FAQ
Which Webhooks by Zapier submissions should create TradeVulcan leads?
Use the Catch Hook trigger only for real customer inquiries. Add filters for spam, test records, non-service-area requests, and forms that do not need CSR follow-up.
How should Webhooks by Zapier fields map into TradeVulcan?
Map name, phone, email, service address, requested service, source, campaign/page, preferred appointment window, and the full customer message into TradeVulcan lead fields.
How do I prevent duplicate TradeVulcan leads?
Use the Webhooks by Zapier submission ID, lead ID, or response ID in notes or an external reference field, then add lookup/filter rules for matching phone or email when the source can submit more than once.
