Click on each field to map the corresponding data from the Google Sheets trigger. For example, select the email field from Google Sheets for the WordPress email field, and do the same for username, password, first name, and last name. This ensures that the correct information is sent to your WordPress site.

• Map the email from Google Sheets to the email field.
• Map the username from Google Sheets to the username field.
• Map the password, first name, and last name accordingly.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the data to WordPress and create a new user based on the information provided in Google Sheets.
