It is important to note that when the object(s) you want to trigger on or off on the platform of Salesforce is not visible in the dropdown menu, choose the option of “Custom Object”. After clicking on the option, you will be directed into the Zap editor where you will be given chance to choose the custom object you want to trigger on or off on the platform. Follow the same procedure if you want to create a new object on Salesforce Zapier.

However, it is also important to note that though you free to choose any object on the Trigger side of the interface, you will be limited with customisation on the Action side. When you are trying to turn off or create an option on the Action side and you see no fields further or are simply shown the option to “continue”, it would mean that you are not allowed to change that particular object. In such a situation, you can either choose to select another custom object to make changes into, or get in touch with the administrator to make relevant changes in the system, allowing the addition or deduction of the concerned option.
