Is it possible to make a drop down menu with zip-codes, where users can choose which zip-codes they want to get a notification from, when a post with this zip-code is postet?
Hope this make sense:-)
Couldn’t they just type the zip code? If they already know which zip code they want, why make them search through a large list when they can just type it directly. For a choice component to work, it would require a table with a row for each zip code.

I would like users to be able to choose to receive a notification when a post is made in their area, instead of having to constantly go in and search the app to see if there is a new post.
I wasn’t saying that they need to search the app for new posts every time. I’m saying they could type the zip code into text entry component instead of scanning through a massive list in a choice component (dropdown), just to find the zip code that they could have typed in less time, or probably would have typed into the choice component search to find the exact same value.
I’m simply just responding to the question you asked. But to answer that question, yes you can create a choice component (dropdown) where users can select a zip code. It’s going to be a large list and use a lot of rows, but yes, you can definitely do it.

Communication is difficult 
I misunderstood. Sorry.
I will try playing around with what you suggested.
Thank you

I’ve tried and tried but I simply can’t get my head around on how to do this with text entry and get same result as in choise component.
Isn’t it just a matter of typing a number instead of choosing from a list of numbers? Both would write the same value to a column in the table.
Like I said, you can still use a choice component, but you need a table that contains a list of all possible zip codes. Depending on how many zip codes, the table could get quite large. I only suggested the text entry as a way to save rows. To me a zip code is just a number. If I already know the zip code I’m searching for, why wouldn’t I just type it in the first place. I’ve never seen a form anywhere on the web where zip codes were presented as a dropdown.
Maybe I need to see screenshots or examples to better understand your use case.
