How do I combine Storage list values into a comma-separated list across Paths?

AI_hello

I’m using Paths to add users to various email groups, one group per path. At the end of the paths, i have an Always Run path where i want to combine all the groups they were added to in one list, along with any groups they started with, as a list separated by commas.

I’m trying to use Zapier Storage to do this. So in each path, i currently have a step that adds a Child Value for the key “Groups”. And in the final Always Run path, i have a Get Values step that gets the groups that they were added to in previous steps. 

An example path where i’m putting the child value in storage
The final path where i ask it for all the groups

The issue is that i can’t get any tool to format the results as a list separated by commas! This must be such a simple fix, please tell me it’s just end of day brain that’s making me not be able to figure it out.

I tried Formatter to use a Spreadsheet Style Formula or the list-to-text utility, but still can’t get the output format i need.

Thank you for your help!!

Each Run ID is unique, thus each Storage Key is unique, so no need to remove Storage keys after Zap Runs (unless you want to).

 

Plus, this works if Zap Runs are processed in parallel.

Storage will delete keys after 2 months of inactivity.

Hi ​@AI_hello 

FYI: An alternative to Storage is Zapier Tableshttps://zapier.com/apps/zapier-tables/integrations#triggers-and-actions

 

For Storage...

You’ll want to use the Zap Run ID as the unique Storage Key value.

Info about System Variables:https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/36855498205453-Introducing-system-variables 

You’ll need to add Formatter step to remove the - in the Run ID (UUID).

 

You’ll want to use these Storage Zap actions:

  • Push Value Onto List
  • Get List Values

do i need a step that removes the values from storage at the end of the Zap? or is that not needed since the key is now connected to the Run_ID & that will be unique?
