Hi,

i have a problem with Google Docs. I use the append action within a loop because i have to format some text to put after in an email.

Problem is, it kinda overwrite the text and i don’t know why.

In the first screenshot you can see the part of the zap interested, in the second and third screnshot the proof that it overwrite.

How come this happend?

 

Hi @mc_vento 

The Looping iterations run in parallel.

Follow this guide:

About this, it’s not clear to me how it works. I mean, i just do the formatted thing and delay for a minute and it magically works? What’s the correlation between these two steps? i don’t really get it


@mc_vento 

The guide shows how to configure Zap steps so the loop iterations process sequentially in order spaced out.

I modified the code as the guide shows and it doesn’t work. Where do i have to put the output of the Formatter step? I mean, as its written the formatter step is not utilized and the iterations run in parallel and are all delayed by one minute. I don’t understand

We would need to see updated screenshots with how your updated Zap steps are now outlined and configured to have full context.

Here you go:

 


@mc_vento 

You have a static value of 1 set for the Delay.

 

Change it to map the output from the Formatter step.
