Hi @Luke Beley 

 

This depends on which app you are trying to authenticate. Basically this means you weren't able to connect Zapier to your app.

Hi @Luke Beley 

Good question.

Try using a new/different private browser.

Hi @Luke Beley 

Did you try this suggestion to connect Gravity Forms to Zapier?

Try using a new/different private browser.

 

Check out the available help articles for using Gravity Forms in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/gravity-forms/help

 

Workaround is to use the Gravity Forms Webhook Add-On: https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/webhooks/

The Zap trigger would be Webhook Catch Hook: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

Hi @Luke Beley 

 

It doesn't say so here https://docs.gravityforms.com/zapier-add-on/

 

What it says is that you need to instal the app first then try connecting.

Hi @Luke Beley 

I’m sorry that you’ve had a lot of difficulty connecting Gravity Forms to Zapier. If you do decide to give it another go and get stuck, I’d recommend reaching out to the Zapier support team (using the Get Help form) as the Support team have a lot of super powers that we don’t here in the Community. If you do get in touch with them, be sure to include everything that you’ve already looked at/tried as that will help you to get on the same page quicker.
