 * Hi Zapier and WP Community,
 * I think it is great that Zappier has created this plugin to streamline the handshake
   between the WordPress REST API and Zapier so we can all connect with many other
   applications without code.
 * I have four different custom post-types on my site which I created with CPT UI.
   My post types are obviously set to “Yes” in “make available in API” and I entered
   WP_REST_POST_Controller as the controller (understanding that is the standard
   way to connect the content, unless you make your own controller).
 * My custom-post-types show up in Zapier, but the content fields don’t. Just the
   post type and nothing more.
 * I am have searched both the CPT UI documentation as well as the Zapier documentation
   and WordPress API documentation and most of it is above my skill level and make
   me feel like I have to learn understand code and the inner workings of WordPress,
   which kind of defeats the purpose of using Zapier as a solution NOT to have to
   learn/ understand all this.
 * So what am I doing wrong? Or what am I not doing what I should be doing to make
   this work?

 * Update: I was able to move forward with my project by diving in and learning 
   how to achieve doing it by myself. I am using WordPress Auth-app-plugin to handle
   the “handshake” with my database application, but I understand that WordPress
   is working on making this part of its core.
 * With lots of these things, when you are an early adapter, things are harder to
   achieve. My guess is that over time, Zapier and its competitors and/or WordPress
   will make things easier.
 * All I can say from a personal point of view that I am disappointed with the lack
   of commitment from Zapier at this moment.
