Hi everyone! Joanne here, Frontend Engineer on the Editor team. I wanted to share with you a small but exciting new feature our team has recently built.
TL;DR
Comparison value for Filter and Paths is now a mappable field!
Details
One of the most popular requests we've been getting from customers is the ability to map a value from a previous step for Filter or Paths. We've now implemented this new feature, and it’s now live!
Use Cases
There are a variety of use cases, but here are a couple:
- Some triggers trigger on both new and updated records. If you want to only pass through new records to the next steps, you need to compare
created_date
andupdated_date
. -
Some of our customers do multiple search actions (
Find Contact
+Find Opportunity
) and then compare if a value, likeOwner
, is the same on both of them.

Please play around with this change on Zapier, and let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
Thanks!
