    I haven’t been able to test it yet – but is there a way to just do a straight up Find as the ‘Trigger’?  That is, a Find that doesn’t also require that it be ‘new’?

    The goal I was attempting to achieve was to find records that had been modified within a certain time frame (e.g. the past hour).  If I can only search amongst ‘new’ records, then that excludes records that were simply modified, of course.

    Do you know if that behavior, running the ‘action’ for every record, only applies to the Trigger event’s records?

    When I do a Schedule -> fmGateway Find -> Slack DM   Zap I’m only getting 1 message.  When I test the same Find query using Postman, I get 6 records back from the Data API.  So I would assume that the fmGateway Find results in the same record count.  Unfortunately I’m only getting 1 Slack message out of it.

    Here’s the outline of the Zap (attached).

    When I set up a Zap using fmGateway’s ‘New Records’ step, it did send a separate Slack message for each new record that it found.

    I have not been able to find a specific Zapier ‘app’/action that would explicitly loop over the results from a previous Step and feed those results into a different Step, one at a time.

    <span style=”caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium;”>In my original testing, if my Find step (using fmGateway) returned multiple records, a follow-on Action step (e.g. send Slack direct message), would only send 1 message.  I would like it to send a separate message, 1 per each record found, using data from within each record of the found set.</span>

    I haven’t found a Zapier specific looping construct.  But curiously, using the fmGateway ‘New Records’ action, I do get separate messages for each new record that it found.  I’m testing that with a ‘Find’ operation.  (Up to now, I haven’t gotten multiple messages as a result of multiple found records.)

    Woot!  It looks like it has already been updated.  When I tested it I got one of the records that I expected.  Excellent!

    As a side note – do you have any tips for getting the Zap to iterate over multiple records returned from this Find?  I’ve just started looking into it.

    Cool!  Glad there was a specific issue.  I’ll keep testing it an see how it goes.  (I don’t suppose that there’s anyway for me to explicitly test/see what version of fmGateway I’m getting?)

    Well, it’s probably not an issue of just being done in the test sandbox – when I run this Zap from the dashboard (or when it ran automatically) it also only gave me information from the first record in the table – which shouldn’t have been returned by the Find query.

    So that seems to leave fmGateway as the only remaining variable.  I’m pretty sure that I have configured things correctly in the Zapier config page for the Find query…

    I did some further testing.  I am able to query my DB directly via the DataAPI (using Postman) with this query criteria:

    {“z_StatusModifiedTS”: “>=06/14/2018 09:10:00”}

    But when I try this string in the “z_StatusModifiedTS” configuration field of the fmGateway Zap…

    >=06/14/2018 09:10:00

    …the test record returned is the first one in the table and does not match the Find criteria.  (When I put quotes around it, it was giving me an error.)

    Is this just an artifact of the Zap test step – it’s not really fully running the query?

    I’ve enabled the Zap and will see if things work as hoped; it should run in about 15 minutes.

    Trying again with the screenshot of my Zapier Find request field definition.
