Affinity error: The app returned "Field organization_id: expected 296568492 to be a valid id for model Affinity::Models::Company: 0

Hello,

I have a pretty simple zap that SOMETIMES gives this error and i can’t figure out why.

Basically the interested part of the zap does two things:

  1. Creates the organization in Affinity
  2. Add it to a list

It works 90% of the time but in rare cases it fails to add the org to the list giving this error:

Here’s the zap:

It’s just the 4 steps that gives this error and then skips to the point 6 (then it does everything else correctly).

I can’t figure out what’s going on especially because it works almost always and then it doesn’t for some submissions.

Hi @mc_vento 

Try adding a Delay step between Steps 3 and 4.

It may be that Affinity hasn’t finished processing the creation of a new Org by the time it is trying to be assigned to the list in the following step.

Hi Troy,

I added the delay and I thought the problem was solved, but I still get the error from time to time and it’s very frustrating.
