Hi, we have a form that collects zip codes (in the US), and we want to easily be able to figure out which state they are in.

 

Is there an easy way to do this in Zapier?

Hi @nicholas 

You’d need to establish some sort of lookup table (GSheets or Airtable) or leverage and app’s API to do this data translation.

Try doing some GSearches as there are free resources available to scrape together your own lookup table of Zips and States to use in your Zap.

 

Zap Action Step

GSheets - Lookup Row

OR

Airtable - Find Row

Hi @nicholas 
 

There are free api services such as https://www.zipcodeapi.com/API if you are making less than 10 requests/hour.

@nicholas If you’re going to use an API that can be leveraged via the Webhooks app action step in the Zap: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/integrations#triggers-and-actions
