Has anyone worked out a way to take a list of contacts (maybe in Sheets) and then feed those one by one through a zap periodically. A way to make it one by one a day apart or similar timeframe. 

Or any work around or similar would great, thanks.

Hi @MarkBawel 

Great question, You can do this using our app Delay by Zapier: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-delays-to-zaps

Delay after queue would be the best option here, With this when a Zap is triggered, it adds actions to the queue. The queue then plays the actions one at a time in the order that they were added to the queue. You can define a delay between each set of actions for a Zap.

Your Zap would then look something like this:

  1. New Row in Google Sheets
  2. Delay after queue using Delay by Zapier
  3. Your desired action

Do you think that could work for you here? Let us know if you have any questions!
