I have a zap created that when we receive a new recurring donation in Zeffy it will add the donor to a welcome series in Convertkit. However, it is changing the individual’s name in Convertkit to the that of the testing record I used. How do I fix this?

Hi @Angela S. 

For us to have full context, post screenshots with how the steps are outlined, and configured, thanks.

We will need to see more screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured in the Zap EDIT mode, thanks.

Hey I had the same issue and just fixed it -

I was getting the name from my first test tacked on the front of each first name that was submitted. 

I do not know if this will be your fix, but maybe so here goes...

On the TEST steps / walkthrough on Zapier I had originally typed in my FIRST NAME, as the field did accept my text. This was the mistake. It was not lear that I had to click and select “First Name” from the google sheet.

By typing, my name was forever stuck as a value each time the zap ran.

I disabled the zap and rebuilt a new one, but instead for the test steps, clicked in the first name field and selected “First Name” to be imported from the Google spreadsheet. 

Then I looked in convertkit and voila!  First name was correct! YAY.

I think typing a value in the tests saves it somewhere and it gets passed again and again.

My first name is Adam, and as I did test submissions with other names, Convert Kit was showing first names like

AdamMike
AdamJoe
AdamAdam

I suggest simply disabling your zap and rebuilding as I did, taking care not to type in the fields when you test.
