Hi
Make sure to check the available help articles for Gmail: https://zapier.com/apps/gmail/help
FYI: For Zap triggers that are NOT instant, the trigger interval will depend on your Zapier plan, which can be from 1-15 minutes.
Not all my emails are triggering my Zap
Each Gmail trigger has a specific length of time in the past that it can "see" emails in your Gmail account. If the email in question is older than the time limit, the trigger won't be able to detect that email.
These limits are as follows:
- New Labeled Email - Unlimited
- New Starred Email - 2 days
- New Email - 1 hour
- New Email Matching Search - 1 hour
- New Thread - 1 hour
- New Attachment - 1 hour
This is our zap, that means let just say every hour this is triggered, I still don't believe we burned 1800 tasks in less than an 24hour. is there any chance we can get our tasks back?

Hi
Make sure to reference the description underneath the Search String field.
What’s likely happening is the the Zap is creating a loop (and thus firing more than expected) because the trigger is happening for sent emails from your Zap step 2.
Adjusting the Search String to include “in:inbox” thus being more restrictive should reduce the number of times the Zap triggers to only the emails you expect to trigger.
