Row not found - Zap Halted notification

Question

I have action steps in some zaps that lookup Rows in google sheets.

If the row is not found, the zap is halted.

This happens fairly often (it is expected) and I keep getting "Halted notification" emails, which I then have to open to see which Zap halted.

I could turn Halt notifications off altogether (it is an account-wide setting), but for some other zaps it is important for me to be notified if they are halted.

I could also choose the option "if row not found -> add row", but in this case it is not appropriate.

Usually I would put a filter, but in this case the filter would come AFTER the action, so the halted notification is already triggered.

Does anybody have a workaround so that "If row not found", it doesn't trigger a halted notification?

Assuming you use something like Gmail, could you just setup an inbound filter that archives halt emails from that specific zap?

@Luhhu I did look at this but thought the task history link in the body of the email referred to the actual task - which wouldn't have helped for future tasks. I have relooked and seen that, in fact, the task history link applies to all of the tasks for that zap, so yes, the Gmail filter works. Thank you -problem solved 👍️

Thanks also @Danvers - the workaround above works for now. Would be good to get more granular zap notification controls one day though (but not urgent) 🙂
