That’s great news, @ARI!

Thanks for letting us know that disabling that setting worked for you! :)

In case you’re using CloudFlare and you are experiencing this issue, disable “Super Bot Fight Mode” and everything will work. 

This one works!!

Hey everybody! I wanted to post a quick update here that this issue has been closed. If you’re still running into problems, your best bet is to contact the Gravity Forms support team. They can troubleshoot the problem, including to see if you’re running the correct versions of WordPress, Gravity Forms and the Zapier Add-On.

Hi, 

We are also being affected by this issue.

We’ve followed the suggested solutions on this thread (removed htaccess entirely, disabled cloudlfare) but none of them worked so far.

This is the log we get:

I’d like to be added to the issue to get notifications on it. 

Thanks.

Hi @RootCause!

I think as far as Bot Fight Mode is concerned, your best bet would be to reach out to the Gravity Forms support team to see if they can confirm that for you. They also have their own Community, where you might be able to find help with that :)

Disabling Bot Fight Mode in CloudFlare fixed it for us.

Obviously this isn’t the ideal solution as we’d like to maintain that CF functionality. Is there an official response to keeping Bot Fight Mode turned on?

Hey @Anne, hope you are well!

I’ve just went in and made sure you were added to the report so that we can be sure to alert you ASAP once there is a resolution.

In the meantime, if you need access to the IP address range for Zapier, that would be all of US-East-1 from Amazon: https://zapier.com/help/troubleshoot/behavior/cant-access-or-use-zapier-with-other-apps

The issue would not be explicitly related to CloudFlare firewall, but any firewall that may be configured to block our IP address range. Sometimes hosts of a domain may automatically have blacklisted IPs from Amazon and this can cause issues as well.

That said, this particular bug is a top priority right now and we are actively working with Gravity Forms to help find a resolution for all of our users. Also, it can be beneficial to reach out to Gravity Forms directly as they are also collecting relevant Gravity Forms user information from their side as well.

I am experiencing the same error.

I am using CloudFlare on the website where Gravity Forms is installed.

Disabling Super Bot Fight Mode in Cloudflare did not fix the error for us.

If disabling Super Bot Fight Mode is fixing it for some users, I believe Zapier needs to look into whether or not this is a CloudFlare firewall related issue. If it is, users will need instructions as to what IP addresses or user agents should be whitelisted.

Hello @DancingQueen. I hear you and I get your frustration!

I’ve added you to the issue, so you’ll be notified once there is a solution. In the meantime, please do reach out to the Gravity Forms support team as the more customer data they can get - the more likely they can get a solution out to customers sooner. I know there’s been a ton of back and forth between Gravity Forms support and Zapier support trying to figure this out and your information helps.

This is absolutely outragiouse!

Can someone please take ownership of this matter and solve it to the benefit of all of us customers, paying both to Zapier and Gravity form, just to end up with two products that cannot work with each other?!

This is devastating for all business who are relying on this to WORK!

 

Please advise ASAP!

@john-rl You’ve been added to the report and you’ll be notified once we have a solution. We appreciate your patience!

Same issue, any status ?  The WP instance is set to auto update Gravity Forms plugin, so version should not be a problem.
