Question

Is it possible to limit the number of daily Feedly articles triggering a Zap?

Is there a way to limit the number of articles in a feed per day when Feedly is used as a ZAP triggerer? The goal is to use as few tasks as possible.

Hi @jsnenon 

Good question.

Which Feedly Zap trigger are you trying to use?

Here is a screenshot

 

The problem is that more than 40 articles appear in the rss feed per day that generates more than 100 actions per day so I want to be able to limit the trigger per day.

Can you provide more details about how you are trying to limit it?

  • Limit to X #?
  • Limit by Filtering for conditions?
  • Limit some other way?

Hi @jsnenon! 👋

It would be possible to filter out the articles based on whether they meet certain criteria. You can learn more about how to set up filters here: 

You might want to also check out our Filter by Zapier Q&A post as that links to a bunch of other resources you may find helpful:


Hope that helps to get you pointed in the right direction. If you run into any issues or questions while setting that filter up just let us know. Happy to help further! 🙂
