--- title: "Connect PDFBetter to Zapier" description: "Add PDFBetter actions and triggers to your Zaps: sign in once, approve access, and convert, merge, fill or send PDFs for signature from any Zap." url: https://help.pdfbetter.com/automation/connect-zapier/ collection: "Workflows & integrations" section: "Zapier & Make" updated: 2026-10-18 publisher: "PDFBetter (AI Generated Inc.)" --- # Connect PDFBetter to Zapier > Start from **Settings** → **Integrations** → **Set up in Zapier**, add a PDFBetter step in a Zap and sign in, then click **Allow and connect**. Each action a Zap runs counts as one agent & automation run on your plan. - Available on: Free, Pro, Business - Counts toward: Agent & automation runs Do it in PDFBetter: https://pdfbetter.com/app/settings/integrations/ > **Not in Zapier's public directory yet:** PDFBetter's Zapier app is waiting for Zapier's review, so searching for it in Zapier may not find it. Start from PDFBetter's **Integrations** settings, which link you to the app. If the card says **Coming soon**, the app isn't open to accounts yet. ## Connect your account 1. **Open the Integrations settings**: Click **Settings** at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Integrations**. Under **Zapier & Make**, click **Set up in Zapier**. It opens in a new tab. 2. **Add a PDFBetter step to a Zap**: In the Zap editor, choose PDFBetter as the app and pick an event, such as the **Document Fully Signed** trigger or the **Compress PDF** action. 3. **Sign in to PDFBetter**: When Zapier asks for an account, sign in. A PDFBetter page opens; log in if you aren't already. Guests are asked to create a free account first. 4. **Allow access**: The page lists what Zapier will be able to do and how many automation runs your plan includes. Click **Allow and connect**, or **Cancel** to stop. 5. **Check the connection**: Back in PDFBetter, Zapier is listed under **Connected apps** in Settings → Integrations, with when it was connected and last used. ## Files in and out Actions that work on a document let you pick one already in PDFBetter, or map a file from an earlier step (an email attachment, a form upload, a cloud file). PDFBetter imports that file for the step, so one step is enough. Files PDFBetter produces are passed on to later steps as real files. Slow jobs such as OCR, conversion or compression run in the background. Zapier waits for PDFBetter to report back when the job ends, so the next step gets the finished file. ## What it costs Every action that runs counts as one **agent & automation run**. Failed actions aren't counted. The work an action does also uses its normal allowance, exactly as in the app: downloads, conversions, OCR pages, [AI credits](https://help.pdfbetter.com/ai/ai-credits/) and signature requests. | Per month | No account | Free | Pro | Business | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Agent & automation runs | — | 200 | 5,000 | Unlimited | "Unlimited" is subject to fair use; "—" means not included. ## Disconnect Zapier In **Settings** → **Integrations**, under **Connected apps**, click **Disconnect** next to Zapier and confirm. Zapier stops working with your account right away and its triggers are removed. You can connect again from Zapier at any time. ### Do I need a paid plan? No. Any PDFBetter account can connect Zapier. Free includes 200 runs a month, Pro 5,000, and Business is unlimited (fair use). ### Which account do the Zaps use? The PDFBetter account you were logged in to when you clicked **Allow and connect**. Teammates connect their own accounts. ### The connection page says the link doesn't work. Why? It was opened from somewhere other than the PDFBetter app in Zapier or Make. Start the connection again from the Zap editor. ## Related articles - [PDFBetter actions and triggers in Zapier and Make](https://help.pdfbetter.com/automation/zapier-make-actions-triggers.md): Zapier and Make get the same set: 15 instant triggers (signing, forms, exports, bulk fills, workflow runs) and actions for documents, pages, conversion, AI, extraction, workflows, workspaces, forms and signatures. - [Connect PDFBetter to Make](https://help.pdfbetter.com/automation/connect-make.md): Start from Settings → Integrations → Set up in Make, add a PDFBetter module to a scenario, create a connection and click Allow and connect.
