Automate It with Zapier

Now that we've created our first Zap, it's important that we elaborate on the different types of fields that you may see in Zapier action steps.
In the last section, we covered the two general types of fields, Choose value… and Type or insert…, and how to use them to map fields in your Zaps. In addition to these two general field types, there are five different field data types that only allow you to add data in specific formats. Each field data type is represented by an icon, as shown in the following table:
