Filter by specific URL from Paypal trigger


Hello
I created my zap between Paypal and Google Sheet, what I would like to understand however is if it was possible to give an exact url to Paypal.
I have an ecommerce that sells and accepts payments via Paypal, I am collaborating with an influencer who sells through a landing page separate from the site, I would need to track only its sales and thanks to Zapier and Google Sheet enter the data of those who buy from 'influencer in a google sheet that I will then turn to the courier for the delivery of the product.

this is the landing of the influencer, I need all the order of this page are processed via Paypal and create a Google sheet for the courier, and after a thank-you mail for the costumer.

First is the Paypal and Google sheet

Is there some other data point that indicates the source of the PayPal transaction that can be used in the Filter criteria?

Maybe the name of the Wine can be useful

I have tried to use a Word of the product but the filter don’t find it, strange

Make sure to reference this help article about changing the trigger data used to configure and test the Zap: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/change-the-test-data-in-your-zap-trigger

 

Otherwise, check your Zap Runs history details for the DATA IN/OUT for each step in a triggered Zap to troubleshoot the Filter conditions: https://zapier.com/app/history/

Thanks for your reply, I tried to create a Filter, what I want is create it for a word in the name of product; problem is I can’t create it, I don’t have the option about the word :(

Just wanted to hop in here to summarize the answer for anyone looking to do the same!
 

As discussed above, we don’t see the URL for the page the purchase came from, so the product name would need to be used instead. The Item Names field would contain the names of any products purchased. So, in the Filter by Zapier step you’d select the Item Names field from the PayPal step. Then select the (Text) Contains condition and type in the actual name of the product you’d want the Zap to continue for.

Here’s an example of how that would look:

In the example above, the Zap would only continue on to the next steps in the Zap if a product called “Blue Product” was ordered.
