Can I use CongitoForm field values as triggers?

I’m trying to use the values of a Choice field as a trigger, but I cannot see this option when creating a Zap.

More specifically, I’m trying to connect CognitoForms (CF) with Zoom Events (ZE).   

In the CF form, the user can choose one item from a list (i.e. radio button, so only 1 item can be selected).  Depending on the chosen value, the user will be registered to ZE with a different ticket type.    

The ZE part of the automation works, as I can select the ticket type in Zapier from a drop-down list.  BUT I cannot find a step that includes a specific value of a Choice field in CognitoForms when setting up the trigger.

Any ideas?   Would this work in a more expensive Zapier plan?

I’m open to using another online form as well if I can replicate this functionality.  (It should be possible to embed the form into a Wordpress website though).

Hi @CsabaBP 

Good question.

Try adding a Filter as step 2: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help

Thank you, @Troy Tessalone. for your help!

Now I remembered -- I used Zapier filters in the past, but it’s been a long time since I last used Zapier to build a new zap.  Now in this new interface the + sign is much smaller, and I simply did not notice it. 

In the earlier version it was much more obvious.

regards,

Csaba
