I am recieving data from an external App (Enalyzer), and I wish to insert it into a Zapier Table, updating data that is already in the table. Whenever an Enalyzer field is empty, it is being transferred as “no data”, and hence does not overwrite if there is already data in the corresponding field in the Zap table. How can I overwrite with an empty field in the Zapier table?

Best,

Lisbeth

Hello ​@DiverseEksperter ,

You can try this solution. Use the Formatter by Zapier → Text → Replace to convert “no data” into an empty string.
Event: Text
Transform: Replace
Input: {{Enalyzer Field}}

Find: no data
Replace: (leave it completely blank)

This should give you an empty string. Do this for every Enalyzer field that might be “no data”.
Then use the Update Record action in Zapier tables and map the cleaned fields from step 1 even if they are empty. 

Hope this helps!

Hi there, ​@DiverseEksperter 👋

Have you had a chance to give that Formatter (Text > Replace) action Sync9-Solutions suggested a try yet? If so, did it do the trick?

Keep us posted on how it went, want to make sure you’re all set! 🙂

Oh my, I didnt notice the reply! Thanks heaps for pinging me, ​@SamB ! My question is though, if it is empty then the result from the step ​@Sync9-Solutions suggested, should be inserted. If there is data in it the field, then this should be inserted instead. Can I use an If-then function for this?

 

Thanks again!

Hi ​@DiverseEksperter ,

Yes, I believe you can use Paths by Zapier for this. You can then add your conditions within the respective paths.
