I’m trying to add a new contact into Salesforce and keep getting this error:
“Could not create record of the "Contact" object: Record Type ID: this ID value isn't valid for the user: 0123i000000EBnnAAG”
Can someone please help me troubleshoot this?

Check to make sure the connected Salesforce account has enough/proper permissions/privileges set in Salesforce.
Error: "INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE"
This usually means that a Salesforce admin has restricted updates or insertions on that particular field(s) listed in the error message. You’ll need to contact your Salesforce admin to get the necessary permissions for the action.
Error: FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION"
Double check if one of the fields/objects has a custom validation rule. You would need to check that rule and ensure that the record we are creating through the Zap adheres to that rule.
Hi Troy, I am set up as Sys Admin so i don’t think that is it. I also checked and there are no custom validation rules for that field. Any other ideas?
