Held Zap Bulk Run Order


Hey Zap Team!

Does anyone know if held zaps re-run in bulk are processed in chronological order?

e.g., executing a bulk re-run would process a zap initially run and held at 1:20 PM before a zap run and held at 1:21 PM

Thanks!

Hi @ScottMiller 

Good question.

Believe the only way to be sure would be run each individually in the desired order.

You can open a ticket with Zapier Support for confirmation: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Thanks for the response!

The problem I’m running into is that I need to re-run 3k zaps haha. Do you know if there is any way for me to execute it via a CSV?

Try Transfer by Zapier if the source app is supported: https://zapier.com/app/transfers

Otherwise, you can create a Zap to process a CSV file, but that has a limit of 500 records. (could chunk up the main file)

Alternatively, a more advanced approach is to create a looping Zap to iterate over a GSheet or Airtable Base, but that can be Task intensive.

Hey friends! I wanted to pop in and confirm Troy’s statement and share what was mentioned in the ticket!  

When replaying tasks from the Zap History, when releasing tasks we don't guarantee the order that the tasks get released in, unfortunately.
 
That being said, I can understand how something like this would be beneficial to users such as yourself. I want to make sure that your voice is heard here, so I've gone ahead and submitted your feedback and this ticket to our internal database, which our Platform Teams use when looking to make improvements and changes to Zapier.

If and when this gets implemented we’ll be sure to keep this topic in the loop as well. Thanks so much!
