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
       }
   };
