Filter stops scenario rather than move on to next row

Hi everyone,

I’m running a scenario that takes information from a Google Sheet (watch new rows module) and outputs it into various Wordpress modules. When a scenario executes successfully, it updates the last column of the row with a number (the post ID). This lets me know that that row has already been completed.

However, I’m not necessarily going in order down the sheet when I run the scenario manually, so sometimes I run into a row that has already been completed that I want to skip.

Basically, I’d like the scenario to skip rows that contain data in the Post ID column, and only process rows where that column is empty.

To do this, I set up a filter after the first Sheets module with “Does not exist” mapped to the Post ID column, and it works. However, the scenario just stops.

I’d like for the scenario to skip all rows where the Post ID column is not empty until it finds one that is empty and process that one. This way I can avoid creating duplicate wordpress posts when the scenario is set to run automatically.

Any help is appreciated!

2. Scenario blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mappings and settings. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

3. And most importantly, Output bundles

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario, then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download output bundles”.

Save the bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

Uploading it here will look like this:

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted output bundle in this manner:

  • Either add three backticks ``` before and after the code, like this:

    ```
    input/output bundle content goes here
    ```

  • Or use the format code button in the editor:

Providing the output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!
