Dear community,

 

I want a zap to run based on a trigger if a specific field is updated.
This text field can be already empty or already filled in. 
Once this field is updated (manually oustide of Zapier), I want the trigger to run and follow the zap steps (like send an email).

 

I do not understand how I can do that / which steps to set this up. Can I do this with the “filter by Zapier” option?

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi @Marvin1234 

Have you created the trigger? If you have not, read this article: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics

When creating a trigger, if your app supports, you should be able to select on which field update to look for. If your app’s trigger menu doesn’t have this info then when you run the test, look whether there are any history items. For example, Clickup does provide history items so that we can know which field in Clickup was changed. Most of the apps usually do not. Based on history items you can set a filter that does this:

History item field = whatever the field you want to pass through.
