Question

Will a filtered post re-enter the Zap for direct messaging in Bettermode?

Hello Community!

I am working on a Zap for sending direct messages in Bettermode.

What the Zap (should) do:

Send a direct message from me (in Bettermode) if a Bettermode post that is 7 days or older has not been marked as answered.

The problem I am running into:

If a post has entered the Zap and been filtered out, will it be able/eligible to re-enter the Zap? For instance, I don’t want a post that was created yesterday (T + 1 day) to receive a direct message yet. However, in 7 days (T + 7) I would like that post to receive a direct message. My question is: will that post go back through the Zap?
If yes, how can I ensure the action only happens ONE TIME on a particular post? I don’t want that same post to receive multiple direct messages.

Hi @Technolutions

Zap trigger type is instant.

It fires when a new post created in Bettermode.

A post can only be created once in Bettermode, any updates after the post was created would be considered an update to the post.

If you want to check on the status of a Post after 7 Zaps, then you probably need to use different Zap step logic.
