Does anyone have a trick to loop beyond 500 iterations in a Zapier Loop?

 

We recently switched from polling to a daily schedule trigger and in some cases the number of results that we receive exceed 500 for a daily setting. We could configure the scheduled trigger to run every hour but if the system registers more than 500 updates due to a import then there will be some records that won’t carry over between systems. 

 

 

Hi @Arment!

Zapier does have a limit of 500 iterations in a Loop action, but there are some workarounds that may help you achieve your desired outcome.

 

What is the maximum number of loops I can use?

You can set your looping step to run up to 500 times. If you want your Zap to loop more than 500 times, contact Zapier support to be added to the feature request.

  1. Use a combination of multiple Loop actions: Instead of trying to loop through all the records in a single Loop action, you can split the records into smaller groups and loop through them using multiple Loop actions.
  2. Use a scripting action: Code by Zapier offers a Code action that allows you to write custom code to perform complex operations. You can use this action to write a script that loops through all the records and performs the necessary actions.
  3. Consider using a different trigger: Depending on the nature of your data, you may be able to use a different trigger that doesn't have the 500 iteration limit. For example, you could use a Webhook by Zapier trigger that sends data in batches.
