      • Is it mandatory for the pricing plan to be a free one? 

      It is recommended to use a one-time free pricing plan as you are adding/migrating your users from one platform to the other, but it works with any one-time pricing plan you have created on Passion.io. 

       

      • What happens if I add existing users to the spreadsheet rows?

      The users will gain access to the free pricing plan that you set up in the Zap but will not receive a new password as they are existing users of your app. 

       

      • Can I give the users access to more than one pricing plan in the same zap? 

      Yes! When setting up the zap you can select multiple pricing plans to grant your users access to.
