Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.I’ve created an app using appsheet for my drivers to perform a pre and post trip inspection of the school bus they drive that stores the data in a google sheet.  I need the Zap to trigger an email to be sent only when a repair is needed.These are the steps I took in setting up the Zap  Is there something I missed?  I’m getting emails every time they hit submit whether there are repairs needed or not.

Hi @JKeddingtonGood question.The Zap trigger is NEW or UPDATED Row.Zap triggers unexpectedly/rows trigger too soon“New or Updated Spreadsheet Row” trigger behaviorIf you’re using the New or Updated Spreadsheet Row trigger and choose Any column to monitor, any change to a row will trigger your Zap.If you select a specific column, then the Zap will only trigger when there are changes on that column. NoteZaps using New or Updated Spreadsheet Row will also trigger for any new rows in the spreadsheet, even if the specified column is blank.To avoid triggering in those cases, add a Filter step to your Zap.
