## Research questions

### What are the two basic parts of an integration flow?

Zapier describes a trigger event followed by action steps. Name the source event and destination action before comparing connectors; an app logo alone does not define the workflow.

### Why check field mapping?

Zapier's mapped fields pull values from each trigger event into later steps. Verify the actual source field, destination field and example record so a running flow does not put data in the wrong property.

### Where can a failed transfer be investigated?

Zapier points users to Zap history for halted runs and error context. A buyer should confirm what failure detail, replay controls and retention their selected platform and plan provide.

### Does an integration prove downstream completion?

No. A successful trigger and action call must be checked against the destination record and any later process. Zapier's field mapping and run history describe transport steps, not a completed sale or service outcome.
