Triggers

Change the criteria that start your Zap actions. Ensure that the trigger event correctly represents the action you want to initiate.

Actions

Filters and Paths

If your Zap has filters, you can tweak the conditions that need to be met, or edit paths if your Zap branches into different scenarios based on specified criteria.

Once you've made your changes, it's crucial to test the Zap to confirm it works as intended. Click the 'Test' button typically found at the end of each component section.

Step 6: Turn the Zap On
