You can trigger or continue Zaps from your tables or from specific fields within it. You can also trigger Zaps only when records match specific views.  Tip Zapier Tables steps in Zaps do not count toward your Zap task usage.   Create a Zap for a tableLinking a Zap to a table allows you to add information from another app to the table automatically or to create a workflow that starts when there's a new or updated record. On the left sidebar, click the Linked assets icon . In the Zaps tab, click + Create. In the dialog box, click one of the buttons: Bring data in: starts a Zap with another app as a trigger, and adds new records to a table. Send data out: starts a Zap that triggers from new records on the table and sends the content to another app. Modify data: starts a Zap that triggers when an existing record is updated. Start from scratch: starts a blank Zap and you can select a trigger and actions. Click Create Zap. A new browser tab or window will open with the new Zap.  You can then continue to set up your Zap trigger or action. Tip You can also use the Button field type to trigger or continue Zaps.  Create a Zap for a specific field You can create Zaps that only trigger when a specific field is updated. Click the name of the field you want to trigger a Zap. Select + Create Zap. The Zap will have a Zapier Tables Updated Record trigger already filled with the table and the specific field's name. Set up your action. Note If you delete a field that's in use by a Zap, the Zap will stop working. Create a Zap for a viewYou can create Zaps that will trigger only for records that match the filters of a specific table view. This allows you to avoid using a Filter step in your Zap.When you set up a Zap using Zapier Tables as the trigger app, the dropdown menu displays a label to differentiate tables from views.You can also create a Zap directly from your view by either: Clicking the + Create button at the top of the table, and selecting Automation. Clicking the + Automation button at the bottom of the table. Use table summaries in ZapsYou can trigger or continue Zaps from summaries in your table fields.  Summary formula updated: triggers a Zap whenever the summary formula value changes. Calculate summary formula: calculate any of the available summary formulas for an existing number field. The value will not be displayed on the table. Get summary formula values: find all existing summary formulas and their values from a table. Remove a value from a field through a ZapIf you need to clear the content of a field while updating it through Zaps, you can insert $$CLEAR$$ into any field in an Update Record Zap step. When the step runs, whatever value is in the field will be removed.When you insert $$CLEAR$$ into a field, it'll turn into a pill, or bubble, with a yellow border. Note You cannot use $$CLEAR$$ with Dropdown fields.  Provide feedback and get helpSubmit a feature request, provide feedback on existing features, or get help from the Zapier Tables team.
