Hi all,

I want the flow to be the following:

  1. Every day (zapier schedule)
  2. Copy all new data added to a google sheets from the previous day
  3. Upload that data into Mailchimp subscriber list

I had steps 2 and 3 working before but we are now getting too may people sign up and we want to limit the uploads to our mailchimp daily vs every time a new row is added in google sheets.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @Alex B 

Good question.

It will actually use more Zap Tasks trying to schedule vs triggering once per row.

 

ZAP

  1. Trigger: GSheet - New Row
  2. Action: Mailchimp - Add/Update Subscriber

This uses 1 Task.

So 100 rows = 100 Tasks.

 

ZAP

  1. Trigger: Scheduler - Daily
  2. Action: GSheets - Find Row(s)
  3. Action: Looping - Create Loop from Line Items
  4. Action: Mailchimp - Add/Update Subscriber

 

This will use 1 Task + 2 Tasks per found GSheet Row.

So 100 rows = 201 Tasks.

Thanks @Troy Tessalone but I’m still struggling (my fault).

 

I want to add all new e-mails under the column headed Email each day but for some reason the test fails. I have attached a screenshot of the way in which I’m filling it out. I don’t have a day or date for the spreadsheet so maybe this is causing an issue?

 

Thanks again,

Alex

@Alex B 

Make sure to review my previous comments showing how many more Tasks this approach will use.

 

You are trying to use the Lookup Column (Email) and search for a Lookup Value (Submitted At).

I’m guessing the Email column in the GSheet has email addresses and not values of “Submitted At”, which is why no results would be returned.

Thanks @Troy Tessalone so I just need to put in any random e-mail address under look up value here for it to work?

No, you’d need another column on the GSheet that has the date the row was added.

e.g. Run Today, find Yesterday’s Date
