I have a backup system that will email me when the backup is successful or fails. However, if the backup system stalls, neither condition is met. Is there any way to create a zap that will notice that an email with specific criteria hasn’t arrived within 30 hours? This would indicate that a backup job has stalled, since they come in roughly every 24 hours.

Hi
Good question.
You could create that using Zapier Tables or GSheets or Airtable.
The concept would be to use 1 Zap to log each email you get with a timestamp and some common lookup value.
Then use another Zap that is triggered on a Schedule to find the most recent row and compare it to the current timestamp to determine the time different.
Use the Zap action: Formatter > Date & Time > Compare Dates
Follow that by a Filter step.
Excellent! I will followup on idea and see if I can get it working. Thank you so much for replying.
