  4. Trigger is the software sending the data, type in TicketSpice and select.

  5. Choose The Trigger Event TicketSpice has 3 trigger events: new order, new ticket, and new donation.
    - New Order: Lists the available financial information such as billing details, transaction reference, order number, and check-out total. Will also list ticket count in order and merchandise information.

    - New Ticket: Lists questions asked for each ticket, billing info, transaction info, and merchandise info.

    - New Donation: Will list donation information fields, donation amount, date, were fees covered, how much were the fees, is it a recurring donation, and the recurring date. Registration information and billing are also included.

  4. Set Up Action is where your creativity can be put on display. The title sections you are seeing are from Gmail.
    - When you click in the search section you are selecting the TicketSpice field that will be the data point to match to Gmail.
    - Pro Tip: You can click into the search bar and type in the name of the field you are looking for.

    Zapier inserting data into a field

    For a field like CC or BCC, this will most likely be a standard admin email that is not collected on the event page. Typed in those email addresses you want to keep in the loop.

    The body section is the part where the email is created. This is where you can add in TicketSpice fields from your page to fill in parts of the email that you want to be customized based on the submitted information from your customer.

  5. Test the Zap and turn it on if you are ready for it.
