What the Petloop Zapier integration is good for
Petloop is a client app for pet trainers: the trainer and the dog owner keep their exchanges there, so files, pictures, clips and notes stop getting lost in a phone. On Zapier it offers a single move. It cannot start a Zap, but a Zap started elsewhere can create a training in Petloop.
That one action still covers useful ground. Here are three outcomes it can deliver. A booking that turns into a program: a client books a session in your scheduling tool, and Create Training sets up the matching training in Petloop with trainer, client, dates and service. A sale that opens a program: a package bought through your shop or payment tool starts a Zap that creates the training, so the client finds it ready. A form that onboards: an intake form about a new dog leads straight to a training record, without retyping.
What Zapier does not do for Petloop: there is no trigger, so nothing that happens inside Petloop can start a Zap. There is no search, no update and no delete; a training created by mistake has to be fixed in Petloop itself. And the trigger app only reacts to what happens after the Zap goes live.

Zapier terms in plain words
The page uses a handful of Zapier words. Here is each one, once.
- Zap
- Your automation on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts a Zap. Petloop has none, so the trigger always comes from another app.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something. Create Training is one.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. Your plan counts tasks and nothing else.
- Instant vs polling trigger
- Instant: the app tells Zapier the moment the event happens. Polling: Zapier checks the app at a fixed interval set by your plan.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition, and stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Petloop account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Petloop step in your Zaps.
What a Petloop Zap costs
Every training Create Training adds successfully is 1 task. The trigger of the other app costs nothing, and a failed action is not counted.
- Trigger of the other app0 tasks
- Each training created1 task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
- Filter or second actionPaid plan
The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and two-step Zaps: one trigger and Create Training fits exactly. Add a filter or a second action and the Zap turns multi-step, which needs a paid plan. Speed depends on the trigger app, not on Petloop: if that trigger is polling, Zapier checks it at the interval of your plan below; if it is instant, the grid does not apply. Either way, the check itself never costs a task.
Connect Petloop to Zapier in three steps
- 01
Open your Zapier apps
Go to the Apps page of your Zapier account and click + Add connection. You need a Petloop account, plus access to any client or trainer records you do not own but want the Zap to write to.
- 02
Choose Petloop
Search for Petloop by name in the dialog, select it from the results, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Petloop side, where you sign in.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Log in to Petloop in that tab and allow Zapier to access the account. The connection is saved, and every Create Training step in every Zap reuses it, so you only do this once.
Your first Zap: turn each training booking into a Petloop training
GoalWhen a client books a training session in Calendly and the booking matches your condition, Petloop creates the training.
- 01
Start with the booking
Create a Zap and pick Calendly as the trigger app, with the event for a new booking. Connect your Calendly account when Zapier asks for it.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent bookings of the connected account, so you map Petloop's fields on a real one.
- 03
Add a filter
From the plus icon, add Filter and set the field, the rule and the value. With this step the Zap is multi-step and needs a paid plan.
- 04
Add Create Training
Pick Petloop and Create Training. Fill the trainer and client emails, the dates, the service, the age type and a Zapier ID unique to the booking.
- 05
Test and publish
Test the action once and check the training in Petloop. If it looks right, click Publish. Each new matching booking now creates its training.
Petloop actions
Petloop gives you 1 action. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Create Training
ActionIn Zapier“Creates a new training”
Sets up a new training in Petloop that links a trainer and a client over a period, for a given service, using details the trigger brought in.
When a Petloop Zap breaks
Zapier ties no help article to Petloop and lists no limit of its own for it. The failures come from Create Training's required fields and from Zapier's general rules.
Three cases explain most problems. For anything else, start from our Zapier troubleshooting page.
Several trainings share one ID
Petloop uses the Zapier ID to prevent duplicate records. If you map a fixed value, or one shared by several bookings, trainings that should be distinct end up sharing one ID.Past bookings never become trainings
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Bookings made before that are not picked up; creating those trainings is a separate job.A bulk import is held back
When the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a migration, Zapier's flood protection can hold those items back.
