Key Steps

- Map Data Fields: Map the data fields from the original software to the corresponding fields in the external software.
- Test the Zap: Run a test to ensure the data transfer is working correctly.
- Name the Zap: Use clear naming conventions to label the Zap for easy identification.
- Turn On the Zap: Activate the Zap to start the automated data transfer process.
Cautionary Notes
