How do I set up path rules in Zapier to recognize different budget ranges from a Google Form trigger?

Here is another screenshot of the overall flow

Hi @greysonz1997 

Good question.

This Path Filter is indicating the Path would not have run because the sample test value of 255 does not match the Path Filter conditions, which is correct.

Hi Troy, but I have all these different number rang on the form, and under “Find new records”, I have all the different ones as well but I can only chose one…. How do i fix that?

Help article about using Filters: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help

If the values are like those shown in the screenshots, then you can set the Filter condition to be like this:

[FIELD] exactly matches $150 - $250

Just enter a matching static value on the right side.

Is there a way I can do this with path rules? Or it’d have to be filter

@greysonz1997 

Every Path has a Filter, which has the same logic as a Filter: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496288555917

And I already have it set to exact match. but still not working…. im so confused….

@greysonz1997 

The Path Filter warning is indicating that the sample test values of $900 - $1500 does not exactly match the Path Filter condition of Budget exactly matches $150 - $250.

That logic is correct.

I know that…. so how can i fix it……

Also when I tried to publish the Zap, it is asking me to upgrade my plan, even tho I already paid for the Starter plan?

There is nothing to be fixed.

You are testing a trigger sample value that does not match the Path Filter condition.

If you tried testing each Path Filter, then only 1 should result in a success.

To use Paths in Zaps, you need a Zapier Pro+ plan.

Or you can use separate Zaps with a Filter step instead of Paths.

Troy’s right that there’s nothing to be fixed. This is a common point of confusion. It’s just saying that if this particular record had come through then this path wouldn’t be activated. However, when an actual record comes through it will follow the appropriate path.

Note that one new feature we have is to update the values of the sample record

If you click on that Edit button in the lower right then you can edit the field you want to the value you want. Then when you re-run the path test you should see that a different one passes.

I have the same issue. So @shalgrim and @Troy Tessalone are you saying that…

1. To designate a range of values for a condition all you have to do is use the syntax “number - number” OR “alpha - alpha (ie “200 - 500” or “A - K”). So I can send leads to a specific salesperson based on the company typed in on a webform?
2. The error that results from the TEST is normal and we instead need to trigger the event (in my case the webform) to test the functionality of the Zap path?

Thank you in advance.

1. No. In the example above the “$150 - $250” is an actual value that is coming in the form output. That’s why the path filter says “exactly matches”
2. It’s not an error. All it’s saying is, look, your test value was xyz, but your filter is set up to pass on abc. And abc does not equal xyz. It’s just an FYI. You can edit your test records to match the filter if you want to test the functionality of the path

@Knowi

Probably best to create your own topic with screenshots so it gets proper attention.

If you are trying to use a range then you can use these Filter condition operators:

• Number Greater than
• Number Less than

@Troy Tessalone will do. However, filters do not have “alpha/letters greater than” in the conditions dropdown box

You may have to do additional data prep before you can use a Filter condition and possibly use the concept of a lookup table instead of a Filter:

• Lookup Tables - RESOURCES
