Manatal ATS Custom Field Mapping

Hi Zapier Community! 👋

I'm trying to set up a Zap that syncs new candidates from Manatal ATS to Airtable, but I'm running into issues with mapping custom fields. Hoping someone here has cracked this code!

My Setup:

• Trigger: Manatal - New Candidate
• Action: Airtable - Create or Update Record
• Goal: Map individual custom fields from Manatal to specific Airtable columns

The Problem:

In the field mapping, I can see a generic "Custom Field" option, but I need to access individual custom fields by name (e.g., "Salary Expectation", "Years of Experience", "Preferred Location", etc.).

When I test the Manatal trigger, the custom_fields output shows as an empty array [], even though I know candidates in Manatal have custom fields populated.

What I've Tried:

✅ Tested the trigger with real candidate data
✅ Verified custom fields exist and are populated in Manatal
✅ Checked field mapping options - only see generic "Custom Field"
✅ Confirmed I have proper permissions in Manatal

Questions:

1. Has anyone successfully mapped individual Manatal custom fields? If so, how?
2. Does Manatal's API expose custom fields differently? (nested structure, separate endpoints, etc.)
3. Are there any workarounds? (Formatter steps, webhooks, etc.)

Technical Details:

• Manatal API version: 3.0.3
• Airtable API version: 3.10.0
• Custom fields in test data show as: "custom_fields": []

Any insights would be hugely appreciated! I'm happy to share more details about my setup if it helps troubleshoot.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
