Hi Zapier Community.

I am looking for a consult to help me be more efficent in zapier. I have created roughly 50 Zaps, some with 80 steps.. I am finding I am losing a lot of efficency by having to use the formatter tool quite a lot. I wish there was a way to have the formatter do multiple actions at a time instead of 1 at a time… but maybe I am wrong. 

Either way is there is anyone keen to help me please shoot me a message. 

I have some zapier knowledge so you are not talking to a complete newbie.

Thanks
B
