We started to use Octoparse (web scraper) on a regular schedule as a trigger. It works well, but every now and then stops actually triggering. The solution seems to be to turn off the zap and then back on again. After that, it will work for a while, but then stops again. Has anyone else seen this issue and know how to solve it?

Hi @DavidR 

Might be worth opening a ticket with Zapier Support for them to investigate further: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Also try checking the Zap Change History via the ( i ) icon on the Zap for clues as to why a Zap turns OFF.
