I have a zap that starts in Mailchimp and ends in Salesforce. 99% of the Mailchimp subscribers are already contacts in Salesforce. Occasionally, one may be a lead not yet converted to a contact. The 2nd task of my zap searches Salesforce for a contact with the Mailchimp subscriber’s email address. In the case of a lead, the task fails.
I am rather new with Zapier, but shouldn’t I be able to configure it to alert me of such a failure? or do I need to set up a separate zap to do that?
Thanks!

I may have answered my own question. My profile had “Send Alerts on Failed Trigger” set to “Repeated”. I’ve changed it to “Always”.

+10Watch out, those alerts are only going to come through when the trigger on your zap fails, not a subsequent search step.
You’ll want to set up another zap with a “Zapier Manager->New Halted Task” trigger… that will alert you when needed.

I created a zap template for this use case. You can find the link + instructions here:
