I’m trying to create a zap as follows:

 

Person comments on my blog and leaves their email address

Their first name, email address, and a tag gets added to Convertkit

 

I keep getting an error when trying to set up this zap. I can’t figure out what’s not working. 

Really appreciate the help!

Hey friends! Just coming in here to summarize some of the suggestions on how to move past this issue:

The data being used to test is not a valid email address.

If no email variable is available to use, but if you know the Author ID, then you can get the email address by creating a Lookup Table: https://zapier.com/help/create/format/create-lookup-tables-in-zaps
​​​​​

Here’s another resource on Lookup Tables if that helps!

Keep us posted! 🤗

Hi @MomInRed 

Good question.

The data being used to test is not a valid email address.

Thank you! I suspected this, but I don’t see “email address” as an option to choose… Hmmm. How do I fix this?
