Skills demonstrated

Making a free Zapier account and knowing which plan it is on, and what that plan allows · Building a form whose field types turn away a malformed enquiry before any automation sees it · Preparing a Google spreadsheet a Zap can write to: one header row in the first row, no blank rows · Building a Zap of one trigger and one action, testing each step, and reading what the test fetched and made · Mapping each field of one app to the right column of another by meaning, not by position · Publishing a Zap and telling a live Zap from a draft · Reading Zap history: which runs happened, their status, what each one moved and what it cost · Seeing what a Zap copies faithfully — a duplicate, a blank — and putting the judgement where the team works · Building a second Zap on the same trigger and knowing what that does to the monthly bill · Budgeting a plan's task allowance: tasks per enquiry, enquiries a month, and what happens at the limit

What was built

Two live Zaps on a free Zapier account, each one trigger and one action, with a run history of successful runs behind them: one that writes every enquiry from your form into a Google spreadsheet, and one that emails you an alert for each new lead. Filed together in a folder, with the form they fire on, the Leads worksheet they fill and a Budget worksheet that says how many enquiries a month the free plan will carry. Four hundred and five guided minutes on the first firm, then two hundred and fifteen independent minutes building the same thing from a brief for a second.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
