I’ve got a Zap cooking where I need a sequential order number each time the Zap runs. In the past I have done this with a simple Google sheet but I wonder if there is a better way? Is it possible to store a value like 1001 and then, the next time the zap runs, the value would change to 1002, without the use of a Google sheet or similar?

Question: My order numbers will be formatted like so – 220-5YR1001. The next in the sequence being 220-5YR1002. In this case, would I use storage to get the 4 digits at the end and use something like Formatter to add the first half of the number?
If my sequence is to start with 1001, how do I set that initial value? I see an action for setting values. Would I just run a quick zap that sets my storage to 1000 or is there a more graceful way?
A combo of static and dynamic values can be used in a Zap field.
Thus, no need for a Formatter step.
220-5YR[STORAGE_VALUE]
Would I just run a quick zap that sets my storage to 1000 or is there a more graceful way?
Yep, you will need to test via a Zap step to set the initial value.
