Use button fields in Zapier Tables

Button fields in Zapier Tables allow you to trigger Zaps or run actions on a Zap from a table by clicking a button. Each button acts only on the record it’s related to.

 

Trigger Zap

This type of button sends the specific record to a Zap as a trigger. 

  1. Click the plus sign formAdd icon that appears on the right side of a table.
  2. In the Field Type dropdown menu, select Button. Trigger Zap is the default button type.
  3. Enter a Default label for the button. 
  4. Click Create.
  5. Once the field is created, click the field name
  6. Select Create Zap. A pre-populated Zap will be created, and you can set up your Zap actions.

 

Continue Zap

This button sends an action to a Zap. You can define up to two different actions for the same field. 

  1. Click the plus sign formAdd icon button that appears on the right side of a table.
  2. In the Create Field sidebar, enter a name for the field.
  3. In the Field Type dropdown menu, select Button.
  4. In the Type of Button dropdown menu, select Continue Zap.
  5. Enter a Primary Button Label for the button. If using a second action, enter a Secondary Button Label.
  6. Once the field is created, click the field name
  7. Select Create Zap. A pre-populated Zap will be created. You can set up your Zap trigger and any other actions.

This type of button only becomes available once the Zap has been triggered, and all subsequent actions in the connected Zap will be held until the Continue Zap button is clicked.

You can also create Zaps that automatically add information to a table from another app or that start a workflow when there's a new or updated record on the table.
