Assuming this is a polling trigger - create a synthetic id field that is unique to the update, and make sure that your results are returned in reverse chronological order by update time.
A synthetic id could be object id + last updated timestamp, or object id + version number.
Copy the original id to a new variable so it’s available to users to use in their Zaps
something like
const object_id = id;
id = `${object_id}-${timestamp}` ;
This will force Zapier’s deduper to recognize each update as a new event to process.
An alternative is to use REST Hooks. Then you just send a message to the hook for each update. Zapier applies no deduplication for hook messages.
