  • Your Zap is called: "Send Birthday SMS to customers from Gmail PDFs"
  • It's fully configured with 4 steps (Gmail → AI → Filter → RingCentral SMS)
  • The system won't let you publish because of test validation blocks
  • You need them to either: manually publish it OR help you bypass the test requirements

Hi ​@rleong,

If you want to skip validating individual steps, you can click Skip Test (Pictured). This will let Zapier know you’re ok with proceeding with the current configuration. I believe you have to test or select “skip test” for all available steps before you can turn a zap on. 

 

 

Hope this helps!

Hi ​@rleong 👋 Did Robin and Troy's advice about skipping tests get it sorted, or are you still unable to publish the Zap?

Happy to help if you're still running into issues.
