How to limit Zapier tasks when updating 'last contacted' property in HubSpot?

Good morning all,

i use zapier with the hubspot integration.

my zaps work good,  but i exceed the tasks.

my goal is to: everytime a specif property is updated in hubspot update it in another hubspot account.

For 3 properties no problem , the task are not so  many, but for the property last contacted, which save all the updates of a sent email to the contact, it can be possible that one contact have a conversation with 20 email, so 20 task and it’s easily to exceed the limit.

 

is there a way to set as trigger only one time the property has been updated? and not everytime?

 

thanks for answeing

You would have to add additional logic to track that the Zap has already run for a Contact.

You may be able to do that in HubSpot with a workflow, or as Zap step to update the Contact.

Then you could add a Filter as Step 2 in the Zap to check that HubSpot Contact field value.

 

The Zap trigger is instant and fired by HubSpot each time there is a property change.
