FAQ
What TradeVulcan lead fields should I send to Airtable?
Map customer name, phone, email, service address, service type, source, campaign, lead status, notes, and created date/time so the destination record has enough context for follow-up.
Which Airtable destination record should this Zap update?
Use the Airtable workspace, channel, sheet, board, list, or pipeline that the office already checks for new lead work. Add a Zapier filter when only certain trades, sources, or job values belong there.
How should I test the Create Record action?
Send one recent TradeVulcan lead through the Zap, confirm the destination record appears in Airtable, and verify phone, source, service type, owner, status, and notes with the team member who will act on it.
