Hey guys!

If you're like me, you find yourself testing new zaps and zap ideas constantly.

One common problem though, if you are just trying to test an Action, is that you still need a trigger!

If you try and test your Action step without a trigger, you'll be hit with one of these:

You can set it up with any day and any time, so you don't have to waste any time figuring things out, also the test will always work, so it's a very quick fix.

Hi folks, interesting ideas are being discussed in this topic!

@AndrewJDavison_Luhhu If you want to debug an action output when testing from the zap builder, you could use Redux DevTools chrome extension (Since Zapier website is built based on React/Redux) to find the output of a trigger/search/action. Check out this screenshot. I tested this with a Code step but it should be pretty much the same for any app's action. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ikbel
