Hi @mlin28 

Good question.

Check the field description for guidance. (click the more link)

 

Or you can add a Filter as Step 2 in the Zap.

Hi thank you for the response! I tried to click more but it doesn't show me much. I also tried the Filter option but I can’t get get the test record to pull a post from frugalmalefasion. Thus I can’t test the trigger works because the subreddits are wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Try turning the Zap ON and testing live, then check the Zap Runs history details to see the DATA IN/OUT for each Zap step to check if the Filter is working.
