Why should I use EasyCSV with Zapier?

EasyCSV enables two great functions with Zapier. EasyCSV enables you to send spreadsheet data to any app Zapier supports. EasyCSV is also the only app that enables you to create CSV files you can use in your Zap, email the file as an attachment, or upload it via SFTP.

See example Zaps to get an idea of what is possible: EasyCSV Zap Examples

How can I have multiple EasyCSV import pages or email addresses sending data to multiple zaps?

1. Create all your EasyCSV import pages and have them all set to send data to Zapier when importing.
2. In Zapier, you will create one or more Zaps per import page.
3. When you create a zap, choose EasyCSV as the first step of you zap.
4. When you get an example row, you need to check the field "spreadsheet name" to match the import page name. If you get a row for a different import page, just click the button to get another example row in Zapier. You may have to try a couple time.
5. Once you get the right example row data then finish editing the first step, trigger of the Zap.
6. Click the little circle with a plus symbol in-between the Trigger and the destination of the zap to add another step to you zap in the middle.
7. Choose to add a filter. We will use a filter step to only let new row data from a specific EasyCSV import page through to the later steps of your Zap. Your task count will only be affected if your full zap runs. That is why filters are so nice!
8. In the filter, choose "spreadsheet name" - "exactly matches" and then type the name of your import page exactly.
9. Finish your zap by setting the data destination app and mapping the EasyCSV fields to the final app or api fields you want to send your data to.
10. Turn your Zap live.
11. Try an import on your import page the zap(s) has been set up for.
12. Repeat all these steps for as many import pages as you need. You can have multiple zaps fire for any import page.

I am using Zapier to send CSV import data to my webhook. How does Zapier send data to my webhook?

In your EasyCSV import page sheet details, if you have chosen the option "Each row being imported should trigger a Zap execution", Zapier will be triggered for every row/record of a spreadsheets that is being imorted. Therefore, your webhook will be hit for every row/record of a spreadsheet. (Make sure your webhook can handle a high-volume of requests in case a user imports a large spreadsheet consisting of many rows)

In your EasyCSV import page sheet details, if you have chosen the option "Create a new CSV file with all import data and trigger a Zap execution with the new file", Zapier will be triggered once for each import with a url to a CSV file.

Why is Zapier limited to 1500 rows per import when I want each row to trigger a Zap execution? How can I post more to rows/data?

Why the limit?

If EasyCSV enabled you to upload more than 1500 records per import you would encounter the Zapier rate limiting system – you can read more about it on Zapier's page. Even at 1500 records per import you may encounter rate limiting if you attempt to do many 1500 record imports.

IMPORTANT Zapier's default Flood Protection limit for a Zap is ONLY 100 records in a short period of time. Zapier now let's you customize your Flood Protection limit on a per Zap Basic. Allowing up to 1500 records to be submitted without hitting the limit: Customize your Flood Protection Limit. If your files will have more than 1500 records per file, then use the Webhooks by Zapier option detailed below.

Let's say EasyCSV enabled uploading of more than 1500 records per import, trying to process more than 1500 records at a time means Zapier would hold the 1501+ tasks and email the Zapier account owner asking for their approval to process them. Once granted, Zapier will process the tasks at the rate of 1 per second. This is known as Zapier's Flood Protection.

At the speed of 1 second of processing per row, then uploading such a large number of items might not be a great fit – this is because processing 9,000 records would take about 2 hours to run.

How can I submit all the rows from my CSV to Zapier?

There are 4 good options to process more records per CSV imported:

Recommended Solution Walkthrough - Import up to 10,000 rows into Zapier:

1. Most Popular & Recommended: Instead of using EasyCSV as the first trigger step of your Zap, use "Webhooks by Zapier" > "Catch Hook".
   1. You will then get a Custom Webhook URL in Zapier. Copy that URL.
   2. Go back to your EasyCSV import page and change the destination to be "Post imports to an API / Webhook" instead of sending to "Zapier".
   3. Paste the URL you get from Zapier in the text field for the API Webhook URL in EasyCSV.
   4. Click the checkbox on EasyCSV labeled "Post multiple records at once in bulk chunks" and bump it up to a number you like - maybe go with 1,000 to start. Zapier can accept up to 10,000 POST calls every 5 minutes.
   5. Save the EasyCSV form.
   6. Back in Zapier, click continue to get to the "Test Trigger" step. Zapier now wants you to send some example data.
   7. Now go back to your EasyCSV import page and select the file you wish to import and click to send it to Zapier.
   8. Back in Zapier click the "Test Trigger" button and you should see an example row of data you can use in the rest of your Zap.
2. Email Zapier support and ask for a higher limit. Many customers, especially if you are on the pay-as-you-go Zapier plan, get the Zapier support team up the limit. If you get it successfully put to the limit you need just chat EasyCSV from your import page or email support@easycsv.io and EasyCSV can also up your limit.
3. Post your imports to Google Sheets first (EasyCSV docs to post data to Google Sheets), then set up a Zapier Zap to be triggered when new rows are added to the Google Sheet. Zapier will process every new row that was added from EasyCSV over time. Zapier has built that process to get around their flood protection.
4. Look for any API docs for the application that your Zap is sending the data to. You can try following the docs and use the option in EasyCSV to post data to a Webhook. If you need help going directly to an app, instead of through Zapier, please contact EasyCSV support and we can help you connect it.
