Connect respond.io to Zapier and unlock the possibilities of 5000+ integrations.

You can integrate your Contact information from the respond.io platform to thousands of CRMs, email providers, CMS, analytics tools, ads, and more. Let's have a quick look at this integration.

![](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/2eSGh4vAEcgH2WQncz5GLw/11d3d3bb62b73fc6a39f2813141ba8f3/zapier-logo.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640)

## Getting Started

In order to get started with the respond.io - Zapier Integration, you will need the following:

* A respond.io account
* A Zapier account

> For most Zaps, you’ll need to use a contact identifier, either email or phone number. If you don't have a record of a Contact’s email or phone number in respond.io, you may not be able to complete a Zap.

## Creating Zaps

There are two ways you can create Zaps:

* [Create a Zap from template](https://respond.io/help/integrations/zapier#create%5Fa%5Fzap%5Ffrom%5Ftemplate)
* [Create a Zap from scratch](https://respond.io/help/integrations/zapier#create%5Fa%5Fzap%5Ffrom%5Fscratch)

### Create a Zap from Template

Templates are pre-built Zaps. We have templates available connecting respond.io to popular CRM and e-commerce platforms. To use a Zap template, choose from the list of [respond.io templates here](https://zapier.com/apps/respondio/integrations#zap-template-list) and click **Try It**.

## **Connect respond.io to Zapier**

When connecting respond.io app in Zapier for the first time, you are required to sign in and add an API Key. You can obtain the API Key in respond.io’s platform settings as shown in the steps below.

### Step 1: Navigate to Integrations Zapier Page

Log in to the respond.io Workspace you wish to connect and navigate to the **Settings** module > **Integrations** under the Workspace Settings > Click **Connect** next to Zapier. You will be navigated to the Zapier page in respond.io.

### Step 2: Obtain the API Key

### Step 3: Connect your respond.io Account

> You will only need to do this for your first Zap with respond.io. For all following Zaps, you can simply choose your connected account from the dropdown in the Zap setup.

## FAQ and Troubleshooting

### Why do I get the Too Many Requests (HTTP Status → 429) error?

Your Zap or other integration with the Bearer Token is likely asking for or sending information to the app too frequently within a given timeframe.

### Why do I get the Validation (HTTP Status → 400) error?

You will encounter this error if you have provided more than the allowed pagination limit. The limit per page is 100.

### What causes a Zap Loop?

A popular use case for integrations is syncing Contacts. However, Zapier does not support syncing by default and attempting to do this may cause an endless loop.

_Example:_

**Zap 1:** When a Contact is created in respond.io, create a Contact in X app.

**Zap 2:** When a Contact is created in X app, create a Contact in respond.io.

Find the [solution for this here](https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496232045453#1-update-a-field-in-both-zaps-0-0).

### What to do if my Contact Identifiers are Incompatible?

Certain apps that you may want to integrate with (e.g., HubSpot and Shopify) require an email address or phone number to identify a Contact. You may not have these for all your respond.io Contacts if they’re on channels that do not provide them such as Viber, Telegram or Facebook Messenger.

If you do not have the required email address or phone number, the Zap will not work. Set up a [filter](https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help) to avoid getting error messages. Alternatively, consider [using Workflows](https://respond.io/help/support-use-case/identify-contacts-by-email-and-phone-number) to collect Contacts’ email addresses or phone numbers.

### Will Zapier's messages open a Contact's conversation?

All messages that are sent via Zapier will not open a Contact's conversation. These messages are available in the closed Contact filter. Simply [adjust the filter in the Messages module](https://respond.io/help/messages/messages-overview#contact%5Fsearch%5Fsort%5Ffilter) to view the messages sent via Zapier.
