Zapier

Enrich any Zap with creator search, creator records, posts, lookalikes, and campaign-fit scoring.

The Influship Zapier integration adds 4 Actions and 2 Searches you can drop into any Zap. It doesn’t ship Triggers — your Zap is started by something you already track (a new message, a spreadsheet row, a form submission, or an inbound email), and Influship runs as a step inside that Zap to enrich, score, or search.

The integration is in Private Beta. Email [e-mail] with the Zapier account you want invited.

Connect your account

1. Add an Influship step to a Zap

   In the Zap editor, search for Influship in the action picker and add the action you want.

2. Connect

   Click Connect on the Influship step. A modal asks for your API key.

3. Paste your API key

   Get your key from the developer dashboard. Keys start with inf_. Paste it, then click Yes, Continue.

4. Done

   Zapier validates the key without billing a data lookup, then saves the connection with a short account identifier. Your API key is never included in the displayed label.

Capabilities

Searches

Find Creator returns the best match for a brief and can feed creator-ID fields in later steps. Get Creator by ID returns at most one.

Search	What it does	Cost
Find Creator	Returns the best match for a brief	25 + 2 when matched
Get Creator by ID	Hydrate a creator (with profiles) from a stored ID	0.1

Actions

Action	What it does	Cost
Search Creators (Multiple Results)	AI search returning up to 50 creators with score + reasons	25 + 2/result
Get Posts	Fetch a creator’s recent posts	0.05/post
Find Lookalike Creators	Given a seed, find similar creators	1.5/result
Score Creator Match	Score a single creator against a campaign brief	1

All costs are in credits. 1 credit = $0.01.

Build your first Zap

Three concrete workflows, all started by Zaps you may already have.

Recipe 1 — Hydrate a saved creator shortlist

You save Influship creator IDs during research; this Zap keeps the corresponding creator records current in your working sheet.

1. Trigger: New Spreadsheet Row (Google Sheets)

   Watch a sheet with a creator_id column.

2. Search: Get Creator by ID (Influship)

   Map the saved ID into Creator ID. The result includes the creator record and its known profiles.

3. Action: Update Spreadsheet Row (Google Sheets)

   Write the creator name, summary, themes, and profile fields you need back into the same row.

Per-row cost: 0.1 credits = $0.001. Hydrating 1,000 saved creators costs about a dollar.

Recipe 2 — Score inbound creator pitches

When a creator emails you, score them against your campaign brief and route the strong matches into a “Worth a meeting” board.

1. Trigger: New Email Matching Search (Gmail)

   Filter inbound mail to your creator-outreach inbox.

2. Search: Find Creator (Influship)

   Use the creator’s name, niche, and other details from the email as a short search brief. The search returns the best matching creator record.

3. Action: Score Creator Match (Influship)

   Score the creator against a stored campaign brief. The action returns match.decision (good, neutral, or avoid) and match.score from 0–1.

4. Filter + Action: Create Card (Trello / Linear / Asana)

   Only create the card when match.decision = good. Add match.score and match.reasons to the card body.

Typical per-pitch cost: 28 credits ($0.28).

Recipe 3 — On-demand shortlist via Slack command

Marketing types a brief in Slack; a Notion database fills with ranked candidates.

1. Trigger: New Slash Command (Slack)

   Set up /find-creators <brief> in your workspace.

2. Action: Search Creators (Multiple Results)

   Pass the slash-command text as the Search Query, set Number of Results to 10.

3. Action: Create Database Item (Notion) — Loop

   Loop over the results line items so each creator becomes its own Notion row with score, reasons, and the primary profile.

4. Action: Reply Ephemeral (Slack)

   Acknowledge in Slack with a link to the Notion view.

Per-search cost: 25 + (2 × 10) = 45 credits ($0.45).

Cost expectations

A rough sense of monthly spend, assuming typical agency volume:

Workflow	Per-event cost	At 100/day	At 1,000/day
Creator hydration	$0.001	$3	$30
Pitch discovery + scoring	$0.28	$840	$8,400
On-demand search	$0.45	$1,350	$13,500

The search and match actions dominate cost — they’re the AI-heavy paths. Hydrating a saved creator record is inexpensive.

Troubleshooting

"Your Influship API key is invalid or has been revoked"

Your key was revoked or rotated. Get a fresh one from the developer dashboard and reconnect — in Zapier, go to My Connections → Influship → Reconnect.

"Influship rate limit hit. Zapier will retry automatically."

Your account hit its per-minute rate limit. Zapier reads Retry-After from the response and waits before retrying — no action needed. If you’re hitting limits regularly, contact [e-mail] to discuss raising them.

"Influship live data is temporarily unavailable. Zapier will retry automatically."

A live data request was temporarily unavailable. Zapier reads Retry-After from the response and retries automatically. This is different from your Influship account rate limit.

"Your Influship account needs a payment method"

Metered usage requires a payment method on file. Update it in developer billing — the Zap resumes the next time it fires.

Why isn't there a 'New Post by Creator' trigger?

Influship doesn’t have real-time post events to emit. The integration is intentionally enrichment-only — your Zap is started by something you track (a source-app webhook, spreadsheet row, form submission, etc.) and Influship runs as an enrichment step inside it. Faking a trigger that fires when we happen to discover a post hours later would create confused Zaps that “missed” real events.

Can I write back to Influship?

No. The API is read-only — every operation here is GET or query-style POST. Influship doesn’t store your data; it returns what we know about creators.
