Return only updated fields of records in zapier update trigger

In Zappier I could set up only trigger that on any change it notifies me. But I want to configure on specific events or tasks.

We do have a trigger update record in zapier, but it returns all record field, so it is not possible to get what fields were updated

We need to find a way to send updatedFields info, probably by adding a field updatedFields in data in packages/twenty-server/src/engine/api/graphql/workspace-query-runner/jobs/call-webhook-jobs.job.ts based on args provided in the query in packages/twenty-server/src/engine/api/graphql/workspace-query-runner/workspace-query-runner.service.ts Then we should update what Zaps gets from webhooks data, today it get the data.record key which contains all the record -> see here packages/twenty-zapier/src/utils/triggers/triggers.utils.ts

To return only updated fields of records in the Zapier update trigger, follow these steps:

1. Modify perform function in triggers.utils.ts:

   • Locate the perform function.
   • Add logic to filter and return only the updated fields of the records.

     export const perform = async (z, bundle) => {
     const records = await getRecords(z, bundle);
     return records.map(record => {
        const updatedFields = {};
        for (const key in record) {
            if (record[key] !== bundle.inputData.previousRecord[key]) {
                updatedFields[key] = record[key];
            }
        }
        return updatedFields;
     });
     };

2. Adjust trigger_record.ts to use the modified perform function:

   • Ensure the trigger uses the updated perform function from triggers.utils.ts.

     
     import { perform } from './triggers.utils';

   export default { key: 'record_updated', noun: 'Record', display: { label: 'Record Updated', description: 'Triggers when a record is updated.' }, operation: { perform, // other properties } };
