Trigger Steps:

  1. Choose an app

  2. Choose a trigger

  3. Connect an account

  4. Trigger details (optional)

  5. Test the trigger

 

Action Steps:

  1. Choose an app

  2. Choose an action

  3. Connect an account

  4. Set up action template

  5. Test the action

  6. Then you must turn on the zap! Please don’t forget this crucial step because the zap will not work until it is toggled on.
