Google Calendar - only want it to run when an exising event is UPDATED

Google Calendar - only want it to run when an existing event is UPDATED. The only trigger available is “new or updated event” but it runs on every NEW event too. I’d love if there was a trigger that was “Updated Event Matching Search”

Wish I could select a custom value in a filter

Would be great to select a value vs entering manuallyI am attempting to send a Slack DM at the end of a process. I’m using two counters in Storage to keep track. One is called counter_pending, the other counter_generated. I was hoping to compare the two at this step of my Zap and if they are equal, then let someone know the process is finished. However I can’t configure the filter to only continue if two Storage keys match. I’m sure I’ll figure out another way to approach this but it made me realize for the first time that this is not possible with a filter and I wish it was.

Duplicates

Hello,   i have zapier setup to capture data from an Iauditor report and for that data to be added to a google sheet. My issue ism some of the data i eed, i just need it if theres a change. For example, i need to know if a store has cooler in it, if it does, we mark Yes, it captures that data and logs it. On the next visit, if the store still has the cooler, we answer yes, i dont need that to be duplicated in the sheet. Is there a way to make this happen?

Using the Custom value for Worsheet ID in a Google Sheet zap

My use case: I have a google sheet with logs for lots of different campaigns, and I need to copy the logs for each value in a different sheet. I don’t want to use branches because there are a lot of values, so I’d like to use the custom value for the worksheet ID. I used the gid for the worksheet here (i tested and the id works), but 1/ no values show up, so I don’t have any way of mapping what data goes in the sheet and where 2/ when I ran the zap I got an id and a row, and no data actually pushed in the sheet... Please help! alivia

Stripe - > Mailchimp

Hello! Hope that someone can help me with this!This is what I want to do:When New customer subscription is created in Stripe (customer.subscription.created) , add subscriber to a tag in Mailchimp (Mailchimp then sends an email to the subscriber)Purpose of this connection is to send a Welcome email to all new customers with a subscription. However, I noticed that Mailchimp only sends to customers already subscribed to the audience. The thing is that the customer comes from Stripe, and not from Mailchimp to Stripe, so they doesn't exist.../Mathilda

Why is Zapier unlisted on the Shopify App store?

I am trying to connect shopify with an integration. I already have Zapier in my list of apps, but hadn’t been using it. Now when I try to use it, Shopify posted this message:  “Zapier isn’t listed on the Shopify App Store Shopify hasn’t reviewed this app. Be sure you trust this developer before you install.”

Custom Value Not Working

I've got a multi step zap that creates dropbox folders, new trello boards and more based on information inputted into a field in Sign Request. It works perfectly.However, I when the zap runs (after getting a signed sign request) and the new trello board is created with the name pulled from sign request, I want to create a new list in that newly created board called "Trello" - I tried doing this with a custom value but I get the following error message:What am I getting wrong? In the above example, my sign request (first step of the multi zap) has a field that the user completes (their company name) which is used to create a trello board of the same name. Within that board, I want to automatically create a new list called "completed" as part of the multi step zap.Help! I am not a coder by the way!

Updating a spreadsheet on Google Sheets from supplier wholesale price list

Hi All, Looking for help on how to update a in-house order spreadsheet on Google sheets, from supplier price list. The inhouse order spreadsheet is used to calculate the total cost of the orders before the order is placed with the supplier. Every time a supplier has a price change the internal in-house order spreadsheet has to be edited to reflect this.  This takes a very long time as some sheets have 600+ rows.  Also the manual process collects lots of errors from human data entry.  Having a app to do this would be fantastic! The in-house order spreadsheet has: been edited from supplier spreadsheet removing unstocked items and removing unnessary columns of unrequired data adds additional columns for item’s unique data for max and min shelf quantity, and notes order spreadsheet retains original supplier sku The ideal process to update inhouse order spreadsheet: Download the supplier price list as .xlsx (or .pdf which would be converted to .xlsx either by online service or Zap app) Edi

Update status issue on Jira is not working

Hey there! I'm trying to sync moved cards in Trello to reflect in Jira. The steps I did so far in the zap: identify card moved to list in Trello find issue in Jira filter (match with project name) update issue in Jira But this last step is not working. I get the error 'Zapier had trouble retrieving custom fields from Jira Software Cloud.' when selecting the Issue field (though it brings the status list). Then, when testing I get 'Could not obtain the list of editable fields from JIRA'. Any ideia of why is it happening and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Creating a zap

I am new to Zapier and on the trial version at this stage but I don’t believe that is the issue. When I create a Zap (to import new contacts from Rezdy to Sendinblue), it allows me select multiple fields such as Firstname, Lastname etc, but when the Zap runs it has only brought across the email address (which is the identfier). If I go back and edit the Zap, it appears it hasn’t saved the fields I want to bring across. Am I doing something wrong?

Zapier Account Disappeared! All zaps gone!

When I logged in earlier, all my zaps disappeared and the paid account I have said I was back into pro trial. I am not sure what’s happening and I haven’t heard from support yet. Has anyone had this experience before? I am really hoping it’s just a big and everything will be restored.

"Find Data" not finding data for GitHub app

I created a straightforward GitHub→Slack zap, but something is going wrong with the first (GitHub) step. The “Find Data” operation worked once, when I set the zap up, but since then it hasn’t been able to retrieve any new issues. The “We're checking for a new issue in GitHub. Create a new issue in GitHub. We'll keep trying for 3 minutes.” notification shows up, but no new samples are returned. The zap also doesn’t get triggered, though loads of issues are being created. Under “Customize Issue”, I’m filtering only on “Organization”. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with the GitHub app?

Back Referencing A Zap

My organization uses Wufoo to accept talent applications for performers. We ask them to upload three music files to showcase their talent and three photos of the artist or group. I would like to set up a Zap that will create a folder whenever a new entry is made using the artist name AND THEN put the uploaded files into that folder.  I can’t find a way to reference the folder when uploading the files as it doesn’t exist until the trigger happens. Any suggestions? Thanks, Frustrated in ATL

Filter On Exact Number

I need to create a filter that checks for an exact number value. E.g., 23.567. The Zapier filter does not have a ”(Number) Equal to” expression. Only “Greater than” or “Less than.” The “(Text) Exactly matches” expression does appear to work for a floating-point number, but is that the correct method to use considering that I am actually comparing a number and not text?

How do you know when to automate something?

Hey there, community members! I'm the managing editor here at Zapier, and we're working on an article about how to know when something you do is a good thing to automate. We've got our own ideas about it, but wonder if any of you have criteria that help you decide when to make a Zap to replace a manual process. If we love what you have to say, we might reach out to get more information for the article.Thanks!

How do I replay tasks that I missed by accidentally pausing my zap?

I left my ZAP turned off yesterday and I have maybe 20 leads in SurveyGizmo that need to be moved to a Google Drive Sheet.What is the easiest way to grab those leads and play the tasks? When I go to "edit" zap, I am able to pull random records and just a few at a time. I would like to grab those records that didn’t get pulled and play those 20 tasks at once. Thanks.
