Exporting data from Zapier Tables as RSS or HTML

Hi,

 

I’m looking to do something that I feel should have a simple solution, but am running into a bunch of barriers.

 

I have data in Zapier Tables. On a button press in the Interface, I want some of the table data (various rows, etc) to be exported in an organized manner as an RSS post (which involves listing it out into HTML).

 

The issues are that I’m not finding a way to order the Tables Data within the Zap. For example, searching only yields Line Items for each column, meaning that it displays as Column 1 (value 1, 2, 3, etc). What I need is to transform that into Row 1 - Column 1 value, Column 2 value, etc

 

Even working with the line items as they come in from Tables is a bit painful, and I’ve experimented with splitting these line items and using loops, but so far have not had any luck actually just re-ordering this information. I’ve done far more complex things on Zapier and think I’m missing something easy here!

So, we came up with a much different approach to avoid such complex zap programming on the export step

 

Instead, we added a column to the actual table with the HTML code. This is a long text field and contains the entire segment of code for that line item. There is an automation that updates this code any time any field is changed on the line item. Then, once the export step runs, it just aggregates all of the HTML lines into the export / RSS content field.

 

So far that is working really well!

Hey ​@ParaMentors,

I think you are on the right track for using Find Rows line items and Looping. But I think if it’s not giving you the desired output, you will have to use Code by Zapier for more advanced data formatting. Here is a helpful article about Code in Zapier action- https://zapier.com/blog/code-by-zapier-guide/. Hope it helps!

Hey ​@ParaMentors, just checking in! Did Sparsh’s suggestion of using a Code action do the trick?

Let us know if you still need any help! 🙂
