Just wanted to follow up here to add that Zapier does not have the ability to automatically trigger for pre-existing files that were added to OneDrive before the Zap was switched on.

In order for the Zap to trigger on the existing files, you would need to re-add them to OneDrive so that the Zap will see them as “new” files and trigger on them.

With the “Action needed: 190 held Zap runs” error there are four different reasons why runs will be held:

High task use: If the Zap is triggering more than 100 times at once, you’ll want to check out the Race Limiting and Throttling guide, as Troy mentioned, for more details on how to prevent this from occurring.
Reconnect needed: Sometimes an app account connection can cause issues if the password is changed or it expires. In cases like this, reconnecting the account should allow held Tasks to be successfully replayed.
Upgrade needed: If your account has exceeded its plan limits (used too many Tasks, Zaps etc.) then you may need to update to a higher plan in order to replay the held runs.
Payment issue: If the payment information for your account is incorrect or has since expired this will need to be updated before the held runs can be replayed.
