Hi @Ryan Erisman

Good question.

Try these Zap steps:

Trigger: Wufoo - New Entry
Action: Zapier Tables - Find/Create Record
Action: Paths
Action: Path A
1. Action: Filter
  1. Record found
2. Action: ???
Action: Path B
1. Action: Filter
  1. Record not found (and created)
2. Action: ???

Thanks Troy! When I add a Path though, it seems to automatically insert a “Path Rules” step. What should I set in the fields that it gives me here:

The Zapier Tables Find/Create step should return a data point indicating whether a record was found. (true/false)
