Notes from Zaps and scenarios that had to run.
Written for operators who already have a stack — and a flow that is empty, duplicated, or “fine in the editor.” Each piece ends with the same offer: send the tools and a sample record.

The scenario is “on,” the history is green, and the next module still gets []. This is usually a search, a filter, or an iterator — not a dead connection.

If the post sounds like your week, send the Zap.
A screenshot of history plus one sample record is enough to start.
