Make sure you have an Adalo Account & are logged in.
Make sure you have a Zapier Account & are logged in.
The Adalo <> Zapier connection works for all Adalo & Zapier Subscriptions - even free!
Connections triggered outside of Adalo require use of the Adalo API Key which is available on the Team and Business plans.
You have your Adalo app & automation idea!
In Zapier, every integration you make is called a Zap. Every Zap has two parts -- a Trigger and an Action.
Trigger is the condition on which the task will be performed.
Action is the task performed when condition is fulfilled.
You can set your Adalo App to be the Trigger of the action.
This means that whenever a change happens to a collection in your Adalo App, it will trigger something to happen on another platform. For example, you could create a Zap where every time a new User record is added to your User collection (a new user signs up!), an email is sent to the new user welcoming them to the app.
Zapier can use the information in your trigger (properties in your collection) or general information like date & time to populate your connected application.
There are two triggers that you can use from your Adalo App:
New Record is Created in a Collection in your Adalo app
Record is Updated in a Collection in your Adalo app
To reach your Zapier account directly from within Adalo, you can add a new integration at any stage using component or screen actions:
Clicking on any one of the services (platforms or apps you want to connect your Adalo app to) will open a list of templates you can use to automate simple tasks in your business. You can use these templates or start one from scratch!
Once you click on the same, you will be redirected to a new tab within Zapier. If you are not logged in, Zapier will need you to log in or create an account.
Be sure to name your Zap to avoid losing in the list of all the fun Zaps you'll create!
You can also set your Adalo app to be the action.
So, in the reverse of the above example, you can specify that when an action happens, Zapier can automatically create or update a record in your Adalo app, and the record's properties can be populated by information from the previous trigger. You can also have the action be to update an Adalo record rather than create a new one!
You can use Zapier to connect your Adalo apps with over 5,000 other services and platforms like Slack, Google Sheets, Sendgrid, Twilio, Airtable, Hubspot, Twitter, Gmail, Instagram, and WordPress. The list of possible integrations can be found at .
Simple Zaps are not triggered by the Action taken on a screen/button -- they are triggered by the changes that happen to your database (your Adalo collection). See more in
You can follow to set up your automation Zap, including selecting the Adalo Account, Adalo App & Adalo Collection which will be the trigger for your automation.
You can subsequently use the properties added to Adalo in your app to perform any actions within Adalo! You can even trigger a to use this record to create or update another Zap. The possibilities are endless!
Zapier can be used on all pricing plans (even free!). Learn more at
