I need to manually run a Zap to test it (the Test only processes one record and I need to process a loop).

It is a scheduled Zap (only because there is no Manual Trigger option)

Hi ​@BLife 

For Zaps that have a scheduled polling trigger type, there will be a button in the Zap Editor to “Run Zap”.

You can also test end-to-end: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/18811411817741-Test-Zap-steps#h_01JVZF37AVFCHYETQ0DG4W8NST

Zapier doesn’t offer a true manual trigger, but here’s a workaround: you can temporarily add a Webhook (Catch Hook) or Google Sheets "New Row" trigger to manually start the Zap with your test data. This will let the full loop run instead of just processing one record in the Test step. Once tested, you can switch back to the scheduled trigger.
