Can someone help? My pipedream is calling OLD events

Help
1

Hey! Thanks for reading this post! I’m hoping to get some help on something. I’m VERY new to Pipedream and it’s awesome abilities, and set up my first flow last night.

I set up a simple connection to call new purchase data from my Buy Me A Coffee page and then update my Flodesk subscriber base with that data.

Everything runs great, except that when I woke up this morning, I saw that it was calling data from old purchases, going backwards of more than 1 month before running out of ‘credits’

I already have this old data, I only want to call NEW purchase data.

Can someone help me figure out what is wrong and how to fix it so that it doesn’t pull from old dates?

I’m not super tech saavy, but I know a few bits and pieces, and with my limited skills, I couldn’t figure out where I went wrong or if this is even a fixable issue.

I’ve attached a screenshot to hopefully show the information I’ve got set up, and here’s the link for the github repository:

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi @jessica,

I understand you want to get only new purchase data from your Buy Me A Coffee page and update your Flodesk subscriber base with that data. It seems like you’re using the “New Item Purchased” trigger from the Buy Me A Coffee app in Pipedream.

To set up the trigger correctly, please follow these steps:

  1. Search for the Buy Me A Coffee app from the trigger menu.
  2. Select the “New Item Purchased” trigger.
  3. Connect your Buy Me A Coffee account.
  4. Follow the instructions on the trigger configuration screen. You may need to generate a test event from Buy Me A Coffee to get real data to test your workflow.

If you’re still experiencing issues with old data being pulled, it might be related to the API or the way the trigger is configured. In that case, I recommend reaching out to Pipedream support for further assistance at https://pipedream.com/support.

Hi @jessica, would you mind accessing your Pipedream Sources Page, access your Buy Me a Coffee source, then share a screenshot of your source log?

Absolutely, thanks so much for responding! I think you’re asking for this log here:

I had to make it pretty small to fit the data on the screen.

Most of the calls just give me that ‘null’ response (I think because my credits are used) but this one here pulled the most recent event because it only saves 100 events and most of them were ‘null’.

Is this helpful?

Thank you so much!

Here is the trigger configuration if that is also helpful:

Hi @jessica, I tried to reproduce your issue but couldn’t, as I only see the new event on my side:

Would you mind create another source and use that for now?
