Hi all,
 

I've created a zap that gets triggered when updating or adding records in a Zapier table.

Inside the zap, I use an action that increments a number (Count Times Published). However, the incrementing of the values triggers the zap again and causes an infinite loop.

Is it possible to exclude certain table columns for the trigger to listen to?

regards

Hey @GMS ,

 

Yes, this is possible by using Filter by Zapier. You will have to filter by some unique value which is uncommon between both the zaps.

 

Can you share a screenshot of the Zap that you have created?

Hi and thanks for your reply… sure, here is a screenshot attached.

Do you mean this can be done with 2 separate cooperating zaps?
 

 

Hi @GMS 

Try adding a Filter as Step 2 that checks the record new data VS the record old data to see if there was a change for the desired field(s) that you want to watch in order for the Zap to continue.

 

 

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for.
Quite handy those New and Old data handles. 

Regards

That’s awesome @GMS! A huge thanks to Troy for pointing you in the right direction!
