Testing a Zap that won't effect your task count

G

Is there a way to test a Zap that is live and ready to go without paying for it? We are using Zapier to integrate Google events and a text message service and we would like to run several tests to confirm that everything is working as it should. We just want to make sure in the process, that we are not paying for every test we have.

Hey @GeminiB! Troy is correct in that once your Zap is on, any “runs” will count against your tasks for the current billing cycle. However, you are welcome to test as many times as you want utilizing the “Test” section of each step of your Zap to make sure things are coming across as they should, without counting against your monthly usage. 🙂
