I have a zap that triggers when a new attachment arrives in my outlook inbox. The zap then processes the attachment via chatGPT to extract any dates and information from it. Creates a new calendar event for each date it finds. The zap also gets the body of the email and passes the email and the chatGPT data to Twilio and sends as a text message. This worked perfectly when testing but now while it is running its sending duplicate texts. Both were triggered by the same attachment at the same time and arrived as a text about a minute apart. I am wondering if this is related to the loop step? 
 

 

Hi ​@kenitafarms 

Actions after the Looping step will run the N iterations of data processed by the Looping step.

Best way to deal with this then would be to move the loop to its own path?

Yes use Paths: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496288555917-Add-branching-logic-to-Zaps-with-Paths
