What Nomi triggers and actions are supported by Zapier?

Nomi currently only supports actions. However, more Zapier triggers and actions are in our future roadmap. You can connect Zapier to Nomi to:

Create supplier bills

A new supplier bill is created every time the trigger event takes place. Ensure you have the correct company name, supplier, currency code, bill number, bill date, expense type, gross amount and VAT amount in the software that is triggering this action. Dext Prepare acts as a great trigger for this action.

Upload pictures of receipts

A new receipt is created within the ‘Pending Receipts’ section of Nomi every time the trigger event takes place. Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox act as great triggers for this action.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does Zapier support two-way syncing?
    No. Zapier does not support two-way syncing between apps. Think of Zaps like one-way workflows. In certain scenarios, you can fake two-way syncing by setting up two different Zaps that perform opposite actions. For instance, you could have one Zap that creates a new spreadsheet row for every new contact created and another that creates a new contact for every new spreadsheet row.
  • Why does Zapier need access to my app account?
    In order for Zapier to create any automation for you, it needs to have permissions to access your data within your app account. This then enables Zapier to carry out any actions on your behalf through your Zaps, whether this is creating, searching for, or updating an element within your app.
  • Why is there a delay before my Zap is triggered?
    If you notice a delay in your Zap triggering, it's likely because the Zap has a polling trigger, which looks for new information from your trigger app once every 1 to 15 minutes. The polling time for your Zaps varies based on your subscription plan.
  • Does Zapier cost anything?
    There is a free edition that is limited in terms of functionality. We recommend visiting www.zapier.com to view their pricing structure.
  • Does Nomi plan to create more actions & triggers in the future?
    Yes, definitely! We recognize how important it is to accountants, bookkeepers, and their clients in having a connected app stack. It's in our roadmap to open up more actions as soon as possible, to make the most of integrations with the likes of Shopify, eBay, Amazon Seller Central, and many more.
