How to Get Started with Langfuse on Zapier
Connecting Langfuse with Zapier lets you automatically log, track, and analyze LLM-related events from your apps without manual work. This guide walks you through every step, from creating your first Zap to managing Langfuse traces and observations.
The instructions below are based on the official Langfuse integration documentation and explain how to configure the integration for stable, reliable workflows.
What you need before using Langfuse with Zapier
Before building any automation, make sure you have the following:
- An active Zapier account.
- A Langfuse account with API credentials.
- Access to the apps you want to connect, such as your LLM provider, CRM, or support tools.
If you need help planning broader automation across tools, you can find additional strategy resources at Consultevo.
How the Langfuse and Zapier integration works
The integration lets you send data from other apps into Langfuse or use Langfuse data inside your automations. You do this by configuring Zaps, which are automated workflows built in Zapier.
Each Zap includes at least one trigger and one action:
- Trigger: the event that starts the workflow.
- Action: the task Zapier performs in another app when the trigger fires.
With Langfuse, actions typically log or update traces, observations, or scores from LLM interactions so you can monitor quality and behavior.
Connect your Langfuse account to Zapier
To use Langfuse actions, you first need to connect your account inside Zapier.
-
Sign in to your Zapier dashboard.
-
Start creating a new Zap (you can also open an existing one if you plan to add Langfuse to an existing workflow).
-
When you reach the action step, search for Langfuse in the app search bar.
-
Select the Langfuse app and click to connect a new account when prompted.
-
Enter your Langfuse API key and any other requested credentials.
-
Allow access so that Zapier can send data to your Langfuse project.
After successful authentication, your Langfuse account will appear in the account selector for future Zaps.
Create your first Langfuse Zapier workflow
Once the connection is in place, you are ready to create a workflow that sends events into Langfuse whenever an event happens in another app.
Step 1: Choose a trigger app in Zapier
-
In the Zap editor, search for the app that will start the workflow.
-
Select a trigger event that represents the moment you want to log something in Langfuse. Examples include:
- New message generated by your LLM provider.
- New support ticket created in your help desk.
- New row added to a spreadsheet.
-
Connect the trigger app account if you have not done so already.
-
Test the trigger so Zapier can pull in a sample record to use for mapping later.
Step 2: Add a Langfuse action in Zapier
-
Click the plus icon to add an action step.
-
Search for and select the Langfuse app.
-
Choose the appropriate Langfuse action. Depending on the integration version, common options include:
- Create or update a trace.
- Add an observation.
- Log a score or evaluation.
-
Select the Langfuse account you authenticated earlier.
Step 3: Map fields from the trigger to Langfuse
Next, map data from the trigger app into the Langfuse fields exposed in Zapier.
-
In each Langfuse field, click inside the input box.
-
Use the dropdown to insert values from your trigger step, for example:
- Prompt text or message content.
- User ID or session ID.
- Model name or provider.
- Metadata like timestamps or channel.
-
Combine static text with dynamic fields where helpful, such as adding a prefix to trace names or grouping related events.
Careful field mapping ensures that your Langfuse project receives structured, searchable data from every Zap.
Step 4: Test and publish your Zapier workflow
-
In the action step, click Test to send sample data from Zapier to Langfuse.
-
Open your Langfuse dashboard to confirm that the trace or observation appears as expected.
-
If the data structure or naming is not ideal, adjust the field mapping and test again.
-
When you are satisfied with the results, turn your Zap on.
From now on, each new trigger event will automatically send data through Zapier into your Langfuse project.
Popular ways to use Langfuse and Zapier together
Here are common scenarios that teams implement using this integration:
- Log every LLM call: Whenever your application or chatbot generates a response, use a Zap to create traces and observations for later analysis.
- Connect feedback loops: Capture user feedback or ratings from support tools or forms and push them into Langfuse as scores.
- Track experiments: When you deploy new prompts or models, use Zapier to tag events in Langfuse with experiment identifiers and metadata.
- Centralize monitoring: Consolidate logs from multiple apps and channels into a single Langfuse project without custom code.
Manage and troubleshoot your Zapier integration
Keeping your automation stable requires occasional monitoring in both Langfuse and Zapier.
Verify events inside Langfuse
- Check that traces, observations, or scores are appearing shortly after each trigger event.
- Confirm that identifiers, user references, and timestamps are consistent.
- Refine field mappings in Zapier if you see missing or incorrect data.
Review Zap history in Zapier
- Open the Zap history to see successful and failed runs.
- Inspect task details to understand which data was sent to Langfuse.
- Look for authentication errors or field mapping issues after any app changes.
Update credentials when needed
If you rotate your Langfuse API key or change project settings, update the connected account inside Zapier so future runs can still send data successfully.
Where to find official Langfuse Zapier documentation
For the latest details on supported actions, fields, and limits, review the official documentation provided by Langfuse and Zapier. You can access the original help article at this Langfuse on Zapier guide.
Use that reference for up-to-date screenshots, new features, and any changes to available triggers or actions.
Next steps with Langfuse and Zapier
After you have one working automation, consider building additional Zaps for different parts of your stack. You can:
- Log separate traces for different products or teams.
- Route feedback from multiple channels into a single analytic view.
- Set up parallel Zaps to compare different prompt strategies or models, while logging all results in Langfuse.
By combining Langfuse with Zapier, you can create a robust, low-code monitoring layer around your LLM workflows and continuously improve them using real, structured data.
