Hi @ocptopus491 

Good question.

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured in the Zap EDIT mode.

Check the field descriptions.

The Order ID needs to be an open Square Order ID.

The Customer ID needs to be a Square Customer ID. (not an email address)

Hmm. so should I have a step before sending the invoice to create the customer and the order? The goal was to have it dynamically create the invoice based on the order info and then email it.
