Pliek Zapier integrationAutomate Pliek with Zapier.
The Pliek Zapier integration comes down to 1 trigger, 0 actions and 0 searches. That single trigger is instant: it fires when a visitor sends a form from your Pliek widget. Everything else happens in the other apps of your Zap, and it works on the free plan.

What the Pliek Zapier integration does
Pliek shows sales notifications on your site to push your products, and its widget can carry a form. The Zapier integration catches each form a visitor submits there and hands it to any other tool through Zapier. It reads from Pliek; it never writes back.
Three outcomes come out of that one event. A reply that does not wait: New Message starts a Zap that emails the person on duty, so a visitor who asked a question gets an answer while they still remember asking. A lead in the CRM: the same trigger can create a contact in your sales tool, so nobody copies form entries by hand. A shared log: each message becomes a row in a spreadsheet the whole team can sort and review.
Now what Zapier does not do with Pliek. There is no action, so a Zap cannot create a notification, change your widget or update anything inside Pliek. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up past messages. The only thing Pliek gives Zapier is the new form message, and the rest of the work has to happen in the apps you connect after it, from your inbox to your CRM.

Zapier words you will meet on this page
Seven terms are enough for everything below. Once explained here, they are used as is.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts a Zap. With Pliek, the only one on offer is a form message sent from your widget.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: a step that writes, sends or moves something for you in another app.
- Task
- What Zapier bills you for: one action your Zap finishes successfully. Your plan sets how many you get.
- Instant trigger
- A trigger the app reports itself, the moment the event happens, so nothing waits for a timed check. Pliek's trigger is one.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and halts it otherwise.
- Multi-step Zap
- A Zap with more than one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What a Pliek Zap costs
Pliek is not a premium app, so it runs on Zapier's free plan. Since Pliek has no action, every task you spend is spent in another app.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Zap length on freeOne trigger and one action
- Premium appNo
- Trigger typeInstant, no plan interval
The trigger costs nothing: a form message arriving from Pliek is never billed. Each action that follows and succeeds counts as one task, and a failed action does not count. Send one email per message and each message costs one task; add a spreadsheet row and it costs two. The free plan stops at two steps, so the second action already needs a paid plan. And because the trigger is instant, the check interval of your plan does not apply to it.
Connect your Pliek account
- 01
Go to Apps
In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Pliek account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that starts from Pliek.
- 02
Find Pliek
Type Pliek in the search box of the dialog, choose it in the results, then click Add connection to start the sign-in. Check that the entry you picked is Pliek before going on.
- 03
Sign in and allow access
Log in to Pliek in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access. You need your own Pliek account, plus access to any widget you do not own yourself and want the Zap to read.
Your first Zap: log each Pliek message and alert the team
GoalEvery form sent from the Pliek widget becomes a spreadsheet row and an email to the person who answers visitors.
- 01
Build: choose the trigger
Create a Zap, pick Pliek as the app and New Message as the event, then select your Pliek connection. There is nothing else to set on this trigger.
- 02
Test with a real message
Run the test: Zapier brings back the three most recent form messages of the account. If the widget has none yet, send one yourself from your site first.
- 03
Add the spreadsheet row
Add a Google Sheets step and map each part of the message into its own column, so the team can sort and filter entries later.
- 04
Add the email alert
Add a Gmail step addressed to whoever replies to visitors. With two actions this is a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan; on free, keep one of the two.
- 05
Test and publish
Test each step, read what came back, then click Publish. The Zap is on, and the next form sent from the widget runs it.
The Pliek trigger
1 event starts a Zap when something happens in Pliek, and one of them is instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Message
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a user submits a form from your widget.”
Starts the Zap each time a visitor fills in and sends the form inside your Pliek widget. It is the only door from Pliek into Zapier, so every Pliek Zap you build begins here, and what happens next is up to the apps you add.
When a Pliek Zap breaks
Zapier links no help article to Pliek and the source lists no limit of its own, so the failures below are the general ones, read for this app.
With a single instant trigger and no action, the weak points sit at the edges: before the Zap goes live, and in the apps that follow. If a run goes wrong, check Zapier troubleshooting.
Old messages never arrive
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Forms your widget received earlier stay in Pliek and need a separate export.A flood of messages is held back
If a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch at once, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back rather than run every item.No loop on the Pliek side
A Zap that writes where its trigger watches sets itself off again. Pliek has no action, so this risk only exists in the other apps you chain.A failed action is free, not fixed
An action that fails costs no task, but the message it carried never reaches that app. Test each step again after any change.
