On the When this happens ... stage, search for Webhooks using the search bar then click on the icon named Webhooks by Zapier.
This will show the trigger option. Expand the drop down menu under Choose Trigger Event option then select Catch Hook.
Press Continue. Zapier will then give you a Custom Webhook URL. Copy it.
Go to your Compass Wave account. Go to Settings > Tools.
Click on Integrations under the Estimate Tool section.
Paste the link you copied from Zapier under the field Zapier Webhook URL then click on Save Changes.
Next up, create a data for the zap you're creating to find it. Click the link to your Estimating Tool on the next page.
Fill out the fields as you go and hit the Continue button. At the final step, click on the Get Estimate! button.
Go back to Zapier and hit the Continue button.
Click the Test & Continue button in the Find Data Zapier section.

Don't forget to turn on your Zap using the toggle button found on the upper right corner of the screen.
