I am collecting information using Jotform and need to validate information with a spreadsheet. I need to return an error to the form if there is no match. Is this possible with Zapier?

Hi
I believe you want to know if Zapier can surface the error right in Jotform's Form UI if a data match is found. And the answer to that is "no". I encourage you to reach out to Jotform's support team to see if they have any insight on how to do this kind of mid-form data validation.
Just a heads up, Zapier works like “When this happens (trigger app), do this (action app).
Here are helpful articles for how Zapier works:

Hopefully this helps!
