I’m trying to stop my Zap from running on old or historical data.

I’ve already tried using the “Created At” field filter and also deleted all errored, delayed, and held tasks, but the Zap still keeps sending notifications for older data.

How can I make sure the Zap only runs for new items created after it’s turned on, and not for any historical ones?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey ​@zenj,

Usually Zap triggers for new data going forward. For us to have more context, can you post screenshots of Data In, Data Out as well as how each Zap step is configured?
