How to resolve invalid lead type issues when integrating Certileads with Sierra

I’ve been trying to set up a zap with Certileads and haven’t found any info to address the invalid lead type issue. When creating the lead in Sierra, it fails for “leadType has invalid value. Valid values: Buyer, Seller, Both.” The lead type comes in as “seller_lead” or “buyer_lead”. Is there formatting to change that to the appropriate valid value to create my lead in the CRM?

Hey ​@RareRealtyGroupTC,

Try using Formatter in Zapier to format the lead. You can probably use Lookup Tables to do this. Here is a helpful article about it- https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496305146765-Create-lookup-tables-in-Zaps.

Hope it helps!
