When a zap triggers, you can set it to do a number of Method:CRM Actions in Zapier.
There are two types of actions Method:CRM you can do:
Search Actions - Actions that will search for and return a record (if it exists) from your Method:CRM account.
Create Actions - Actions that will create a record within in your Method:CRM account.
This article will detail the create actions and list out the information each action expects in order to successfully complete.
For a look at Method:CRM's Zapier Create actions, please see our article Method:CRM Zapier - list of Search Actions.
Method:CRM Create Actions
These are the actions which can create a record in Method:CRM:
Add Activity
Add Customer or Customer Lead
Add Opportunity
Add Contact to Existing Entity - This will add a contact to an already existing customer, lead, or vendor.
Add Generic Entry - This allows you to add a record to any existing table in Method:CRM.
Note that each create action also allows you to insert data into custom fields:
To clarify, these are fields that already exist in the table, and can be stock fields or custom fields you have created yourself. Tables within Method:CRM have a number of fields and they cannot all be listed. However, the above allows you to enter data into any field of the table.
On the left text box, you will enter the field name. This must be spelled exactly, and must already exist in the table.
The dropdown box on the right allows you to specify the data you wish to enter into the field.
The plus and minus allows you to add or remove fields.
