Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with a Zap I’ve set up using Google Sheets as the trigger and ActiveCampaign as the action.

Here’s my setup:

  1. I have a Google Form linked to a Google Sheet where responses are stored.
  2. In the Google Sheet, I’ve added formulas to determine whether a contact qualifies or not based on their responses (e.g., columns with =IF() formulas).
  3. I’m using the column with the email addresses to map the “Email Address” field in ActiveCampaign.

The issue:
When I test the Zap, the email column doesn’t seem to map correctly in Zapier, and it displays “no data” in the email field during the trigger test. This is causing problems with sending the data to ActiveCampaign, as the email field is required.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Verified that the email column in Google Sheets has data (no empty cells).
  2. Refreshed the trigger fields in Zapier.
  3. Added new rows manually with valid email data and tested the trigger again.
  4. Re-linked the Google Form to a new Google Sheet and re-applied the logic formulas.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists.

Question:
Has anyone encountered a similar issue with mapping data from Google Sheets, especially when using formulas? Any suggestions or workarounds to ensure Zapier correctly reads and maps the email field would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!



Failed to create a contact in ActiveCampaign

The app returned "Contact id or email is required. (422)".


Hi ​@PatriciaIQ,

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

To troubleshoot email addresses in Google Sheets not being recognized by Zapier, ensure the email column is the first in your sheet, check that no formulas conflict with the data, and confirm that the email addresses are formatted as plain text. Reconnect your Google Sheets account to Zapier if needed, and contact Zapier support if the issue persists. Also, verify that the correct Google Sheet and worksheet are selected and that the email column is correctly mapped to the email field in ActiveCampaign.

 

Let us know if you have any further inquiries. Thank you
