The Problem

Title may seem a bit confusing. What i would like to accomplish is an even spread of the same trigger down different paths with no condition. 

For Example: There are 10 zaps that happen and there are three paths. Path A, B, and C. 

The first zap runs and goes down path A, the second zap runs and goes down path B, the third zap runs and goes down path C. But then the 4th zap runs and goes down path A, the 5th down B, and 6th down C and so on. 

But the catch is that there is no condition separating these they simply alternate between paths in order as they come in. 

The Goal

The goal of this is to evenly distribute an onboarding task within ClickUp between team leads when a new client completes their first payment. 

What I’ve Tried

I’ve considered dividing them based on the date when an action was taken, so path A is on Mondays, Path B Tuesdays, Path C Wednesday etc. This wouldn’t be a viable solution as clients onboard more often on Mondays and this would skew the amount of tasks created down path A. And i would like an even distribution amongst all paths again with out any condition between them.  

 

I hope that this makes sense, and any reply with potential solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @SalonJay 

Good question.

Sounds like you want to do round robin assignments.

You may not need paths.

 

Setting up a round-robin in Zapier can be accomplished in several ways, depending on your specific needs and the tools you're comfortable using. Here are a few methods, each with detailed guides on how to implement them:

  1. Basic Round-Robin Setup:

  2. Round-Robin Randomizer Using Code by Zapier:

  3. Single Step Round Robin with Storage by Zapier and Code by Zapier:

Each guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the steps involved in setting up a round-robin system in Zapier, allowing you to distribute tasks or leads evenly among a team. The choice of method can depend on the complexity of your requirements and your familiarity with coding in Zapier.
