How do I push data to custom fields using Zapier?

Yes, you can. 🙌

Through Zapier, you can push data to custom fields on accounts, contacts _and_ opportunities.

# How does it work?

On all account/contact/opportunity related actions in Zapier, you will find a section called 'Custom Fields'.

In the left box, put the name of the custom field you've created in Settings \> Customize fields \> Account/Contact/Opportunity in Salesflare.

In the right box, pull in the data from a previous step of your zap.

To update another custom field, press the plus sign on the right and follow the same process.

​**It's not possible to update the following custom field types through Zapier: tags, dropdown, multi-select dropdown, auto-complete and files.**

The rest of the custom field types are fair game. This includes the types "account", "accounts", "contact", "contacts", "user" and "users", provided you find their id in a previous Zapier step.

To find out more on all the possibilities, read our article on [custom field types](/en/articles/2321233-can-i-make-different-types-of-custom-fields).

Continue setting up the rest of your zap and turn it on. 

It's easy as that!
