Hi @Me_Too 

Try using this Zap trigger: Salesforce - Updated Field on Record

I am using that but I ONLY want it to trigger on records that are not just created, I have another Zap specifically for those. How do I run this ONLY on updated and not on new records?

You can try adding logic that compares the Create Date vs the Update Date then Filter.
