What Do I Do with the Captured Information in Zapier?

The short answer is that you can send an outbound email using the captured information. This involves specifying the recipient, writing an email subject, and incorporating some of the captured data into the body of the email.

Full Explanation

Once Zapier has captured information from a trigger or an event, you have the option to utilize this data by sending it through email. This means customizing an outgoing message to a chosen recipient—this could be anyone you want to notify or keep informed based on your automated workflow. You will not only decide who receives the email but also create a subject line that reflects the content or intent of your message. Additionally, you can include parts of the captured information within the main content of the email, making the message more relevant and personalized.
