I have multiple zaps set up to send emails at 2 weeks, 1 week, 1 day and 45 min before the event, so when I set up an event it will run all of these and send multiple emails if the timeframe has passed.

ie. I set one up today for tomorrow and it sent 3 emails, but I really only need it to send the 1 day and 45 min before emails. How can I get it to skip over the others that are past the timeframe?

Thanks for the help, I don’t even know how to effectively search google for this problem because I don’t really know how to describe it.

There might be a better way to do this but you could try using a datetime formatter step that subtracts the amount of time before the event you want the zap to trigger then compare the output from the formatter step in a filter.

If the start time is before the formatter output time let the zap continue.

So if i want Zapier to trigger 1 week before then something like this should work. You may need to play with the subtraction method to find an acceptable range.
