How to Get Started with Zapier and Mighty Networks

Integrating Mighty Networks with Zapier lets you automate community tasks, connect your network to other apps, and streamline onboarding. This guide walks you through supported triggers and actions, typical use cases, and how to build your first automation.

What You Need Before Connecting Mighty Networks to Zapier

Before you can automate workflows between Mighty Networks and Zapier, make sure you have the right accounts and permissions in place.

An active Mighty Networks account where you are a Host or have admin-level access.
A Zapier account with permission to create and edit Zaps.
Access to any other apps you want to connect, such as email tools, CRMs, or form builders.

Once these requirements are met, you are ready to connect Mighty Networks to Zapier and start automating tasks.

How the Mighty Networks Zapier Integration Works

The integration between Mighty Networks and Zapier is built around two core concepts: triggers and actions. Triggers start an automation when something happens in your community, while actions perform tasks in response.

Available Mighty Networks Triggers in Zapier

You can use the following events in Mighty Networks as triggers inside Zapier:

New Member — Fires when a new person joins your Mighty Network.
New Article — Fires when a new article is published.
New Question — Fires when a new question is posted.
New Event — Fires when a new event is created.
New Space — Fires when a new Space is created in your network.
New Comment — Fires when a new comment is added to a post.
New Member in Space — Fires when a member joins a specific Space.

Each of these triggers can start a Zap and send data into thousands of other apps connected with Zapier.

Available Mighty Networks Actions in Zapier

Mighty Networks also supports actions that Zapier can run when another app triggers an event:

Create Member — Creates a new member in your Mighty Network.
Find Member — Looks up an existing member, which you can combine with other actions.
Create Space — Creates a new Space in your network.
Add Member to Space — Adds an existing member to a Space.

By combining these actions with other apps, Zapier lets you build powerful automations for onboarding, content distribution, and community engagement.

How to Connect Mighty Networks to Zapier

Follow these steps to connect your Mighty Networks account and use it in automations.

Sign in to Zapier. Log in to your account and go to your dashboard.
Create a new Zap. Click the button to create a Zap and open the setup editor.
Select Mighty Networks. Choose Mighty Networks as either the trigger app or the action app, depending on your workflow.
Choose a trigger or action. Pick the specific Mighty Networks trigger or action you want to use.
Connect your account. When prompted, click to connect a Mighty Networks account and sign in with your Host or admin credentials.
Authorize access. Approve the connection so Zapier can read or write data in your Mighty Network as required by the trigger or action.
Test the connection. Use the built-in test step to pull in sample data from Mighty Networks or send a test record.

After you complete these steps, your Mighty Networks account will be available in the Zap editor for all supported triggers and actions.

Creating Your First Mighty Networks Zapier Automation

Once your account is connected, you can build a simple automation using Zapier. The process is the same for most community workflows.

Step 1: Set Up a Mighty Networks Trigger

In your Zap, select Mighty Networks as the trigger app.
Choose a trigger event, such as New Member or New Member in Space.
Select the connected Mighty Networks account.
Configure any filters or Space selections that the trigger requires.
Run a test to pull a recent record from your community.

This test helps Zapier understand the data format, such as member name, email, or Space details.

Step 2: Add an Action in Another App

Click to add an action step below your Mighty Networks trigger.
Select the app you want to send data to, such as an email platform or CRM.
Choose the relevant action, for example, Create Contact or Add Subscriber.
Map fields from Mighty Networks (like name and email) to the fields in the other app.
Test the action to confirm the data flows correctly.

With this setup, every time the trigger runs in Mighty Networks, Zapier will automatically perform the selected action in your other app.

Step 3: Add a Mighty Networks Action (Optional)

You can also use another app as the trigger and run a Mighty Networks action in response. For example:

Use a form tool as the trigger app for new submissions.
Add a Mighty Networks action step.
Choose Create Member or Add Member to Space.
Map the form fields to the Mighty Networks member fields.
Test the step to be sure new members are created or added to the right Space.

This pattern lets Zapier automatically enroll people into your community based on events in other systems.

Popular Use Cases for Mighty Networks and Zapier

Here are some common automation ideas you can set up using Zapier and Mighty Networks:

Automatically add new paying customers from your checkout tool as members in a specific Space.
Sync new Mighty Networks members to your email marketing list for onboarding sequences.
Send notifications to a team chat app when a new article, question, or event is created.
Create CRM contacts whenever someone joins your community, keeping sales records in sync.

Each workflow uses the same core building blocks: a trigger, one or more actions, and field mapping within Zapier.

Troubleshooting the Mighty Networks Zapier Integration

If your automation is not running as expected, there are several areas to review.

Check Trigger and Action Settings

Confirm that the correct Mighty Networks account is selected in each step.
Review any Space filters to ensure the right Space is chosen.
Check that the trigger event exists in your community, such as a recent new member or new article.

Review Field Mapping in Zapier

Ensure required fields are mapped from Mighty Networks to the other app.
Verify that email addresses, names, and identifiers appear correctly in test data.
Confirm that you are not mapping empty or test-only values.

Run Tests and Check Task History

Use the Test options in each step of your Zap.
Review Zap run or task history in your Zapier dashboard to see any error messages.
Re-authorize your Mighty Networks connection if authentication errors appear.
