Overview

What the Wealthbox CRM Zapier integration does

Wealthbox is a web-based CRM built for financial advisors to manage client relationships. Connected to Zapier, it lets client work move on its own: a new contact, opportunity or completed task starts an automation, and Zapier can write back contacts, households, tasks, notes, events, projects or workflows.

Three results advisory practices tend to build first. Onboarding that starts itself: New Contact runs Start Workflow on your onboarding template, so no new client waits for someone to remember the checklist. Follow-ups that never slip: New Opportunity or Task Complete feeds Create Task, and the next step of the plan is always on someone's list. Households kept tidy: Find Contact, with its find-or-create option, then Add Member to Household attach a spouse or child to the right family record.

All 11 Wealthbox triggers are instant. Wealthbox warns Zapier itself, so the polling interval of your plan never delays them, even on a free account.

What Zapier does not do here: it does not delete anything in Wealthbox, it cannot update an opportunity, a task or an event once created, and it does not pick up records that existed before the Zap was switched on. Searching is limited to contacts.

To compare with another platform, see the Wealthbox CRM Make integration page.

Vocabulary

Zapier words you will meet on this page

Eight terms, each in plain English, so the editor reads without guesswork.

Zap
The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time that event happens.
Trigger
The event that starts the Zap. With Wealthbox, a record being created, such as a contact, a task or a note.
Action
What the Zap does once started: the step that creates or updates a contact, task, note or other record for you.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One action completed successfully is one task; do not confuse it with a Wealthbox task.
Instant trigger
A trigger the app reports itself, through a webhook, the moment the event happens. All Wealthbox triggers are instant.
Polling trigger
A trigger Zapier checks on a timer, at an interval set by your plan. Wealthbox has none on Zapier.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition. It makes the Zap multi-step, so paid.
Search step
A step that looks up a record that already exists, so the next steps can use it. Here: Find Contact.
Cost

What a Wealthbox Zap really costs

Wealthbox CRM is not a premium app on Zapier, so it runs on the free plan. You pay in Zapier tasks, not in triggers.

  • Premium appNo, available on the free plan
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Wealthbox triggers11 instant, 0 polling
  • What countsEach successful action, never the trigger

The trigger never costs anything. Each action that succeeds is one task, and a failed one is not billed, so a Zap that creates a task and a note per new contact uses two tasks per contact. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and Zaps of two steps only: one trigger, one action. A filter, a second action or a Find Contact step makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The grid below concerns polling triggers only; it never slows a Wealthbox trigger, but it applies if another app starts the Zap.

Connect

Connect Wealthbox CRM to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the Apps page

    In your Zapier account, open Apps and click + Add connection. A connection is your Wealthbox account linked once, then reused by every Zap that touches the CRM.

  2. 02

    Pick Wealthbox CRM

    Search for Wealthbox CRM in the dialog, select it and click Add connection. You need an existing Wealthbox account, since the next step asks you to sign in.

  3. 03

    Sign in and grant access

    Sign in to Wealthbox in the tab that opens and allow Zapier to use the account. To act on contacts or projects owned by colleagues, your user needs access to them in Wealthbox.

First Zap

Your first Wealthbox Zap: onboard every new client

GoalWhen a contact is created in Wealthbox, create a welcome-call task, then start the onboarding workflow on that contact.

  1. 01

    Build: pick New Contact

    Click Build, choose Wealthbox CRM and the event New Contact, then select the Wealthbox connection you set up in the previous section, so every step uses the same account.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Click Test. Zapier brings back the three most recent contacts of the account, so you map the next steps on a real record.

  3. 03

    Add Create Task

    Add Create Task. Fill the three required fields: a name such as Welcome call, a due date, and an assignment type, all three taken from the step itself or mapped from the trigger.

  4. 04

    Add Start Workflow

    Add Start Workflow, pick your onboarding template, set Linked to Type to contact and map the contact Id from the trigger into Linked to Id, never the name.

  5. 05

    Test and Publish

    Run each step with Test, check the contact in Wealthbox, then click Publish. With two actions, this Zap is multi-step and needs a paid plan.

Triggers

The 11 Wealthbox CRM triggers

11 events start a Zap when something happens in Wealthbox CRM, and 11 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.

1

New Comment

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new comment is created.”

Starts the Zap whenever someone adds a comment in Wealthbox. It is the quickest way to get team conversations out of the CRM and into the tools where people actually react.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
your paraplanner comments on a client file and the lead advisor should get a task to answer, rather than spotting the remark days later.
Watch out
comments can be frequent in a busy team; every action they start is billed, so keep the Zap for comments that need a reaction.
2

New Contact

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new contact is created.”

Fires as soon as a new contact is created in Wealthbox. Your Zap receives the new record at once.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
a prospect becomes a contact and you want a welcome task, an onboarding workflow or a note template created without anyone typing.
Watch out
a Zap that listens to New Contact and also runs Create Contact on the same account can set itself off repeatedly.
3

Contact Updated

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an existing contact is updated (only available for Premier and Enterprise Wealthbox plans)”

Reacts when an existing contact changes in Wealthbox. It is the only trigger of this app that watches changes to an existing contact.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
a client's details change and another system, or a task for the assistant, has to follow that change.
Watch out
it is only available on the Premier and Enterprise Wealthbox plans; on other plans it will not work, and an Update Contact step on the same contacts can loop.
4

New Event

Instant trigger

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

Runs when an event is created in the Wealthbox calendar, such as a client meeting or a review. The Zap starts with that event's details.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
every booked review meeting should create a preparation task for the person who assembles the client pack.
Watch out
only events created after the Zap is published are sent; meetings already in the calendar are never picked up.
5

New Note

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new note is created.”

Kicks in each time a note is saved in Wealthbox, typically after a call or a meeting with a client.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
notes from client calls should leave a trace elsewhere, for example a follow-up task when a meeting note is logged.
Watch out
Create Note in a Zap that listens to New Note on the same account can trigger itself again and again.
6

New Opportunity

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new opportunity is created.”

Tells your Zap that a new opportunity exists in Wealthbox, for instance a rollover or a new account being discussed.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
each new opportunity should get a task for the next step, so pipeline work never depends on memory.
Watch out
Zapier offers no action to update an opportunity, so plan the follow-up as new tasks or notes rather than edits.
7

New Project

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new project is created.”

Fires when a project is created in Wealthbox, a natural container for longer client work such as an estate review.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
opening a project should schedule a kickoff event and the first tasks, without the team rebuilding the same list each time.
Watch out
a Zap that runs Create Project while listening to New Project can loop and burn tasks.
8

Task Complete

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a Task has been completed. Non-repeating tasks only.”

Reacts when a task is marked complete in Wealthbox, so one finished step can open the next one.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
when the advisor ticks off a signed form, a note should be logged and the operations team should get its own task.
Watch out
it only works for non-repeating tasks; a recurring task being completed will not start the Zap.
9

New Task

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new task is created.”

Reports each new task created in Wealthbox, so the to-do can travel beyond the CRM.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
tasks assigned in the CRM should also land in a team channel or a calendar, so nobody needs to keep Wealthbox open all day.
Watch out
Create Task inside a Zap that listens to New Task on the same account sets the Zap off again for each task it creates.
10

New Workflow

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when a new workflow is created.”

Runs when a new workflow is created in Wealthbox, the start of a structured process on a client file.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
you want a record outside Wealthbox each time an onboarding or annual review workflow begins.
Watch out
a Zap that runs Start Workflow while listening to New Workflow on the same account can set itself off again and burn tasks.
11

Workflow Step Complete

Instant trigger

In Zapier“Triggers when an existing workflow step is completed.”

Each completed step of an existing workflow sets this one off, the finest-grained signal this integration gives on a process.

How it fires
the app tells Zapier the moment it happens, so the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan.
When to use it
finishing the paperwork step of onboarding should notify the person who opens accounts, at the exact moment it happens.
Watch out
every completed step of every workflow starts a run, so long workflows can consume more tasks than expected.
Actions

The 10 Wealthbox CRM actions

Wealthbox CRM gives you 10 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Add Member to Household

Action

In Zapier“Adds a new family member to a household.”

Attaches a contact to an existing household, with a title for that member. Household, Member and Title are all required.

When to use it
a spouse or an adult child becomes a contact and belongs to a household you already track.
Watch out
pick the household from the list, or map one created in an earlier step as a custom value.
2

Create Contact

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new contact.”

Adds a contact to Wealthbox, with optional primary phone, email, street address and website.

When to use it
a web form or a scheduling tool captures a prospect who should exist in the CRM straight away.
Watch out
it creates a new record every time; to avoid duplicates, use Find Contact with its find-or-create option instead.
3

Create Event

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new event.”

Places an event in the Wealthbox calendar, with a title, a start and an end, or as an all-day event.

When to use it
a meeting booked in an external scheduler should also appear in Wealthbox for the whole team.
Watch out
Starts At and Ends At are both required; map them from the same source to avoid an event that ends before it starts.
4

Create Note

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new note.”

Saves a note in Wealthbox; Content is the only required field.

When to use it
a call summary, a form answer or an email from another tool should be kept in the client's history.
Watch out
if the note is meant for a specific client, check in the test that it lands on the right record.
5

Create Opportunity

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new opportunity.”

Opens an opportunity in your pipeline. Name, Target Close Date, Probability and Opportunity Stage are all required.

When to use it
a qualified lead from another tool should become a pipeline entry with a target date.
Watch out
all four fields are required, so a lead without a probability or a target date makes the step fail.
6

Create Project

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new project.”

Creates a project in Wealthbox, with a required name and a required description.

When to use it
a signed engagement in another tool should open a project that holds the work to come.
Watch out
the description is mandatory, so map or type something meaningful rather than leaving the step to fail.
7

Create Task

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new task.”

Puts a task on someone's list in Wealthbox. Name, Due Date and Assignment Type are required; you can also create it already complete.

When to use it
any client event, inside or outside the CRM, should end up as a concrete to-do with a deadline.
Watch out
Zapier cannot edit a task later, so get the due date right in this step.
8

Create Household

Action

In Zapier“Creates a new household.”

Builds a household record that groups the members of a family. Name and Type are required, the primary email is optional.

When to use it
a couple signs up together and you want their household ready before the first meeting.
Watch out
the household starts empty; add people with Add Member to Household.
9

Start Workflow

Action

In Zapier“Start a new workflow for a contact, project, or opportunity — based on a workflow template you have created in Wealthbox.”

Launches a workflow on a contact, project or opportunity, based on a template you built in Wealthbox.

When to use it
a new client should enter your onboarding process the moment the contact exists.
Watch out
Linked to Id expects the Id of the contact, opportunity or project, not its name.
10

Update Contact

Action

In Zapier“Updates an existing contact.”

Changes an existing contact, identified by its Contact ID, and can overwrite the primary phone, email, address or website.

When to use it
a client reports a new email in another system and Wealthbox should follow without retyping.
Watch out
the Contact ID is required; put a Find Contact step before it to get that ID.
Searches

The Wealthbox CRM search

1 search step looks for data that already exists in Wealthbox CRM, so a later step can use it.

A search step finds a record that already exists and hands it to the next steps. Wealthbox offers one, for contacts. You will find it at the bottom of the Action event list, under SEARCH. Three settings decide what happens when the result is not the expected one.

1

Find Contact

SearchFind or create

In Zapier“Find a contact.”

Looks up a contact that already exists in Wealthbox and passes it to the following steps, which is how Update Contact or Add Member to Household get the record they need.

When to use it
a form or a booking tool sends you a client and you need the matching Wealthbox contact before writing anything.
Watch out
the editor also lists Find or Create a Contact; it is this same search with the create box ticked, not a separate operation.

The three settings every search exposes

  1. Successful if no search results are found?
    Left on its default, a search that finds nothing stops the Zap there and skips the dependent steps. Switched on, the Zap carries on without a contact.
  2. Create X if it doesn't exist yet?
    Here X is the contact you look for. Ticking this box turns the search into Find or Create a Contact: the setting above disappears, and the step asks for the fields needed to create the missing contact.
  3. If multiple search results are found?
    Three ways out when several contacts match: keep the first one (the default), stop the Zap, or pass all of them on at once.
When it breaks

When a Wealthbox Zap breaks

Zapier lists no help article specific to Wealthbox CRM. The failures come from the general way Zaps work and from a few requirements of this app.

Six situations cover what you are most likely to hit. If a run fails and the cause is unclear, the Zapier troubleshooting page walks through the checks, and the Zapier training is there if you want to go further.

  • Older records are ignored

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you publish it. Contacts, tasks or notes created before that never start it; moving them is a separate job.

  • A Zap that triggers itself

    Listening to New Contact while running Create Contact, or Contact Updated with Update Contact, makes each write start the Zap again and eats tasks fast.

  • A flood after an import

    Importing a large list of contacts at once can produce a huge batch of events that Zapier's flood protection holds back instead of running.

  • Contact Updated stays silent

    This trigger only works on the Premier and Enterprise Wealthbox plans. On another plan, build the Zap on a different trigger, such as New Contact.

  • Recurring tasks never fire

    Task Complete only reacts to non-repeating tasks. Completing an occurrence of a recurring task will not start the Zap at all.

  • A name where an Id is expected

    Start Workflow needs the Id in Linked to Id, and Update Contact a Contact ID. A name in those fields makes the step fail; use Find Contact first.

FAQ

Wealthbox CRM Zapier integration: common questions

01Is the Wealthbox CRM Zapier integration free?
Yes, on the Zapier side. Wealthbox CRM is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan, which gives 100 tasks a month and Zaps made of one trigger and one action. A Zap that creates a task for each new contact fits in that limit. As soon as you add a filter, a second action or a Find Contact step, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid Zapier plan. One Wealthbox trigger, Contact Updated, also depends on your Wealthbox plan: it only works on Premier and Enterprise.
02How many tasks does a Wealthbox Zap use?
One Zapier task per action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger. A Zap on New Contact that runs Create Task costs one task per contact; add Start Workflow and it costs two. A failed action is not billed. Keep in mind that a Zapier task, the billing unit, has nothing to do with a Wealthbox task, the to-do in your CRM. Busy triggers such as New Task or Workflow Step Complete can fire often in a large practice, so count how many runs a month you expect before choosing a plan.
03Does the Wealthbox CRM integration work in real time?
Yes. All 11 Wealthbox triggers are instant: Wealthbox itself tells Zapier when a record is created or completed, and the Zap starts right away, whatever your plan. The 15-minute interval of the free plan only applies to polling triggers, which this app does not have on Zapier. In the editor, a Zap built on an instant trigger shows a lightning bolt. The interval only comes back into play if your Zap starts in another app with a polling trigger and then writes into Wealthbox.
04What does it take to connect Wealthbox CRM to Zapier?
An existing Wealthbox account, and access to the records your Zap will touch. The connection takes three moves: open Apps in Zapier and click + Add connection, search for Wealthbox CRM and confirm with Add connection, then sign in to Wealthbox in the new tab and allow access. Before building, prepare what the actions require on the Wealthbox side: workflow templates for Start Workflow and the households you want to fill with Add Member to Household.
05Why does Start Workflow fail on a contact that exists?
Check first that Linked to Id received an Id, not a name. Start Workflow needs three things: a workflow template that already exists in Wealthbox, the type of record it links to (contact, project or opportunity) and the Id of that record. If your Zap starts on New Contact, map the contact Id from the trigger. If it starts elsewhere, for example from a form, put Find Contact before it and map the Id that the search returns. Then check that the template exists: build it in Wealthbox first.
06What if the Wealthbox action you need is not in Zapier?
Then Zapier cannot do it for Wealthbox today. The integration exposes 22 operations: 11 triggers, 10 actions and 1 search. There is no action to delete a record, to update an opportunity, task, event or project, and the only search is for contacts. Check the lists on this page first, since operation names stay in English in the editor. If something is missing, compare with the Wealthbox CRM page for Make on this site, or rework the flow so it creates a new task or note instead of editing an existing record.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Wealthbox CRM?
It depends on your criteria, not on a set winner. Zapier makes sense if your flows fit the 11 instant triggers, 10 actions and contact search listed here, and you want a guided editor with a free plan to start. Look at Make if you need operations Zapier does not expose for Wealthbox, or if your team already builds its automations there. This site has no n8n page for Wealthbox CRM, so check n8n's catalogue directly. The useful test is concrete: write down the exact events and records your process touches, then compare them with each platform's list.
