Hello,
I have done a zap wich read the rows in my Glide Table. This works, i get in the output the dates, i want to read. Then it should delete this rows, wich are before the actual date. Here it stop the process, but i dont know why. in the simulation it works.
Hi
The screenshots are a bit hard to see.
The Zap Run was filtered at the Filter step.
For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode so we can see the field mappings.
Here you got all steps in the edit mode. Now it run through, but dont delete anything. I want just the date before 17.10.24, but it also got the 18.10.24. what can i do?
There are multiple Zap step configuration issues to address…
After Zap step 2 (Glide Get Rows)
Add a Filter step to check that Rows are returned.
Then add this Zap action: Looping - Create Loop from Line Items
This will allow you to iterate thru each return row from Glide
After the Looping step, add this Zap action: Formatter > Date & Time > Format Date
You need to map a variable from the Looping step that represents the Date.
You need to convert the Date from Glide to be a standardized Date format to be evaluated in the Filter step.
Help link for how to format the date properly: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496030961165-Use-filters-so-your-Zap-only-triggers-on-certain-days-times
Then your current Filter step needs to be adjusted.
Map the variable output from the Formatter step with the correct Date format.
Zap Step 4
Row ID field expects a Row ID.
Map the Glide Row ID from the Looping step.
Click the Row ID field label to see a tooltip.
Then in the Loop i have Values to loop → datum and did the 2. Rows Datum inside.
step 5 Formatter also works with output in the formattet time.
Then 6. i filter the output date time before ID(). But here it just run through, if it have a date before. Also if i have a Date After it run Through? i need to sort them out, that i just delete the date before.
In step 7 i made delete row. → row id 5. Output: the formattet date.
This should work or?
In the Glide Delete Row Zap step 7, the Row ID expects the Glide Row ID to delete.
You need to pass that value from Zap step 2, into the Looping step 4, then from step 4 to step 7.
General concept, map data points representing the array of items from step 2 to step 4, then from step 4 to the steps within the loop.

Step 6 is not configured correctly because for each loop iteration it should compare 1 date on the left side of the Filter step condition, but it comparing all the dates from Step 2, rather than using the date variable from Step 5.
The input value for Step 5 should come from Step 4.
i tried it, but it still dont work. maybe you can help me by discord in a stream?

Still much to be fixed across the Zap steps.
In Zap step 2 for Glide, change this field value to Yes.
NOTE: If Zap step 2 can return more than 500 rows from Glide, then you likely have to use a different approach, since the Looping step has a limit of 500 iterations.
Step 3 should be a Filter with this 1 condition.
Step 4 - Looping - Create Loops from Line Items
From Step 2, map these 2 variables.
Step 5 - Formatter > Date & Time > Format
For the Input field, you need to map a variable from Step 4 that represents the Date (Datum), not the Loop Iteration which has a value of a #.
You need to specify a From Format that matches the Input variable value format: DD.MM.YYYY
You can use the u...] button to switch to “Custom” mode to then enter this value: DD.MM.YYYY
You need a Filter step AFTER the Formatter step.
Condition: p5. Output] (Date/Time) Before T1. ID]
Meaning the output variable from step 5 is a date/time before the ID value from step 1.
Step: Glide - Delete Row
For the Row ID field, map the Row ID from Step 4
Example Glide Row ID value

I recommend taking another careful pass at configuring the Zap steps based on the previous feedback as there are still multiple issues with how the Zap steps are configured.
The Looping Zap step is not configured correctly per the last feedback as it only has 1 variable mapped, but should have 2 separate ones mapped, not concatenated.
Step 4 - Looping - Create Loops from Line Items
From Step 2, map these 2 variables.
For the Formatter step
This is not a valid date input value.
The From Format is still NOT configured correctly as: DD.MM.YYYY
