How to POST data into your CRM from third party integration using Zapier?
For example you have 3rd party integration with Zapier and you are getting data from 3rd party and would like to load this data into system. This article will show you step by step guide on how to that.

Tracks show you the 'Path' connecting your contacts/leads/customers/callers flow through across all your Websites, Forms, API's, and Phone Numbers.
Creating a Track:
- Go to Track and Click on Add Track as mentioned in below screenshot:
Once you click on Add Track you will see a pop up to choose what you would like to add in Track. In this example we would like to create a contact using 3rd party integration. So we are selecting Contacts as a Track
Once you select contact, click on Create Input Button
You will see below screen where you can provide a name to your Track:
Once you provide the name, then click Save
