Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to look at this. I’m very new a Zapier, so if you don’t mind please explain your answer in detail (thanks in advance).

 

I’m selling my product on wordpress/woocommerce, and when the customer buys something, they enter their “role in relation to the purchase” (coach, parent, player, etc) in a custom field. A new custom field has been made, and I wish to “relocate” the old information into the new one. 

Role (old) = coach → Role (new) = coach

 

How would you suggest to do this?

 

Kind regards,

Morten

Hi @GripFixer 

Good question.

Try these Zap steps:

 


Hi Troy,

 

Thank you so much for helping out! 

 

What would you set as the trigger? (The order is not a new one, but old ones).


@GripFixer 

In the Zap trigger are you able to specify only updated Orders?

 


Hi Troy,

 

You’re everywhere 😆 Which is amazing! :) 

 

I looks like that is an option.

 


 

 

Thank you very much again Troy.

 

My next question is how does an update work.?

  • Do I need to fill in all the fields (see pic 2), or just the fields I want to change? 
  • Which fields should I fill in when I want the old role field to be inserted into this field (pic 1) - and please keep in mind that there are different variables in that field (“coach”, “parent”, club_representative”, “player”, “other”).

Hi @GripFixer!

The update order action will only update the fields in which you put information, so if you leave something blank whatever is already there will stay there. I think that answers your question, but please let me know if I can clear anything up for you!
