I’m selling an online course via Paypal and I want to set up a Zap so that whenever someone purchases the course on Paypal they are automatically emailed a Zoom invitation. I’m struggling with the very first step here of identifying purchases of the course. I set up a trigger for Paypal ‘Payment Sale Webhooks’, and now I’d like to set up a filter to identify the transactions by ‘Item Name’ but I can’t seem to find that as an option. That’s a solution that was recommended in a post on this forum but it was four years ago so I’m wondering if that is no longer an option, or maybe I’m just missing something obvious? All of the course sales are through a specific payment link, I’d just like a way to identify them in Zapier. Would appreciate some guidance on this, thank you!

Hi there,
How did you get on with adding that Filter action to the Zap? Were you able to get it filtering out the relevant item names?
Want to make sure you’re all set, keep us posted on how it’s going! 🙂

Your screenshot shows a scrollbar, meaning if you scroll down there will be more data points, which might include one you can use in the Filter condition.
Hello, this is the exact same problem I am encountering when integrating PayPal with Zapier. I just signed up a few days ago and wondering if I made a mistake??? Has this been resolved, and if so, what is the answer? It’s obvious that using the scroll button to review all fields is available. None of the basic fields that you would expect to see (email, item name, transaction ID, etc.) appear on the list when using the Payment Sale Webooks for Event=Completed - A payment sale completed under Configure menu.
Thank you for any update

Try testing the event in PayPal AFTER the PayPal Zap trigger was configured.
Here’s a workaround to try: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/35632951078029-Use-previous-Zap-runs-as-trigger-test-records
