes make sense here. A partner lead log: each event picked up by the first trigger becomes a row in a spreadsheet, so the team has one list to sort and share. A sales handoff: the same event creates a contact in your CRM, so a referred lead does not wait for someone to copy it. A team heads-up: a message lands in a shared channel or an inbox, so the partner manager sees new activity without logging in.

Now what this integration does not do. Zapier cannot write anything back into Orbit by Marmeto: no action creates a partner, records a commission or updates a lead, and no search looks one up. Data travels one way, out, so any change on the partner side is made in the platform itself. Both triggers are also polling triggers, which means a delay you cannot remove on the free plan, and nothing that happened before the Zap went live is picked up.

To get the basics of building Zaps in a structured way, there is a Zapier training page.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words do the heavy lifting on this page. Here they are in plain English.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
Trigger
The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for it and does nothing before.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, here in another app.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan's quota is a count of those.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer: it asks the app for new items at a fixed interval and keeps only what it has not seen.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it quietly 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 Orbit by Marmeto costs you on Zapier

Orbit by Marmeto is not restricted to paid plans: it runs on the free plan. Its triggers never cost a task, and Zapier checking for new items costs nothing either, however often it looks.

  • Free plan100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps
  • Free plan Zap size2 steps: one trigger, one action
  • Orbit by Marmeto triggers0 instant, 2 polling
  • Paid-only appNo

You pay for actions in the next apps. Each action that succeeds in those apps counts once, and a failed action is not billed. Two actions per event means two tasks per event. The free plan builds two-step Zaps only: add a filter or a second action and the Zap needs a paid plan. Since both triggers poll, the grid below is the one that matters here: it sets how long an event can wait before your Zap sees it.

Connect

Connect Orbit by Marmeto to Zapier

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

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

  2. 02

    Select Orbit by Marmeto

    Type Orbit by Marmeto in the dialog, pick it, then click Add connection. You need an account on the platform, plus access to anything you do not own that the Zap should read.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to Orbit by Marmeto in the tab that opens and allow Zapier to reach the account. From then on, the connection shows up in the list on both triggers.

First Zap

Your first Orbit by Marmeto Zap, step by step

GoalSelected events from your partner program become rows in the spreadsheet your partner manager follows.

  1. 01

    Build: pick the trigger

    Create a Zap, choose Orbit by Marmeto as the app and Webhook as the event, the one that carries partner activity. Then select the connection you added earlier.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so the mapping is done on a real event rather than on blanks.

  3. 03

    Add a filter

    Click the plus icon, choose Filter, then set the field to read, the rule and the value. Use a text rule on text and a number rule on numbers, or nothing ever passes.

  4. 04

    Add the spreadsheet action

    Add your spreadsheet app as the action and map each value from the event into its column. Test the step once and open the sheet to check the row.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Click Publish. With the filter, the Zap has three steps and needs a paid plan, which also shortens the wait between checks to 2 minutes or less.

Triggers

Orbit by Marmeto triggers on Zapier

2 events start a Zap when something happens in Orbit by Marmeto. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.

1

Webhook

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when the webhook url respective to the event fires.”

Picks up a new event that Orbit by Marmeto has recorded for the event type it is tied to, and passes it to the next steps. It is the trigger to start from when partner activity, such as a referred lead, should travel into your sales tools.

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
an affiliate manager wants each referred prospect logged in the team's tracking sheet.
Watch out
Zapier remembers what it has already seen, so one event never starts the Zap twice, even across checks.
2

New Webhook

Polling trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new webhook is created for an event.”

Starts your Zap when a new notification link is created for one of the events in Orbit by Marmeto. In other words, it follows the setup of your account rather than partner activity itself.

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
an operations lead wants a note in a shared channel each time someone changes how events are wired.
Watch out
on paid plans the check interval can be changed, and a check can be run by hand from the editor.
When it breaks

When your Orbit by Marmeto Zap breaks

Zapier lists no help article and no rate limit specific to Orbit by Marmeto. What goes wrong comes from how Zapier handles polling triggers in general.

Four cases cover most surprises. If none of them matches yours, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.

  • The Zap seems slow

    Both triggers poll. On the free plan Zapier checks every 15 minutes, 2 on Professional and 1 on Team or Enterprise. The delay is the plan, not a fault.

  • Old events never show up

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Events already stored in Orbit by Marmeto are not picked up; moving that backlog is a separate job.

  • A big batch is held back

    When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back instead of running every item.

  • An event does not run twice

    Zapier keeps track of what it has already seen on a polling trigger. The same item never starts the Zap twice: that is by design, not a missed event.

FAQ

Orbit by Marmeto and Zapier: frequent questions

01Is the Orbit by Marmeto Zapier integration free?
Yes. Zapier does not reserve Orbit by Marmeto for paid plans, so it runs on the free plan. That plan gives you 100 tasks per month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap stops at two steps: one trigger and one action. One of the two triggers followed by one action in another app fits. A filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, and it then needs a paid plan. On the free plan, the triggers are checked every 15 minutes.
02How many tasks does an Orbit by Marmeto Zap use?
One task per action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger. A Zap that logs each event in a spreadsheet uses one task per event. Add a chat message after it and each event costs two. Zapier checking the triggers for new items costs nothing, however often it looks, and a failed action is not counted. On the free plan, the budget is 100 tasks per month, so count events times actions to see if it holds.
03Does Orbit by Marmeto trigger Zaps in real time?
No. Both triggers are polling triggers: Zapier asks Orbit by Marmeto for new items at a fixed interval, then keeps only what it has not seen. That interval depends on your plan: 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team or Enterprise. The type of a trigger is decided by the app and cannot be changed from the editor. On paid plans you can change how often the check runs, and run one by hand when you need it.
04What does it take to connect Orbit by Marmeto to Zapier?
An Orbit by Marmeto account, plus access to anything you do not own that the Zap should read. The connection takes three moves. Open Apps in Zapier and click + Add connection. Search for Orbit by Marmeto and click Add connection. Then sign in to the platform in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. The connection is then reused by both triggers and by every Zap that starts from them.
05Why does a test event take so long to start the Zap?
Because both triggers poll, and the free plan checks every 15 minutes. An event created just after a check waits for the next one, so a delay up to that interval is normal. Paid plans shorten it to 2 minutes on Professional and 1 on Team or Enterprise, and let you run a check by hand. When testing the trigger in the editor, Zapier brings back the three most recent items, so the test itself does not wait.
06What if the Orbit by Marmeto action you need is not on Zapier?
Then that step has to happen in Orbit by Marmeto itself. On Zapier the app offers two triggers and no action or search, so Zapier can read events but cannot create a partner, record a commission or update a lead. Everything after the trigger runs in other apps. If a process depends on writing back into the platform, this integration does not cover it, and the work stays manual on that side.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Orbit by Marmeto?
Choose on criteria rather than a ranking. Coverage first: on Zapier this app gives two polling triggers and nothing else, so check that a one-way flow out is enough. Timing next: polling means a wait of up to 15 minutes on the free plan and 2 minutes or less on paid plans; decide what delay your team accepts. Shape last: a two-step Zap is free, a filter or extra action is paid. Check the same points on any other platform before deciding.
