I need help. I have a zap to add an email address to my mailing program. The current zap fails if the email address is already on the list. Can I just let this run? The error says I have to put in a filter to branch but that makes the zap not wok in a free account. My charity can’t afford the subscription. What to do?
How to handle duplicate emails in Zap without upgrading to a paid plan?
Hi
To help us have more context, post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.
This is simple. If I get a new contact on my website, add the data to Verticial response if the email is not already in VR. If it is, stop.
No matter what I do, I cannot configure it properly so it will only use one step otherwise the charity will have to pay $200/year to do this.
There is a Zap setting for Error Ration Override to “Keep Running If Error Occurs”, but that requires a Zapier paid plan to be turned ON.

so there is no way to make this work without a paid plan which we cannot afford? We are a pure 501(c)3 charity
You could explore using a different email app that has Zap app actions that support what you are trying to do in Zaps with only 2 steps.
