In this guide you'll learn how to connect your SimplyPrint account to Zapier, use pre-made Zap templates, and build your own automations. || The Zapier integration is included from the Pro plan and up. Prefer to keep your automations on your own server? SimplyPrint also integrates with [n8n](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/the-n8n-integration-automate-simplyprint-with-self-hosted-workflows-6j8b0h/) and [Activepieces](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/the-activepieces-integration-automate-simplyprint-with-open-source-workflows-ujr3py/) - both self-hostable. ## What you can automate With a few clicks you can set up workflows like: - Post a Slack message when a print finishes or fails - Log every completed print to a Google Sheet - Send a customer an email with tracking info when their job ships - Create a Trello card for every new queue item - Push failed prints to a review list in Airtable - Add a print job to your queue when a new order comes in from Shopify or WooCommerce ## Triggers and actions The SimplyPrint app on Zapier ships 50+ triggers and around 60 actions, covering just about everything that happens on your account. **Triggers (when this happens in SimplyPrint)** - **Prints**: print started, completed, failed, cancelled, paused, resumed, bed cleared, objects skipped - **Queue**: item added, approved, denied, pending approval, moved, revived, queue emptied - **Filament**: spool created, updated, deleted, assigned, unassigned - **Printer state and AI**: material or nozzle changed, tags assigned or removed, printer marked out of order, AutoPrint state changed, AI failure detected - **Maintenance and spare parts**: maintenance jobs, schedules, tasks and problems, spare part stock changes and low-stock alerts - **Account**: balance and quota events, new user signups **Actions (do this in SimplyPrint)** - Start a print on one or more printers - Add, update, move, approve or deny queue items - Upload files and organize folders - Assign filament or tags to printers - Pause, resume or cancel a print, or send a printer command - Set custom field values - Search actions to look up printers, files, filaments, queue items, print jobs and statistics Triggers are delivered through webhooks that Zapier registers on your SimplyPrint account automatically. These integration-created webhooks work on any plan that includes the integration - you don't need the manual webhook builder from the Print Farm plan. ## How to connect SimplyPrint to Zapier | You only need to connect SimplyPrint once. After that, every Zap you build can reuse the same connection. 1. Log in to your Zapier account. 2. Open the [SimplyPrint page in the Zapier app directory](https://zapier.com/apps/simplyprint/integrations). 3. Click **Connect** and sign in with your SimplyPrint account when prompted. 4. Review and approve the requested permissions to finish linking the two accounts. The connection uses OAuth2: the token Zapier receives is scoped to your user, and you can revoke it at any time by deleting the connection under **Apps** in Zapier. ## Use a pre-made Zap template The fastest way to get started is with a template. The [SimplyPrint app directory page](https://zapier.com/apps/simplyprint/integrations) lists popular ready-made Zaps. 1. Click **Use this Zap** on any template card. 2. Zapier opens the Zap editor with the trigger and action pre-filled. 3. Connect the other app (Slack, Google Sheets, etc.) if it isn't already linked. 4. Test the Zap and turn it on. ## Build a Zap from scratch 1. In Zapier, click **Create Zap**. 2. Pick a trigger app - either SimplyPrint (to react to a SimplyPrint event) or something else (to act on SimplyPrint). 3. Choose the specific trigger, e.g. **Print Job Completed**. 4. Sign in / select your SimplyPrint connection. 5. Pick the printer(s) or filter the trigger as needed. 6. Add one or more actions - again, either SimplyPrint actions or any other Zapier app. 7. Test each step, then turn the Zap on. ## Let Copilot build it for you No need to build by hand if you'd rather not: describe the workflow in plain English in Zapier's Copilot ("When a job completes in SimplyPrint, add a Google Sheet record documenting the print") and it assembles the trigger, the action and the field mapping for you. You just review, test and turn it on. ## Example Zaps to try - **Print finished -> Slack message**: notify your team channel every time a print completes, with printer name, filename and duration. - **Print failed -> Discord alert + Trello card**: double-action Zap that both pings a channel and creates a review task. - **New Shopify order -> Add to queue**: auto-queue a print job whenever a customer orders a 3D-printed product. - **Daily digest**: use Zapier's Schedule trigger to email yourself a summary of yesterday's prints, pulled from SimplyPrint. ## Troubleshooting ### The Zapier connection keeps failing Make sure your SimplyPrint account is on the Pro plan (or higher). The Zapier integration checks your plan when authorizing; without Pro access, the connection won't complete. You can upgrade on the [pricing page](https://simplyprint.io/pricing). ### A trigger isn't firing Open the Zap's **Zap history** in Zapier to see whether the trigger ran and what it returned. Give it a few minutes after the event - delivery isn't always instant. ### An action returns an authorization error Your SimplyPrint token may have been revoked. Go to Zapier -> **Apps** -> **SimplyPrint** and reconnect the integration. ### Rate limits Zapier and SimplyPrint both rate-limit API calls. If you build a Zap that triggers very often, Zapier will queue runs and retry - you don't need to do anything. If you consistently hit limits, consider adding a **Filter** or **Delay** step to the Zap. ## Related articles - [The SimplyPrint integrations: connect your CAD, slicer and automation tools](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/the-simplyprint-integrations-connect-your-cad-slicer-and-automation-tools-1980dmd/) - [The n8n integration: automate SimplyPrint with self-hosted workflows](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/the-n8n-integration-automate-simplyprint-with-self-hosted-workflows-6j8b0h/) - [The Activepieces integration: automate SimplyPrint with open-source workflows](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/the-activepieces-integration-automate-simplyprint-with-open-source-workflows-ujr3py/) - [Connect SimplyPrint to any AI assistant via MCP](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/connect-simplyprint-to-any-ai-assistant-via-mcp-u5j4bw/) - [The SimplyPrint API: a quick intro for developers](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/the-simplyprint-api-a-quick-intro-for-developers-17fpo7l/)
