More Information
Zap Speed
Vextras transfers the information over to Zapier in real-time. Depending on the subscription plan at Zapier, data will flow at the interval supported with your plan.
Multiple Meta Values
You may see multiple values for things like order_id, order_api_OrderID, order_api_sOrderID – they all will work in your zaps.
Legacy Triggers
If you created your Vextras account before 10/23/15, you will need to use legacy triggers when creating a new zap.
