- How do I use an interface’s managed user email as a variable in a Zap?
After the managed user adds a row to a table in an interface, I want to update a hidden field containing their email (used for a dynamic filter) so that other managed users won’t see the row they added.
I’m having trouble finding a way to use “current user’s email” as a variable in a zap that updates the hidden field in the table when they make a new row.
Feel free to ask clarifying questions if needed, Thank you!

Hi there
If you set the default value of the hidden field on the form to be {{currentUser.email}} that should populate the equivalent field in the table with the user’s email address:
Can you give that a try and let me know if that works as hoped?

Hey!
Thanks for the quick reply! So the way the user adds a row to the interface is through the “create new ___” button that comes with the table component by default, so there isn’t an actual form where I can edit these settings.
For now I’ll just remove that button and add a separate form component so I can use this fix. That should work just as well!
Thanks again
