Zapier connects the apps you use every day and provides an easy way to automate your marketing. If Drip doesn’t integrate with an app you're using, there's a good chance that you'll find a connection through Zapier and the hundreds of integrations in their library.
How the Integration Works
When you connect Drip and Zapier together, you can send data to Drip when an event-based trigger is fired by another application. Once Drip processes that information, you can create or update people, send campaigns, record events, and apply or remove tags. Zapier can also be used to send data from Drip to another service. You can view an entire list of Zapier's supported Drip triggers and actions on their website.
Zapier webhooks do not appear on the Webhook Settings page. When you add a Zapier webhook, you will see a message that says "Zapier webhooks can only be modified from your Zapier account." Delete a Zapier webhook by turning it off/ disabling it from your Zapier account.

Set Up a Zap
Use Drip as the trigger or action steps in your zaps. When Drip is used as the trigger, data is sent from Drip to whichever service you have selected as the action. If Drip is set up as the action step, data gets sent from the trigger app to Drip and something will automate, such as creating/updating a person or sending in an event.
Use Drip as the Trigger for a Zap
In this example, we’ll walk through how to select Drip as the trigger with the New Subscriber Tag trigger event.
-
Log into your Zapier account
-
Click Make a Zap!
-
Select Drip as the app
-
Under Choose Trigger Event, select New Subscriber Tag
-
Click Continue
-
Select your Drip subscription from the drop-down
-
Click Continue
-
If you have multiple Drip accounts under your subscription, you’ll be prompted to select which Drip account to trigger the zap from. Select the Drip account you’d like to trigger the zap from under Customize Subscriber Tag and click Continue
You will be prompted to Find Data and pull in samples from Drip to Zapier.
Add a Filter to your Zap
This step is important if you want to specify which tag to trigger the zap off of. To specify a tag to trigger the zap, add a filter in place in your Zap. To add a filter to your zap:
-
Within your zap click +
-
Select Filter
-
Select Tags > Exactly Matches > your tag name
-
Click Continue
Now that the filter is set up for a specific tag, you’re ready to test your zap.
Test a Zap
When Zapier tests the action step where Drip is configured, it attempts to access your Drip account and retrieve a sample based on the Set Up Template step of the Zap configuration. If the data is not present in your Drip account, the test will fail.
When you run your test in Zapier, you must apply the specific tag to someone while the test is running. In order to do this:
-
Create a test person in your Drip account (this can be your own email address)
-
Open up your test person in Drip and get ready to apply a tag on their Profile
-
Once you are ready to apply the tag click “Connect to Drip in Zapier”
-
While the test is running, apply the tag in Drip
You will see the "Test successful!" notification in Zapier, click "View your subscriber tag" to be sure that Zapier found your test person, not another person in your account. When the test is successful and complete, click Done Editing and complete your zap set up.
You may have to try the test a couple of times for Zapier to recognize the action during the test. It is a time-sensitive action, so be sure to do this while Zapier is running the test (you'll see a note in Zapier like "Looking for subscriber tag, this might take a sec...").
