If you are not seeing a list of fields or if the event id displays as <em>no-new-events<\/em>, that event cannot be used to test the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix that, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select another event (if any)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a new event on your site \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Refresh the page where you are testing the trigger on zapier.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The freshly created event should appear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select it and look for those mappable event fields<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Selecting an event that lets you see all the mappable fields is necessary for Zapier to &#8220;know&#8221; what it&#8217;s working with. Real event data acts as an available data template for Zapier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> the same concept applies to Event Tickets triggers (attendees, tickets, ticket orders).
