Question

Cannot Connect my Sub-Zap

Hello,

I am new to automation and am currently trying to connect a Zap to a Sub-Zap for a simple Google Sheets-to-Google Sheets workflow.

During testing, the Sub-Zap worked correctly before it was published. However, after publishing it and connecting it to my existing Zap, I encountered an error indicating that the Sub-Zap could not be located.

Additionally, whenever I attempt to publish or turn on the Sub-Zap, it automatically turns itself off shortly afterward.

Could you please help me understand what might be causing this issue and how I can resolve it?

Thank you for your assistance.

I am currently exploring Zapier's features and functionality, but I have been stuck on this issue for over a day. As someone who is still learning the platform, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance anyone can provide.

In your Zap Step 4, check the CONFIGURE tab and reselect the field options.

    Hello Sir, thank you for responding. 

    I tried deleting Step 4, configuring it again, reselecting the field options, making sure that every subzap is from the same version number,  and connecting it again. However, the issue still remains.

    Hello Sir,

    Thank you for checking on me.

    Unfortunately, I was not able to resolve the issue. I managed to get in touch with Zapier Support and followed all the instructions they provided but the problem remains. However, our conversation was also disconnected because I replied after 10 minutes that’s why I had a problem following through my Sub-zap issue.
