Hi @angie starr 

Here’s an article about how to change your trigger examples: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/change-the-test-data-in-your-zap-trigger

I read that article but on my set up I don’t see a trigger step.  I am new to all this so maybe I am overlooking it, but where can I find the trigger step?

Hi @angie starr 

In a Zap, step 1 is always the trigger step.

NOTE: Sometimes to test a Zap step, may have to hardcode a value for a field (e.g. email address), instead of dynamically mapping that data point.

Might be worth spending some time to learn about the Zapier Basics: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics

 

 

Ok yes so my trigger step is when a product is purchased then they are going to added to podia.  But I don’t see an option of changing the email like the article suggested.  Can I just skip the test email altogether? I just want to make sure this student is not going to receive this new course

Yes, you can skip the testing of a step.

Mapped data points between Zap steps show actual values, so that you can make sure you are configuring (and testing) Zap steps.
