Direct vs. Zapier integration with Follow Up Boss in Presence®

How to choose between the Direct API integration and Zapier when connecting Follow Up Boss to your Luxury Presence website.

Overview

There are two ways to connect Follow Up Boss (FUB) to your Luxury Presence website — Direct Integration using your FUB API key, and Zapier Integration for more customized workflows. The right choice depends on how much customization you need.

Direct Integration

The fastest and simplest option — copy your FUB API key into the Presence® Platform and leads sync automatically.

Works well for:

  • Straightforward lead routing with no customization needed
  • Clients who want a low-maintenance, reliable connection

Limitations:

  • All leads receive the same tag
  • Cannot filter leads by form, page, or source
  • Custom tags and routing rules are not supported

See [How to connect Follow Up Boss to Presence®] for setup instructions.

Zapier Integration

A more flexible option that supports custom tags, filtering, and multi-step workflows.

Works well for:

  • Clients who need custom tagging or routing based on form, page, or campaign
  • Clients using a CRM not directly supported by Luxury Presence
  • Complex, multi-step lead workflows

Limitations:

  • More technical to set up — requires configuration across LP, Zapier, and FUB
  • Does not appear in the LP dashboard integrations page
  • May require a paid Zapier plan for advanced features
  • More points of failure and longer debugging time

FAQs

Which integration should I use if I just want leads to go to FUB automatically?

Use the Direct Integration — it's the simplest setup and works reliably for straightforward lead syncing.

Can I switch from Direct to Zapier later?

Yes. You can set up a Zapier integration at any time. If you're already using the Direct Integration, contact our support team before switching to avoid duplicate lead routing.

Do I need a paid Zapier account?

Basic Zaps may work on a free plan, but advanced features like multi-step workflows, filters, and premium app connections typically require a paid Zapier plan.

Who do I contact if I need help choosing or setting up an integration?
