6. In the Big Cartel Last Name field, select the corresponding Outgrow calculator/quiz field from the drop-down menu. Similarly, map other fields from Big Cartel to corresponding fields from the Outgrow calculator or quiz.

Note that Outgrow allows you to map many fields so you can see a wide range of options below. To view the options that are available click the icon on the right side of the input field. Usually you will map the email field, the name field and the Source field (in this case would be outgrow) but you can also map the UTM source and other UTM fields, which signals the source of the traffic that came to outgrow. Other common fields to map include the Result values, the Calculator name, responses to certain questions and City information so that you can assign the lead to sales people based on their territory.

Pro Tip 1: if you cant find the field you want in the drop down you can use the search field that appears right above all the options.

Pro Tip 2: Make sure that the field types in Big Cartel are text input or string fields so that there is no mismatch between the field types.

Pro Tip 3: Any custom field added to Big Cartel will appear here. For example if a specific question in the calculator is about marketing budget but you dont have a field in Big Cartel for marketing budget you can create a custom field and then map the response to that question in Outgrow to the custom field in Big Cartel.

7. Click Save + Finish.

Now, test the Zap to make sure it works. Once you’re satisfied with the results, new entries from your selected Outgrow calculator or quiz will automatically create a corresponding Big Cartel lead.
