Question

New or updated record trigger seems to be running twice for one manual entry

Hey team,

I have a zap that has a trigger for new or updated tables. This is the zap:

When I manually create a record manually and send the pending record… That zap seems to be triggering twice at the same time (it seems as though it’s triggering once as a new receord and once as a new record). And yes I know there is a loop at the end where it updates the same table and loops around again but that’s not what’s happening here.

Both runs are triggered at the exact same time, the only difference I can see in the actual data coming through is one doesn’t have any data in the “old” record and one does have data in the old record but it’s all null (assuming this is what it thinks is the update).

Seems like unintended behaviour… Thoughts for how to stop it doing this?

Hi @dhtbrowne 

The Zap trigger being used is: Zapier Tables - New OR Updated Record

Triggers when a record is added OR updated on a table.

 

You may need to add a Filter as Zap Step 2 to only continue when certain record conditions are met.
