Troubleshooting email mapping issues between LeadConnector and Zapier

"In my Zap, the email field from LeadConnector is not populating during tests. Zapier only shows 'email' as a placeholder, not the real value. I confirmed the LeadConnector contact has a valid email, but it doesn’t map. How can I ensure the test pulls actual contact data and not just placeholders?"

Hello ​@blueshirtmedia 

I’ve seen this happen when Zapier is only pulling in a test sample rather than a real contact record.

You could try re-testing the trigger right after creating or updating a LeadConnector contact that has an email, and use Refresh fields to reload the data. If it still shows placeholders, reconnecting the LeadConnector account can help clear cached fields.
