Yes. You can map multiple fields in Zapier and use batch-like patterns where supported. For complex updates, combine multiple actions in a single zap.
No heavy coding is required; you configure triggers and actions in Zapier and supply simple API key or OAuth credentials. Some basic familiarity with API concepts helps.
Test connections directly in Zapier during setup and by making test requests to endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId. Check responses and error messages.
For People HR data, the most effective endpoints are GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to keep records in sync.
Yes. You can create tasks via Zapier by using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and then reference the task in subsequent actions or triggers.
