In another thread, it’s stated that Zapier will only pull in the “last 3” records for testing purposes, but in my case, the last 3 records are useless, as they wouldn’t get past the filter step. I need a way to pull records that are useful for testing. Thanks!

How to pull useful test records in Zapier
Best answer by Troy Tessalone
Hi
The trick is to do this:
- Create a Zap with a Filter as Zap step 2 with a condition that will never pass
- Turn the Zap ON
- Test the Zap to produce a live Zap Run
- Go to the Zap Run history
- Select the Zap Run
- Use the [...] button to choose the option: Use as test record
- Edit the Zap
- Go to the Zap trigger step TEST tab
- Choose the Zap Run record now available
- Configure the Zap
- Publish the Zap

Hey
Try to use previous Zap runs as test records- https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/35632951078029-Use-previous-Zap-runs-as-trigger-test-records. Otherwise you would have to submit some test records so it shows up in Zapier. Hope it helps!
