API Record Validation
When uploading records, certain data types will have validations. For example, you cannot upload a string to a number element. There are currently two APIs, 5.1 and 6.0. They are very similar validations, but there are slight differences between certain elements.
Zapier Record Validation
Since Zapier is built using our API, any record actions will follow our API validations as well. Currently, there are two versions of our zap, 1.0 and 2.0. 1.0 was our first iteration which is no longer available unless you have already built zaps. 2.0 will be the default version when building zaps.
Below is a table of all the validations that are in place when creating/updating a record.
