Hello,
We have a Zap that looks for a New Order (Any Status) on Shopify and then we have a filter to only proceed with Orders that are Paid or Pending. (This was a our solution to make sure both paid and pending orders trigger the zap)
The problem is that we have seen the Zap triggered twice by the same Order, with separate Run ID, and create a duplicate new Item on our Monday board.
What would cause the Zap to be triggered twice by the same Shopify order? How do we fix this?
Hi
Seems as though the triggered Shopify Orders are passing the Filter step twice: 1 for Pending, 1 for Paid.
You’d likely need to additional logic to the Zap to search for an existing matching Monday Board Item.
Unfortunately, the only way to do that with Monday is by using the Monday API: https://monday.com/developers/v2
The Monday API can be leveraged via a Webhook app step: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/integrations#triggers-and-actions
NOTE: This is a more advanced approach and involves technical concepts to implement.
Hi
I would start by taking a look at the data that you get from Shopify when you get a new order - is there anything common between the same order when it’s paid or pending - the order ID for example? If there is, you could try creating your own ‘deduplication table, which is a fancy way of saying ‘make a table that records the information that we get from a Zap and stop the Zap if it’s the same as one we already have. This post has a couple of different options for how you could try that:

This is the SAME Paid Shopify order triggering this Zap two times about 30 seconds apart. You can see the filter for paid or pending is the same… the second Zap shouldn’t have been triggered at all because there is no NEW Paid Shopify order.
It seems like the only way to work around this is to create two different Zaps - one looking for paid orders, and one for pending orders.

Just trying to find the simplest solution here and creating a whole deduplication process seems more complicated than it needs to be.
Hi
I dug into this and it looks like this is a known issue with the beta New Order trigger, I’m sorry about that.
In this case, the best thing to do would be to switch to the non-instant trigger. When a trigger isn’t instant, the delay between the trigger event (in this case receiving a new paid order) and the Zap being triggered will be 1-15 minutes (depending on your Zapier plan). If you go to the Zapier Pricing page, you can see how long it could be between the order and Zap triggering by looking at the update time for your plan.
I’ve added you as an affected user on this bug for the instant trigger. This lets the team know how many people are affected by it and we’ll send you an email when we have an update.
