Zapier
Smart Instinct is a helpdesk implementation and AI agent setup agency, and a Zapier Partner. We build and maintain the automation that connects your helpdesk to billing, CRM, shipping and internal tools, with error handling so a broken step does not fail quietly.
Most Zapier work we inherit was built by whoever needed it that week. It runs, nobody knows what it touches, and it fails without telling anyone. The build is the easy half. Making it legible and safe is the job.
Zapier bills on tasks, not seats. Every successful action a Zap takes is a task, so the cost scales with your ticket volume rather than your headcount. One unfiltered trigger firing on every ticket update can consume more tasks than the rest of your account combined.
Model your task volume before you commit to a plan, and read the current tiers on Zapier's own pricing page rather than trusting a number in somebody's proposal. We design the filters early precisely because that line is the one that surprises people.
The same numbers as every other page on this site. Pricing does not vary by platform. These are our fees, separate from Zapier's own subscription above.
Each tier is a fixed price for the scope limits listed. Past a limit: $1,250 per integration, $2,500 per brand, $3,750 per platform.
Often not. If your helpdesk has a native integration with the system you care about, use it. It is faster, it consumes no tasks, and it is one less thing to maintain. We will tell you that on the call rather than build something you did not need.
It should tell you. Silent failure is the default behaviour and it is what actually costs you, because the first person to notice is usually a customer. We wire failure paths so an error raises a ticket in the helpdesk rather than sitting in a run history nobody opens.
On the scoping call. A fixed price, not a range.
You do, documented.
Thirty minutes, no charge. We will tell you what it costs to fix them, or that it is not worth fixing yet.
