What the Panop Zapier integration does for a security team
Panop maps the attack surface of an organization: the assets, zones and findings that face the outside world. The Zapier integration lets Panop start an automation each time it discovers one of those three things. Panop only speaks first here: it has no actions, so the work after the trigger always happens in another app.
Three outcomes cover most of what people build with it. An alert for every new finding: New Finding starts the Zap and a second app sends the message to whoever owns remediation. An inventory that keeps itself current: New Asset adds one line to a spreadsheet or a database each time Panop spots a new piece of your exposed perimeter. A heads-up on new perimeter: New Zone tells the infrastructure team that the scope just grew, before anyone has to ask.
What Zapier does not do for Panop matters just as much. No step can write back into Panop: you cannot close a finding, tag an asset or start a scan from a Zap. No search step exists either, so a Zap cannot look up an existing Panop record halfway through. And all three triggers are polling triggers, so nothing arrives the second Panop sees it.
If you are still weighing tools, the n8n vs Zapier and Make vs Zapier comparisons sit next to this page.
Zapier vocabulary, the short version
Eight words come back on every line of this page. Here they are in plain terms.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier. One trigger at the top, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that sets the Zap off. Once you switch the Zap on, Zapier waits for it. Here, all three triggers come from Panop.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you. With Panop, actions always live in another app.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap carried out successfully, and your plan counts those, nothing else.
- Polling trigger
- A trigger Zapier checks on a timer. It asks the app for its latest items at a fixed interval and keeps only what it has not seen yet.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for the next check. Panop has none of these.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets a condition you set, and quietly stops it otherwise.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A second action, a filter or a search turns a Zap into one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What a Panop Zap really costs
Panop is not a premium app, so it works from the free plan onward. The bill comes from the actions, never from Panop itself.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan Zap sizeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- Panop triggerCosts no task
- Filter or second actionMulti-step Zap, paid plan
The trigger never costs a task, and neither does checking Panop for new items, however often Zapier looks. A task is counted when an action succeeds; one that fails is not counted. A Zap with three actions eats three times what a one-action Zap eats. The free plan holds Zaps of two steps only, one trigger and one action. Add a filter to keep only some findings and the Zap becomes multi-step, which needs a paid plan.
Connect Panop to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Panop account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that touches Panop.
- 02
Pick Panop
Type Panop in the search box of the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. You need an existing Panop account for the next step to go anywhere.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Sign in to Panop in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access to the account. Make sure that account can read the assets, findings and zones you want the Zap to pick up.
Your first Panop Zap: route new findings to the right inbox
GoalEach new Panop finding that matches your condition lands in the security team's inbox.
- 01
Build the Zap
Create a new Zap, pick Panop as the app that starts it, then choose
New Findingas the event. Select the Panop connection you added earlier. - 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent findings of the connected account, so you map the next steps on a real one rather than on a blank form.
- 03
Add a filter
Click the plus icon and add Filter. Set the field to look at, the rule and the value. A text rule only works on text, so pick the rule type that fits the field.
- 04
Add the email action
Add the action in your mail app and map the finding details from the Panop step into the subject and body. Test that step once and read what came back.
- 05
Publish
Publish the Zap to switch it on. Remember the filter makes it a multi-step Zap: without it, the same Zap fits on the free plan.
The 3 Panop triggers
3 events start a Zap when something happens in Panop. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
New Asset
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an new asset is discovered by Panop.”
Starts the Zap when Panop discovers a new asset on your attack surface, then passes what it knows about that asset to the next step. Useful for anyone who keeps a perimeter inventory outside Panop and is tired of updating it by hand.
New Finding
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an new finding is discovered by Panop.”
Fires on each finding Panop reports, which makes it the trigger closest to an alert. The finding reaches the next step of the Zap with its details, ready to be forwarded, logged or turned into a ticket in another tool.
New Zone
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when an new zone is discovered by Panop.”
Kicks off when Panop identifies a new zone, a fresh area of the perimeter it now watches. A new zone means the scope itself has changed, so it suits a heads-up to whoever owns the perimeter.
When a Panop Zap breaks
Zapier publishes no help article dedicated to Panop, so the traps below are the general ones of Zapier, applied to a security feed.
None of these will show up as a red error on day one. They show up as a missing alert, an alert that shows up one interval late, or a task counter that climbs faster than expected. If one of them bites, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.
No catch-up on old findings
The Zap only reacts to what Panop discovers after you publish it. Everything already listed stays out, and importing that history is a separate job.Big batches can be held back
After a first scan or a sudden spike, Panop can return a huge batch at once. Zapier's flood protection may then hold those items back instead of running them all.Polling means a delay
All three triggers are polling triggers. On the free plan a new finding can wait up to 15 minutes before the Zap sees it.A failed action costs nothing, but stops
If the email or ticket step fails, no task is counted. The alert simply does not go out, so watch the Zap after your first real finding.
