What the Ordermate Zapier integration does
It plugs Ordermate, the automated buying app that places orders for you at Amazon, Walmart and other retailers, into Zapier. Ordermate can then tell your other tools when an order moves forward, and your other tools can hand Ordermate new orders to place. Two operations, one in each direction.
Three results come out of it. A team that knows where purchases stand: Order Status Changed feeding a chat or email action keeps buyers and requesters informed without anyone checking Ordermate. A purchase log that writes itself: the same trigger adding a row to a sheet gives finance a running record of every status. Orders placed from a request: a form, a sheet row or a ticket in another app starts a Zap whose action is Create Order, so the request turns into a real purchase.
What Zapier does not do for Ordermate is just as useful to know. There is no search, so a Zap cannot look up an existing order before acting on it. There is no trigger for a brand-new order either: the only event is a status change. And nothing lets a Zap cancel or edit an order already sent. Ordermate stays the place where those corrections happen. For a wider view before you commit, see the Zapier review or the Zapier training.
Zapier vocabulary in one minute
Eight words are enough to read this page. Each is explained once here, then used without a reminder.
- Zap
- The automation you build in Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Ordermate offers exactly one: an order whose status has just changed.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or creates something for you, such as placing an order in Ordermate.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The allowance on your plan is counted in tasks.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for a scheduled check. Order Status Changed is one.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, asking the app for new items at a fixed interval. Ordermate has none.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter turns a Zap into one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What an Ordermate Zap really costs
The trigger never costs a task, and Ordermate is not reserved for paid plans: it works from the free plan. You pay for completed actions, Create Order included.
- Order Status Changed0 tasks
- Create Order, when it succeeds1 task
- Failed actionnot counted
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
Each action that succeeds counts as one task, and an action that fails is not counted against your plan. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and builds two-step Zaps: one trigger and one action. Add a second action or a filter, for example to react to a single status only, and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below concerns polling triggers only, so Order Status Changed never waits on it.
Connect your Ordermate account in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. A connection is your Ordermate account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Ordermate step in every Zap.
- 02
Find Ordermate
Search for Ordermate in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. You need an Ordermate account, plus access to anything you do not own yourself but want the Zap to touch.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Ordermate opens in a new tab. Sign in with the account that places the orders, then grant Zapier access. The connection is now ready for Order Status Changed and Create Order alike.
Your first Zap: post the status updates that matter
GoalWhen an Ordermate order reaches the status you care about, the team gets a message in its channel.
- 01
Pick the trigger
Start building the Zap, choose Ordermate as the app and Order Status Changed as the event that starts it, then select your connection.
- 02
Test on real orders
Run the trigger test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so the next steps are mapped on a real order, not on a sample.
- 03
Add the filter
Add a Filter step and set it so only the status you follow lets the Zap continue. Pick a text rule, since a number rule never matches a status.
- 04
Add the message
Pick Slack as the action app and write the message with details from the order. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test each step once and read what came back before going further. When the result looks right, publish the Zap to switch it on.
The Ordermate trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Ordermate, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
Order Status Changed
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an order status has changed.”
Each time an order handled by Ordermate moves to a new status, the Zap starts with that order and its new state. It is the only event Ordermate sends to Zapier, so every follow-up of a purchase hangs on this one trigger.
The Ordermate action
Ordermate gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Order
ActionIn Zapier“Creates an order to be processed to the retailer”
Hands Ordermate a new order to process with the retailer, so a request captured in another app becomes an actual purchase.
When an Ordermate Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Ordermate, and no limit specific to the app is documented. The cases below are the general ones that hit any Zap.
With one trigger and one action, the weak spots are few but real: timing, loops and volume. For anything outside these cases, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.
Earlier status changes never arrive
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Status changes from before publication are not picked up, and moving that history is a separate job.A Zap that keeps restarting
A Zap that writes into the very place its own trigger watches sets itself off again and again. Keep Create Order out of Zaps started by Order Status Changed.A sudden flood held back
When a trigger returns a huge batch at once, after a bulk import or a migration for instance, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.
