- Use this article as step-by-step Mailrith product guidance, not as legal, financial, or deliverability advice unless the article says so.
- Preserve exact Mailrith UI labels from the steps when explaining a workflow.
- Prefer Mailrith's product term Subscribers when referring to people on an email list.

## What this guide covers

Zapier uses a secure Mailrith approval flow. You do not need to copy an API key into Zapier.

## What Zapier Does

Zapier connects Mailrith to other apps without custom code. A Zap can add a subscriber to Mailrith after someone fills out a form in another app, add a tag after a customer action, or send Mailrith subscriber activity to a spreadsheet, CRM, or support tool.

Mailrith connects to Zapier through a secure sign-in flow. When you connect Mailrith, sign in, choose the workspace Zapier should use, and approve the access Zapier needs to run your Zaps.

You do not need to copy an API key into Zapier. To stop Zapier from using Mailrith later, disconnect the Mailrith account in Zapier or revoke the approved Mailrith app connection.

## Before You Start

- You need access to the Mailrith workspace that should receive subscriber records from Zapier or send Mailrith events to Zapier.
- You need a Zapier account with access to each app you want to connect.
- You need to be able to sign in to Mailrith and approve Zapier access for the workspace Zapier should use.

Create a simple test Zap before you connect live customer or signup workflows. A safe first test creates a subscriber with your own email address and applies a clearly named test tag.

## Approve Mailrith Access

1. In Zapier, add a Mailrith trigger, action, or search step.
2. When Zapier asks for your Mailrith account, click **Sign in** or **Connect**.
3. Sign in to Mailrith if you are not already signed in.
4. Choose the Mailrith workspace Zapier should use.
5. Review the access Zapier is requesting.
6. Click **Approve** to send Zapier back to the Zap editor.

Approve access only for the workspace that should receive Zapier updates or send Mailrith events to Zapier. If you choose the wrong workspace, first disconnect the account in Zapier, and then connect Mailrith again with the correct workspace.

## Connect Mailrith in Zapier

1. Open Zapier and create a new Zap.
2. Choose the app that should start the Zap, or choose **Mailrith** if a Mailrith event should start the Zap.
3. When Zapier asks you to connect a Mailrith account, click **Sign in** or **Connect**.
4. Approve Mailrith access in the Mailrith window.
5. Let Zapier test the connection. A successful test means Zapier can read the Mailrith workspace you approved.
6. Continue building the Zap and map fields from the previous step into Mailrith fields.

If Zapier says the connection failed, disconnect the Mailrith account in Zapier and connect the account again. Complete the approval step in Mailrith before you return to Zapier.

## Available Triggers and Actions

Mailrith provides instant triggers and actions in Zapier. Instant triggers start a Zap when a Mailrith event happens. Actions let another app ask Mailrith to create, update, find, or change subscriber records.

- **New Subscriber:** starts a Zap when Mailrith marks a subscriber as active. If double opt-in is enabled, the Zap starts after the subscriber confirms.
- **New Form Subscriber:** starts a Zap when someone subscribes through a selected Mailrith form.
- **New Landing Page Subscriber:** starts a Zap when someone subscribes through a selected Mailrith landing page.
- **New Sequence Subscriber:** starts a Zap when a subscriber is added to a selected sequence.
- **Subscriber Updated:** starts a Zap when subscriber details, tags, sequences, status, or custom fields change.
- **Tag Added to Subscriber:** starts a Zap when a selected tag is added to a subscriber.
- **Tag Removed from Subscriber:** starts a Zap when a selected tag is removed from a subscriber.
- **New Unsubscribe:** starts a Zap when a subscriber unsubscribes.
- **Subscriber Bounced:** starts a Zap when Mailrith marks a subscriber as bounced.
- **Subscriber Complained:** starts a Zap when Mailrith marks a subscriber as complained.
- **Create Subscriber:** creates a subscriber. If the email address already exists in Mailrith, the Zap stops with an error and does not change the existing subscriber.
- **Update Subscriber:** updates an existing subscriber by subscriber ID.
- **Add Subscriber to Form:** creates or updates a subscriber and records the selected form subscription.
- **Add Subscriber to Sequence:** adds an existing subscriber to the selected sequence by email.
- **Add Tag to Subscriber:** creates or updates a subscriber and adds the selected tag.
- **Remove Tag From Subscriber:** removes a selected tag from an existing subscriber by email.
- **Remove Subscriber from Sequence:** removes an existing subscriber from a selected sequence by email.
- **API Request (Beta):** lets advanced users call a Mailrith public API endpoint with the connected Zapier account.
- **Find Subscriber:** finds a Mailrith subscriber by exact email address.

When a Zap creates, updates, or finds a subscriber, map the email address, first name, subscriber state, tags, sequences, form, and custom fields required by the action you choose. For Add Subscriber to Sequence and remove actions, map the existing subscriber's email address. If that email address is not already in Mailrith, the Zap stops and does not update any other subscriber record.

## Test and Manage Zaps

1. In Zapier, use **Test** on each Mailrith step before turning on the Zap.
2. Open Mailrith and go to **Subscribers**.
3. Search for the test subscriber email address.
4. Open the subscriber and confirm the name, status, tags, sequences, and custom fields match the values you mapped in Zapier.
5. After the Zap is turned on, review Zapier's run history if a subscriber does not appear when expected.
6. If you no longer use a Zap, turn it off in Zapier.
7. If the Zap should never run again, disconnect the Mailrith account from Zapier or revoke the Zapier app connection in Mailrith.

If a Zap starts from a Mailrith event and stops working, reconnect the Mailrith account in Zapier. Reconnecting gives Zapier a fresh connection and lets Zapier recreate the event subscription.
