Hello everyone I’m having an issue to handle the case of a failling step.

I have a bussiness number.
Then I want to use that bussiness number to retrieve data about that particular bussiness.
When I have a valid number all is good and my zap work.

 

However when I have an unvalid number the step fail.
 


And then when I go through my pass, since the steps has failled I can’t use it.
 


Any idea how can I filter if a step was passed or failed?

 

Thank you.

What happens if instead of using Boolean values (true/false) you use Exists and/or Does not exist?

Hi @Rigawel 

Good question.

 

Looks like the Zap step logic may not be coded correctly behind the scenes as it should always return a success and indicate whether a match was found (true/false).

 

Most apps on Zapier are built and maintained by the app developers themselves, so you may need to reach out to Pappers Support.

 

Or you can try using the Pappers API: https://www.pappers.fr/api/documentation

Hi santeri,

 

I tried to do that, and same outcome.

Since my step fail, all the following one that use data from this step can’t launch either.

Hi Tessalone,

 

I think I’ll have to follow this way I guess. Or maybe I could use a webhook directly instead of using the connector.

Thanks for the help.
