I want to make an integration from a Typeform and one of the fields is the Birthday. However, i can’t include it in the outlook contact. Is there any way to sort this out? It is amazing that with the Power automate i could not include notes and with zapier you can include notes, but not the Bday.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Community.
The issue with mapping date fields between apps in Zapier often occurs due to different date formats. To resolve it, add a "Formatter by Zapier" step after the Typeform trigger, select the "Date/Time" operation, and use the "Format" transform to convert the date into a format that Outlook Contacts accepts (for example, "YYYY-MM-DD"). Map the formatted date to the Birthday field in the Outlook Contacts action. This should ensure Outlook Contacts correctly recognize the date.
Let us know if you have any further inquiries. Thank you
Thank you.
It is not a matter of formatting. The field does not exist in the “add contact to outlook” action, so there is no possibility of adding any information there.
is there any way of adding that field?
+11Hi there
I had a look and I couldn’t see any such field either so I’d suggest contacting our Support team to submit a new feature request for that field to be added. You can do that here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help.
In the meantime, perhaps you could try using the Microsoft Outlook app’s API Request action in your Zap? It looks like their Update contact endpoint would allow you to add a date to the Birthday field for a contact: 
It’s a bit more advanced that the other Microsoft Outlook actions but we’ve got a general guide on how to set it up here: Set up an API request action. And I’d be happy to lend a hand if you get stuck at all, just let me know! 🙂
Hello! I had this same exact issue and I was able to make an API Request in Zapier to outlook to solve this problem. Let me know if you’d like me to share the code; it’s super simple!
My data is coming from Monday.com, yours is different. But just map it over the same way!
