I want to initiate a Zap when an email is received from a client, but  do nothing when the email is from an address not on the client list.

Can this be done in Zapier?

Thanks -- looks like I can do a lookup in a spreadsheet for the email and stop the process if not found.

    Hi @ssm 

    Good question.

    Try adding a Filter as step 2 in the Zap.
