In Zapier or Make, a ___ is the pre-built component that connects to a specific app like Slack or Salesforce.
A connector (called an 'app' in Zapier or an 'integration' in Make) is a pre-built adapter that encapsulates the authentication, API endpoints, and data mapping for a specific service. No-code users pick connectors from a library instead of writing API code.

The Zap starts with a ___ — 'New row in Google Sheets' — that fires whenever data changes.
A trigger is the event that initiates a no-code workflow. Examples: 'new email in Gmail', 'new row in Airtable', 'form submitted in Typeform'. The platform either polls the source app or receives a webhook notification when the trigger event occurs.

The CRM sends a ___ to Make whenever a deal is closed, instantly starting an automation.
A webhook is a real-time push notification — the source app sends an HTTP POST to a URL configured by the receiving platform when an event occurs. Webhooks eliminate polling delay and are the preferred trigger mechanism for time-sensitive automations.

To connect to a private API the no-code tool requires an ___ key configured in the integration settings.
An API key is a secret string that identifies and authenticates requests to a third-party API. No-code tools store API keys in their credential/connection settings so that automations can make authenticated API calls without the user writing any code.

The no-code architect reviews the flow for ___ errors — cases where one app returns unexpected data that breaks the next step.
Data mapping errors occur when the field structure, data types, or format from one app do not match what the next app expects. For example, a date field formatted as MM/DD/YYYY failing in an app that expects ISO 8601. No-code platforms surface these as step errors.
